I had mine done 3/19/13 and at Miami Valley Hospital. Any fellow Ohioans want to be VSG buddies?!

I am in Lancaster, just south of Columbus. I had mine done at Riverside in Columbus by Dr. Sonnastine on 12/17. Nice to meet you!

Yay, so happy for you! Only a step away from the biggest day of your life...it is a fresh start, new you! You will learn fast to sip sip sip chew chew chew...just after surgery sit up and even walk when you can litter patter up and down those halls..and trust me the more you're up and moving the quicker the air bubbles move up and you can start showing them you want to go walking and you can go home!

I was sleeved by Dr. Pitt through Fresh Start / Ohio Health at Riverside on 4-4. I would love to get a group together and meet once a month. We could do clothing exchange and talk about whatever we need to. I've noticed it's difficult to explain everything to everyone. It would be nice to talk to people who knew what you were feeling first hand.

I think that sounds like a great idea. I haven't been sleeved yet, still in the supervised diet stage. Hoping to get a date soon. I would definitely attend something on a monthly basis.

I would be interested in a Ohio sleeve support group......just got all those hoops jumped and submission to insurance is imminent!

Hi everyone! I am in the Cleveland area and just got approval to start the weight loss surgery program at Kaiser, hoping to get the sleeve surgery in 7-8 months. I am so excited, and it is nice to see that there are other Ohio people out there going through the same thing as me!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
