I want to connect to some folks from alabama? I would like to know which surgeons and/or hospitals that you would recommend. Good and bad reviews are welcomed. Thank you;-)

I'm I Alabama about an hour from mobile my Dr. Dyas at mobile infirmary will have surgery between may & June as I'm waiting on my daughters approval

Hi! I'm in the Birmingham area. My surgeon is Dr. Lee Schmitt at St. Vincent's East. My surgery is scheduled for July 24th!!

My doctor is Dr Schmitt as well and my date is july25!!!

Congrats! When is your nutrition class? Mine is on the 17th. I am so excited, yet nervous and looking forward to getting to a healthy weight and off my meds!

Congrats to you also!! I already have taken my nutrition class, I have my preadmit testing on the 17th though. I am really nervous also--I'm so scared something is going to go wrong between now and then...I'm praying not, so ready to start my new life

I do my pre admit testing and pre-op surgeon visit on the 17th as well.

Good luck tomorrow

Thank you! I started my pre-op full liquid diet yesterday and can't believe I survived!! LOL I had been cutting back gradually over the past couple of weeks just so it would not be a complete shock to my body. I never realized how satisfying a cup of warm broth could be! I had no problem getting my 64 ounces consumed throughout the day. Good luck with your pre-admit testing tomorrow!

HI,

Hi Karen!

I live in Ashville and visit Montgomery every few weeks!! I am a bit nervous myself, but ready to get on with my new healthier life!

Good luck to you!

Good luck Karen

Roll Tide! Haha, I live in Montgomery, but am having my surgery July 21 by Dr. Lee Schmitt. He could not be more qualified and I feel like I'm in good hands. Anyone else have good experiences with Dr. Schmitt and his staff?
