Just wondering if anyone has had experience with Dr. Sonnanstine in Columbus OH?

Yes, he did my VSG at Riverside Hospital in December 2012. He was fantastic- great surgeon. His office staff left much to be desired, though. That would be my only complaint. They are not the brightest bulbs. I do know that they have revamped the office, maybe they got rid of some dead weight as well. I liked the dieticians as well. Let me know if you have any questions!

That is great to hear. How long were you in the hospital and how was your recovery?

I went in on Monday and was out Wednesday afternoon. Felt like hell the 1st 4 days, but by the 5th felt good.

That is not too bad. I am hoping to just take my two weeks vacation and not have to use disability. I have a sedentary job.

How much have you lost? I have about 130 to lose. I am almost 49 and have tried every diet out there. I lose and gain the same 20 pounds. I am also beginning menopause.
