I was wondering if there is anyone here from Minnesota? I'm working with Dr. Jayson Dock at the St. Francis Hospital in Shakopee, Mn!

Im Kelly and I'm up in anoka! Going threw park Nicollet in St. Louis park. Would love a sleeve buddy!

I would love a sleve buddie too. I'm living down by lake Minnetonka right now but grew up.in the Coon Rapids/Anoka area my whole life. Where are you in your els? I'm going to my 5th out of my 6th nut appointment. Getting kind of nervous. You?

I'm waiting for ins to give a verdict. Waiting feels like torture. I've been calling daily to ask, not willing to just wait for the clinic to call with the news.

I had psych eval, nut, EKG, labs, 2 dr visits, a nurse clinician visit, physical therapy eval...my ins doesn't initially require much to submit for approval. I'm also terrified to totally jinx it with what I write! Lol...I've lived in Coon Rapids area my whole life as well. Have never ventured too far from my Mom in CR.

What clinic or program are you using for this process?

Sorry it took so long to get back...we ended up moving and just got thing finally settled here. I have my last dietian meeting next Monday and then my 2 psych evaluations...then we submit to insurance. Growing up in CR I always went through Allina Medical....so I found one out here. My surgery will be at the Shokopee hospital. How about you?

I quit allina. Lol. Their doctors are the reason I'm in the condition I am currently.

Health partners and park Nicollet have moved in up here and I'm grateful for that!

I'm actually having surgery next week! Oct 22nd, at 1pm. I've been on my pre op diet since Oct 6th. Not too bad, but I miss my garlic and onions.

I'm in the Anoka area as well (Ramsey). I had my surgery at the end of August and it has been the best thing I've ever done. I hope all is going well with your journey. Nice to see a few more people from Minnesota here.

I had the sleeve on Oct.25 at Park Nicollet and am in the Minnetonka area. Hope to see some of you at the support group meeting on Wed. night at Park Nicollet. Any other good support groups out there?

I'm hoping to be sleeved at the end of December. I have my to psych evals and then waiting for insurance. I'm originally from Coon Rapids but moved to the Minnetonka area.

I was sleeved threw park Nicollet at Methodist on the 22nd!

I haven't been to the support group yet..I've always got something going on and I'm too chicken to go the first time.
