I'm in Milwaukee, had my surgery October of this year at Elmbrook.

Hello everyone! I'm from the Sauk Prairie area. Just had my RNY @ UW w/Dr. Garren on 8/7 so I am 1 wk post-op. All went great and surprisingly I feel really good!:-)

Hi guys I'm from Racine, Wisconsin I had my surgery July 16th. It's been a rough recovery but everyday gets a little better. I had my surgery at Elmbrook.

Welcome new cheese heads!

MadisonMolly thank you for the welcome! If you don't mind me asking, how are your classes at UW? Are the being done by Tammy?! Overall I've been very happy with the UW bariatric staff.:-)

Hello, I'm in McFarland (Madison). Had my first consult July 2nd (Dr. Campos at UW). In the middle of the classes now (@Newbie - they are with Tammy and Steve - the dept. PA and Scott - the psychologist. Covering all sorts of interesting stuff). Hopefully all will be submitted by the end of the month with surgery in October!

fyi - if you see me in support group my name is Corie. Tilly Kaye is just my "handle".

Hi Corie! I plan to make the meeting in September, maybe I'll see you there!:-)

Hi Christy,

I participated in a one day boot camp class on 8/2. Tammy, Steve and Scott presented. I've been to the last couple support group meetings, too. I met Corrie at Monday's meeting. :-). Perhaps we'll all see each other at the Sept meeting?!

Dr engstrand was mine. I researched him and he was a top rated surgeon. However he doesn't have much bed side manner it seems.

I've heard that! Dr. B is pretty decent. I had some pretty serious complications AND a gall bladder removal, so we're pretty much bffs now. Lol

Hi there!

Milwaukee resident now moved here from hawaii last year. Would greatly appreciate it to know where most of you go for support or checkups here in mke area.

Hi everyone. I'm Sandra and I was sleeved on July 16th by Dr Garran at UW. This has been the most difficult thing that I have ever done. I am down 57 pounds but have stalled for the last 2 weeks. I really haven't done any exercise besides walking (I was a kickboxer pre surgery) so I'm hitting the gym this week and focused on the protein. Hopefully it will start melting off again! !!

Just joined the group today. I'm in Milwaukee. Planning surgery at Froedert sometime in the next 2 months - just waiting to schedule at this point. Very glad to be here (physically, virtually, metaphorically).

@ anaxila I just joined the group. ..haven't received my surgery date yet...I was updated that My insurance said it is still under review...also, I will be having my surgery at Froedtart hopefully this month. Have you been schedule?
