I am from Columbus and wondered if there was anyone out there lurking. Saw some old posts in here from other people in C-bus, but nothing new. I know we have a lot of bariatric surgeries going on here, so there has to be somebody! If there is anyone, let's all follow this thread and try to get support from each other!

I had my surgery back on may 16th it would be nice to talk with others going thru the same thing I live in groveport

I live in pickerington. You are pretty far ahead of me as my surgery is 11/28.

I'm in Dublin, I have my first appointment for the psych evaluation on 1/22. Then six months of supervised dieting (been there done that) and crossing my fingers my insurance will approve me. Hoping to be getting a new wardrobe for Christmas next year!

I'm going home tomorrow. I've got a little touch of pneumonia from the cough I had coming into my procedure. But I'm definitely feeling better. You are home? How's it going for ya at home? Sorry I'm a little loopy you are getting started in January right?

I am just starting the process, hoping to have my surgery next summer. I’m sorry about the pneumonia, that’s no joke! Feel better ?

Yes I agree. I wish you lots of luck through your journey and if I can ever answer any questions I'd be happy to. Did you say what hospital you are going through? I have Dr. Sonnanstine at RMH.....I highly recommend him.

Hey everyone, I had my sleeve done on 9-12-17. I went through OSU and my surgeon was Dr. Noria. I had the best experience going through OSU and Dr. Noria is an amazing Dr. If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer.

I am going to OSUWMC to Dr. Needleman. I work there so I don’t have much choice but I’m happy with my choice. I know Riverside is a great hospital though!

That's so funny I work for OhioHealth so that's my obvious choice. I actually started OSU's program 3 years ago and then kinda changed my mind about the whole thing until I've seen more and more amazing outcomes from co-workers.

Haha it’s nice to have the resources we do working at the places that do/will do our surgeries! I only know two people who have had WLS but they were both successful. I didn’t hear about the whole process so this message board has been a godsend.

That’s great to hear! How long were you there? How was the anesthesia process and nursing staff?
