Missouri....St. Charles County Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Is there anyone out there from the St. Charles County area of Missouri???? I would love to have someone to be a local buddy. Dr. Mario Morales will be doing my VSG at DePaul hopefully in the next 4-6 weeks.

Hi! I'm kind of new here, but I'm in St. Louis County and will be having my VSG at Des Peres on May 14th. I actually live about a mile away from DePaul. :)

Hi All... Just posted to another site similar to this thread.... I live in St Peters, and would love to meet up somewhere for a support group. I had my sleeve surgery on Feb 4, 2014 through Des Peres Hospital. Dr. Scott was my surgeon. He is the only reason I went there. I do not go out there for the support groups as they really. Don't fit my schedule. However I do feel it is much needed in order to have success . Is anyone interested in meeting? I will be happy to get something together if anyone is interested. Let me know. Thanks.

Cathylymn1....is Dr. Scott going your surgery? He did my sleeve on 2/4/14. He is very good! Stay in touch and let me know how things are going. Also if you have any questions as I am just a couple months ahead of you!

patt0122 I would love to meet and start a support group out this way. I am in the anxiously waiting stage to get final word from my insurance company. My surgery will be at DePaul and it is fine for the surgery but will not work for their support groups.

Hi patt0122...Dr. Ricks is doing mine. The office has been really nice and helpful so far. DePaul is actually closer for me, but all the support groups were during the day, so I wouldn't be able to go. It's exciting & kind of scary too!

Hi CathyLynn....I have heard good things about Dr Ricks as well. You will do just fine. I was actually shocked at how easy the actual surgery was. I also had a hernia repaired at the time of surgery. When I left the hospital they sent me on my way with a pain med, nausea med, and an antacid. I only filled the pain and nausea meds, and have not taken either since I have been home. Did not need any of it!

I will tell you to stock up on Popsicles!!! This has been, and still is my saving grace. For me, I was not able to drink the amt of Water I was accustom to, and the Popsicles really helped. Also, I am such a picky, picky eater......again, the Popsicles saved me when I was on straight liquids. I can't stand any of the drops you put in Water. I like my water plain. Also I was a huge Diet Pepsi drinker......so all I was able to do was sip water.....again.....Popsicles.

One thing......I tried Schnucks, Shop n' Save and Dierbergs dor sugar free Bomb Pops (this is what the have at the hospital, and my favorite), but I could not find sugar free. I went ahead and got the regular, as they are only 40 calories. Since you are not getting much in the first couple weeks, I did not feel it mattered. I have lost 52lbs, and stii continue to eat the regular bomb pops. Every time I buy the, I do look for sugar free, but I have yet to be able to find them. I think I will be able to get them, as the warmer weather gets here.

Let me know if you have any questions!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
