Carlagrant. Dr Minkin is very nice and very thorough. He takes his time and answered all my questions. The overnight stay in the hospital wasn't bad but my surgery was later afternoon and I should have stayed a second night. Felt queasy and crabby but it turned out fine. Make your. f/u appt with the nutrition nurse for the same day as your one week post op. Makes it easy. You can ask me any questions you have, I'm only 2 weeks out but doing good so far. Good luck!

I live in the edwardsville area, but work in St. Louis at Mercy Hospital. Had my surgery in Washington, Mo. Had surgery the 7/14-- eating solid food for a few weeks and has been going great. I started this journey feb 6. I've lost 82 pounds since I started. 23 lbs on liquid preop diet. 35.6 lbs since surgery.

I from the St. Louis area, I currently have lap band and really want to switch over to the sleeve. My insurance now doesn't cover bariatric surgery. Is anyone private pay or know of any loop holes to get some of it covered. My last upper gi showed a hernia and I thought I have read something in the past about

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
