Anyone in Wisconsin?



Recommended Posts

I'm 8 weeks out and would love to have someone to connect with that understands this process. The people in the support groups at the hospital are much older then me and I'm having a hard time relating to them.

I'm in the Milwaukee area. But I won't have surgery until Oct 23rd. I'm in my 30s, but most people I know who have WLS are in their late 40s or older.

I'm in Wisconsin, using aurora bay care in Green Bay for my team. I live half hour south of GB, work in the fox valley.

Who is your surgeon? Mine is Dr Rydlewicz.

Haven't chosen my dr yet. It will be done at Theda Clark in Neenah, WI.

I am going with Dr. Chua. He is the medical director of Bariatric surgery for Aurora in Milwaukee, which is why I chose him. I have completed all my paper work and aurora pre work- just waiting on my insurance to review the paper work and decide if they will approve me or not. Should know in the next few weeks.

My insurance will cover this for me. I'm so lucky! The more I read and research and take notice of how I feel, I'm so excit d to begin this journey. It will be a rough road with the life changes, but I have endured way worse!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
