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.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
