Looking for others out here in the valley of the sun???

Hi there. I'm in Phoenix. I'm scheduled to be sleeved July 9th by Dr. Juarez at St. Luke's.

He the best in the Phoenix area. I got sleeved 12/22/14 I'm down about 75lbs.

I'm so excited!!! Thank you for the info

I live in Scottsdale. I am getting sleeved in TJ on Monday. Ready to get the show on the road!

I had Dr. Sprunger for gastric bypass on 4/22/15 I would recommend looking else where for a surgeon.

Surgery this week with Dr. Swain at Scottsdale Healthcare

How did everything go? I will be getting the sleeve with Dr. Swain in October.

My surgery was ruff I had complications. My suggestion to you is to walk as much as possible even if it hurts. Always remember why you're doing this even when down. There will be times when you're wondering wth have I done! Do not get discouraged! The dangers of long term obesity is much worse than any gastric complications. Take a good look at your old body because your life is about to change 100%. Congratulations on a huge step towards health!

I'm in mesa Az I'm 7 months po. I'm down 80lbs. Luv it

Go Nancy! Any complications? What's your worst peeve?

I'm from AZ and just got sleeved on July 20th.

I had no complications. The only thing that was hard was drinking the protein drinks. Ewwww but I did it. I still have lots of work but I'm on my way

@@ASUgrad Things are going really well! I'm almost exactly 6 months post-op (bypass w/Dr. Swain) -- and down 98 lbs!! He was great, very warm and friendly - the 'great surgeon' part goes w/o saying ) Best of luck!

I live in Gilbert, AZ. Had my sleeve done 6/25/15 by Dr. Fang with the Bridges Center (St. Luke's). Down 24 lbs since surgery and just over 40 since the start of my 2 week preop diet. No complications (so far). I was quite nervous as this was the first time I had surgery in my life, but was very satisfied with my Dr. and the hospital care.

I can't believe I hadn't seen this thread before! I am from Glendale. I had my surgery on May26th with Dr. Graf at Banner Estrella! Been feeling really good lately!!! I am down 31lbs from surgery and 40lbs from pre-op diet!!! Glad to see Everyone on a thread!! Anyone else used banner for surgery? Or even Dr. Graf?? Loved him!
