Kansas city area sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My name is lacey and I'm having surgery June 30th at Blue valley surgical hospital... Dr. Drahota is performing my sleeve. Just trying to see if I have some people close or maybe even have the same doctor. I'm so ready to start this journey :)

Oh, I know Dr Hamilton, too. Very nice man! And from what my friends have told me, an excellent surgeon. Good luck to you on the 30th! Give a shout out when you are coherent and up and about! See you on the losers bench!

I was sleeved on June 15, I am down 76 pounds!! Have not really had any problems since coming home from my very rough hospital stay. Dr. Price was my dr at St. Luke's on the plaza. I really like the office and staff, they really get you ready for the surgery and after.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
