Dr. Scott at Des Peres. Loved him and his entire staff. Had a great experience. Not a single complication and a fast recovery.

4 1/2 months post-op. HW 253,

SW 240, CW 177. 37 more pounds to goal.

Started the program at Mercy. Made it all the way to insurance approval. Lost confidence in the Doctor and the Mercy staff. The day before my surgery, I contacted Des Peres Hospital and transferred my medical records. Within three weeks I had my appt to meet the dr, pre-op and surgery. Changing physicians and hospitals was the best decision ever. I am very satisfied with Dr. Scott, his staff and the whole My New Self program.

I've heard about Dr. Scott a friend of mine had him, said he was very pleased and lost a lot too! I'm currently seeing Dr. Wheeler at DePaul Ssm weight loss institute I've had a good experience with him so far. I had my last appointment of the 6 month wait on 1/7/16 so I'm just waiting for submission and approval! Only problem is on my first initial appointment they recorded my weight wrong, they had me weighing about 35 lbs less then I actually did so it looks like I gained 35lbs in 6 weeks on paper! My insurance advocate said it won't be an issue but I think it will because my in my policy it says no net weight gain so now I'm just hoping and praying everything works in my favor and fast too because I'm ready to start this journey!!

I had my surgery at DesPeres. The hospital staff is really supportive. Some of the nurses have had surgery so they understand. I was in the hospital about 26 hours. No complications, great recovery. I recommend MyNewSelf, if you want a fast smooth process.

I initially called them for a consultation but they didn't take my insurance then pcp referred me to DePaul and I think Des Peres is Ssm too but I don't no why they didn't accept my insurance..

      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! 😞
