I’m in Woodbury. I finished all of my appts today. They will submit for insurance approval now. I’m going for a band revision to bypass.

I’m going to Meadowbrook. Anyone have experience there? They have been very nice so far.

Plan to have the surgery in June due to work and travel until then. Can’t wait!

Yes I had my surgery at Park Nicollet and had all my appts at Meadowbrook. I had Dr. Luther. I had a great experience. I'm about ten minutes from Woodbury.

I live in Hudson Wisconsin. I’m almost done with all my pre-op stuff I will be having my surgery at United by Dr. Svendsen. The staff that I have encountered has been wonderful! Everyone is genuinely happy and rooting for you to succeed.

I have heard great things about your Dr.! Are you having sleeve or bypass? We were just in Hudson last weekend :-)

I’m having mine done at United by Svendsen too!! Small world! I have 2 dietitian appts and the psych visit left. 😊 it’s a bummer Lyndsey left- hope the new dietitian is as good.

I’m having the bypass done. I have 1 dietitian visit left and the psych evaluation left. Who’s doing your psych? I am going to doctor Sidiqqi on floor 4. My last dietitian was with Lyndsey and the lady who is taking her place. She is really nice.

What are both of you having done?

I am seeing Dr. Siddiqui (sp?) too! I see her next week. I’m doing gastric bypass. I think my surgery should be in May.

I received approval from insurance in 2 days!! Dr. Luther will be my surgeon too. I see him on March 26. I won’t be getting the surgery until June but I’m so happy to be over this phase.

        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!!
