Congrats! How did it go? How are you feeling?

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 near Como Park. ?

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.

Too Funny!! My appointment is Tuesday next week at 10:30.

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.

Dr Luther is great. My surgery went very well. I had minimal pain after and recovered quick!
