My prayers and thoughts also- there are some things in lift that happen that bring it home just how fragile life is and just when you think all is going well, something happens. An hr earlier and that could have been me........

Now that the bridge is out I will need to find another route to get to the Abbott for fills. Anyone familiar with the area and can give me a good suggestion? OR - is there another place to go for fills north of the cities? I hate city driving.

TIA

The Star Tribune website has excellent maps (click on link) detailing alternate routes for travel. OH also has a listing of Bariatric Surgeons/Clinics that may be able to help locating an alternative fill doc.

I am starting down the path to my new life.

I have gone to the Info meeting for crosby hospital where they have 4 surgeons that do the lap-band and the r-n-y bypass.

My goal is to be able to go walking, hiking, biking with out getting short of breath and in pain. To start living life.

There is a new support group starting in Mora, MN at the Allina Hospital. Meetings are every other Monday evening at 7:00 pm. Tonight it the first one. They will have a scale for us to weigh if we want. The scale will measure Water, muscle, bone, each arm and leg too if we want. They are also going to have a healthy snack available if we want. Tonight's topic is Getting back on Track. Hope to meet you there!:clap2:

Hi All,

I didn't realize there is a Minnesotan forum here! I've been out in the August 07 forum a lot but it never hurts to find another group!

I was banded 8/22/07 at Methodist with Dr. Wetherille. Everything's gone swimmingly well so far! 50 lbs down, and at least that many to go.

How's everyone else doing?

Hi Pizzicato66,

I am going through the process at Park Nicollet and chose Dr Wetherille. I am really curious about him and I haven't met anyone that's had him as a surgeon. Can you tell me anything about him, like his bedside manner? I won't get to meet with him until after my appts at the end of December.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
