Hi! I'm being sleeved at Froedtert in Milwaukee on December 17th. I have Dr. Wallace. Anyone else have him? I love his straight-forward, no-nonsense approach. I'm curious about the hospital stay at Froedtert. I could've gone to Dean in Madison (we live in between Madison and Milwaukee), which seems much nicer, almost like a hotel - but chose Milwaukee because of the good reviews of Dr. Wallace.

Hello I'm in Milwaukee

I was sleeved on February 4th at Columbia St. Mary My surgeon was Dr. Craig Siverhus. I wil be at the one month point on Marcy 4th and so far I have lost at my 3 week follow-up 25 lbs and my beginning weight was 250. My goal is to get to 140 lbs and to run a full 2 miles by next summer.

So I just got a letter from my surgeon (form letter) that he is retiring effective immediately. Anyone know details about Dr. Kemmerling in Green Bay.

I am about 8 months out from surgery and doing well. Now, trying to decide if I should follow up with anyone else, or just move forward.

I'm getting sleeved by Dr. Wallace in October. How did you like him? I like the straight forward approach with my physicians. I think the Bariatric wing of the hospital was remodeled recently.

I was so dissappointed in Dr Kemmerling. I was 5 months into the process when he announced his"retirement" now he is advetising he is doing vein surgery. Very fishy!! I do like my new sergeon Dr Zane Prewitt. He did a fantastic job on my sleeve. So happy I was forced to make the change.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
