Hey all' date=' I am a sleever living in Lawrence, approaching my 2 year surgiversary. I was sleeved in CA but have lived here for a year and would very much like the support of real people, much as I love the VST forum, having a diet/health/fitness buddy in real life can't be beat. Hit me up if any of you are interested![/quote']

Hi I live in Ottawa if you're interested. My email is Wilson.Tamara 31@yahoo.com

Hi, Im from Kansas City MO. Having my surgery 2/28 with Dr Hoehn at KC Bariatrics. Today is the first day of my liquid diet and Ive failed already. Since we are snowed in I had to make Breakfast for my girls, MaltoMeal. I only had a little, but I know I wasnt suppose to have any. Ill be a good girl from now on. Im super excited and nervous all at the same time.

Congrats on your surgery date:) I has my sleeve 1/23 with Dr. Hamilton in the same office. It's a great practice! The pre op is the worst but trust me you can do it!! I know it's hard when you have a family to feed but doable.

I have my first appt with this practice on 3/4. What can I expect at my first appt? Do they schedule all your nutrition appts/psych eval/ everything at the first appt? So excited!

At your first appt you meet the doctor and he will answer any questions you and then you meet with a case manager who coordinates all you pre op stuff and she will give a work sheet of to do's prior to your surgery. The case manager helps you get though all the steps. All the staff is very helpful and nice:) I would recommend attending the support groups before surg if you can they are so helpful.

That's the first step:) I am about 4 weeks post op and I don't regret a minute of it! KC Bariatric is a great practice, very nice staff.
