Vsg In Minneapolis Area?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I live near Methodist Hospital and I had my surgery done there and Dr Jones and his staff were very supportive and wonderful!

I highly recommend getting Vertical Sleeve Surgery at Methodist Hospital in St Louis Park MN.

Join my VSG Twin Cities MN Support Group

If there is anyone who wants to talk about their experiences and their journey, from Minnesota or the Minneapolis area and surrounding suburbs that would be a great idea. Maybe even meet up in the future at a common destination and share the experience of our weight loss journeys. Have a nice day everyone!

I will be having surgery on Thursday at Unity with Dr. Johnson. I am getting excited but not nervous as I have already had a band installed and removed before. I pretty much know what to expect both after surgery and liquid diet afterwards. I would be interested in a meetup if anybody else is as well. I know I need to get to the hospital support group because I think I will have better success this time around.

Is the group private/hidden? I don't want my fb friends to see my posts.

I'm so glad I finally found this post!

I go Wednesday for my first set of appts at Park Nicollet and see Dorothy and Dr Demattia. Pretty nervous, but more than ready to get this done!

I'm not on Facebook, is there any avenue to chat with everyone beside that that are locals to MN?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
