jamtlo 4 Posted November 7, 2014 I live just outside Lawrence. Had my sleeve done in Florida in June when I lived down there. My surgeon, Dr Ache at Suncoast Bariatrics, was awesome. Down 90 lbs so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kcsaab 6 Posted November 22, 2014 Did anyone use Saint Luke's on the plaza and Dr. Sorensen? I'm scheduled for this coming Tuesday and really debating going through with it, scare to death:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jalb 4 Posted November 23, 2014 I used St Lukes South in Overland Park. Dr. Slayden. It was well worth it and I have not had any regrets. I would be lying if I told you I was not nervous too, when I had the surgery. Coming up on one year post op, But again for me it was well worth it and the whole team was very supportive.

Jen Godinez 3 Posted November 23, 2014 I live in Lawrence I went to Topeka. I think we all are a little scared before surgery. Your going to do great and your going to be in great hands. All the best to you we are here for support if you need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4LgrLife_53 82 Posted November 23, 2014 I was nervous too, but everything turned out fine so far. I had my surgery Nov 4th and went home the following morning. No nausea and very little pain. Only used the pain meds the first two days (including the night in the hospital). Main thing to do is get up and walk as much as you can tolerate after you get to your room (and home) so you can work the gas out of your system. I'm down over 30 lbs and still dropping weight. Happy as a lark that I'm already having to switch out of some big clothes into smaller sizes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
