FYI--Not from minnesota but my daughter is now there. she was just married in Lutsen resort two days ago on the shores of lake superior.I had several great hikes-- wonderful place, .although probably not in the winter. She loves it out there, despite the winters. good luck

My daughter just graduated from ST Olaf college, in Northfield. How do you put up with those winters? we visited her at christmas once and that was plenty for me and I like cold weather.

Funny story...last weekend we went up to Grand Marais (which is a bit further north than Lutsen). Was supposed to be 79 where I am, so I popped on shorts and flip flops and got ready for a day at the beach.

When we arrived it was a mere 50 degrees with brisk winds..I was FREEZING!! In this area they always tell you to have a winter survival kit in your car during the long winter months...what they should tell you is to have a winter survival kit in your car for the summer too. LOL

Interesting! I'm also on 7/30 with Dr. Jones. Looks like we will be hospital buddies :-)

Justkeepswimming~ I'm actually not sure of the time yet... Apparently I'm not at 7:00 ;-) I will be calling tomorrow to find out and I'll let you know. I'm sure we will run into each other doing laps around the nurses station.

Krtrebie~ When were you sleeved?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
