Dr Sonnastine at Ohio Health anyone?

Just wondering if anyone has had experience with Dr. Sonnanstine in Columbus OH?

Yes, he did my VSG at Riverside Hospital in December 2012. He was fantastic- great surgeon. His office staff left much to be desired, though. That would be my only complaint. They are not the brightest bulbs. I do know that they have revamped the office, maybe they got rid of some dead weight as well. I liked the dieticians as well. Let me know if you have any questions!

That is great to hear. How long were you in the hospital and how was your recovery?

I went in on Monday and was out Wednesday afternoon. Felt like hell the 1st 4 days, but by the 5th felt good.

That is not too bad. I am hoping to just take my two weeks vacation and not have to use disability. I have a sedentary job.

How much have you lost? I have about 130 to lose. I am almost 49 and have tried every diet out there. I lose and gain the same 20 pounds. I am also beginning menopause.
