Ready4Life14 14 Posted April 16, 2014 Is there anyone out there from the St. Charles County area of Missouri???? I would love to have someone to be a local buddy. Dr. Mario Morales will be doing my VSG at DePaul hopefully in the next 4-6 weeks. Hi! I am new to this site. I live in St. Louis - North County. Hoping to have my surgery within the next few weeks. I don't have a date yet. But I've completed all my pre testing and just wating to hear back from the insurance company. I'm having Gastric Bypass and Dr. Morales will be doing my surgery at DePaul. I know the topic says 'sleevers' but I saw St. Louis and thought I could just jump in and hang out! 1 hillgirly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know the topic says 'sleevers' but I saw St. Louis and thought I could just jump in and hang out! Hi! I had Dr. Morales too. He is excellent! Just to warn you I found out in the hospital that 95% of his patients spend two nights in the hospital. So be prepared. He is very conservative and careful but I think that's good.

Happydales 12 Posted May 21, 2014 Hi everyone, I live in St. Louis, 55/270 area. Would love to meet you ladies. Maybe we could meet at St Louis bread Company (great Soups and salads) in the middle. I had my surgery at My New Self with Dr Minkin on March 19, 2014. So far I've lost a fourth grader, 62.5 pounds.
