Any sleevers in St. Louis, mo



Recommended Posts

Dr. Scott at Des Peres. Loved him and his entire staff. Had a great experience. Not a single complication and a fast recovery.

4 1/2 months post-op. HW 253,

SW 240, CW 177. 37 more pounds to goal.

Started the program at Mercy. Made it all the way to insurance approval. Lost confidence in the Doctor and the Mercy staff. The day before my surgery, I contacted Des Peres Hospital and transferred my medical records. Within three weeks I had my appt to meet the dr, pre-op and surgery. Changing physicians and hospitals was the best decision ever. I am very satisfied with Dr. Scott, his staff and the whole My New Self program.

I've heard about Dr. Scott a friend of mine had him, said he was very pleased and lost a lot too! I'm currently seeing Dr. Wheeler at DePaul Ssm weight loss institute I've had a good experience with him so far. I had my last appointment of the 6 month wait on 1/7/16 so I'm just waiting for submission and approval! Only problem is on my first initial appointment they recorded my weight wrong, they had me weighing about 35 lbs less then I actually did so it looks like I gained 35lbs in 6 weeks on paper! My insurance advocate said it won't be an issue but I think it will because my in my policy it says no net weight gain so now I'm just hoping and praying everything works in my favor and fast too because I'm ready to start this journey!!

I had my surgery at DesPeres. The hospital staff is really supportive. Some of the nurses have had surgery so they understand. I was in the hospital about 26 hours. No complications, great recovery. I recommend MyNewSelf, if you want a fast smooth process.

I initially called them for a consultation but they didn't take my insurance then pcp referred me to DePaul and I think Des Peres is Ssm too but I don't no why they didn't accept my insurance..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
