Midwest Bariatric Clinic in Neenah, WI

[TatorTot 44]

I know this is a long shot but I am looking for anyone in the Appleton, WI area that has had surgery or thinking about it. I have been told that the two surgeons here know their stuff. I did go to a meeting to meet them but of course they are always going to put out the best of themselves......lol.

I'm in your area and am going through aurora bay care in Green Bay. Not a fan of Midwest bariatric at theda, SIL went there and complained about her care team. We went to dr. McKenna, I think they go to Oshkosh for people there. Keep me posted on what you decide, I'm looking at a possible September surgery date.

I went to aurora with dr. McKenna best decision ever. He really knows his stuff. I was amazed when he explained how he does the sleeve, going through each cut and why. Great experience. I may just be lucky but this Thursday will be a month and I've had no complications and everything has been great.

Highest weight 310

Surgery weight 274

One month later on Thursday 243

Jargon, glad to hear it's going well, I just started the process hoping to get sleeved in September. Are you in Green Bay?

Yep, I'm in the gb area. I was so nervous but I really lucked out with no real issues so far post op and my wife and family has been awesome.

I think what helped the most was working out before really cleaning up my eating prior to surgery so it wasn't overwhelming after.

We weigh every thing, portion it out so it is easy to grab and go.

Glad you are having success, I had my preliminary pulmonary for the sleep study. Trying to get as much done as I can early on, hoping to get quick approval to be done in September, my MIL is having surgery on October 3 and I'd like to be able to spend some of my recovery time off with her while she heals.

Any tricks or words of wisdom for this with aurora I'd love to hear!
