Where are all the Ohio folks?

 

Just starting the WLS journey myself.  I have selected Ohio Health in Columbus and Dr Sonnanstine.

 

Any tips or suggestions for a newbie?

Hi Dan,

I'm in s. ohio near West Union. I'm seeing Dr Siddiqui at Premier Assoc. in Dayton. No date yet, 6 month req diet started June 3rd so will finish that end of Nov. Nutrtionist said date should be around Feb. at Miami Valley hosp.

As far as tips, there are tons of you tube vids. Just type in "bariatric surgery" or "weight loss surgery" or the name of the actual surgery you are having... mine I typed in VSG for the vertical sleeve gastrectomy.

Make sure you know what your Ins. comp. requires as far as pre-surgery diet length (mine=6 months) and co- morbids,and BMI.My doc wants me to lose 20lbs from last July 28 to surgery.10 down, 10 to go.

Good luck,

Diane

Thanks Diane!

 

I just finished my 6 months and have my scope on Wednesday.  Then off to insurance approval world I believe.  I am hoping for a Nov/December date.

Hi!  I'm in Dayton also!  Welcome to the losers club! I had my surgery in Florida.  Are you attending support groups at Grandview?  I would really like to start going to a support group again.  Good luck!

No I haven't gone to any support groups yet. I'm just under 3 months out. Might be something I would consider though. I'm south of town in Centerville.

Hey Ya'll:

I'm from Dayton also.  I had RNY with Dr. Siddiqui on Monday, November 14 -- 4 weeks ago today. I'm still on the soft mushy food stage.

Love seeing so many area people. How are you-all doing on your liquids and proteins goals?

Amanda
