new VSG in Southeast KS - patient of Dr. Hoehn!

It doesn't look like this forum is very active but I thought I'd say "Hi" to all the other Kansans out there!  I live in Southeast KS & I used Dr. Hoehn of Bariatric Center of KC for my VSG on 2/16/12.  Since I'm so far from my surgeon, I don't belong to a support group & I'm using OH as my support system!

I recall from the past here on the KS forum a member named marylaw who ran a support group in Winfield.  She has a VSG like yourself.  I think her surgeon is from OK, though.  I think the group disbanded due to lack of attenders.  On page three of this forum's past threads, I found one of her posts about it. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/KS/4096360/January-Support -Group-Meeting/  Here is her proflile page http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/marylaw
.  You can private message her to talk, and maybe even meet in real life.

Hi melissa!

 I have not had my surgery am just waiting for approval from bcbs and am getting really excited and nervous. dr. hoehn will be doing mine as well. how did you like him? i'm having the vsg also and wish he would update his site it still says he has only done 200 of them and i know its alot more. how is it going with the new sleeve? i looked at your stats and looks like you are doing very well. i hope you check your email from time to time because i would love to talk to you. take care and have a wonderful day.

I just sent you a friend request so you can read my blogs/updates.  I loved Dr. H & have had a wonderful experience.  I'm so happy that I made the decision to get the sleeve done = has changed my life already & I'm only 3 months out.  The future is so very promising now...I'm excited again about life, about being active with my family, and so much more opportunities that my weight has limited up until now! ~best wishes on your journey & I look forward to keeping in touch! ~Melissa

People don't really understand that sometimes when they are losing weight, they may be losing muscle first and holding on to fat.Go to one of your local Weight Loss Centers and learn about weight loss so you will really understand how to lose weight.
