Thank you. I am going to Michigan to see Dr Farhan my Surgeon hope he can help me too.I have called 7diffrent bariatric doctors here and the all say no. One said they would take me but it would be $350.00 for the first visit and $200.00 there after. I have good insurance so I shouldn't have to pay that. I am no going to let it get me down though. I will succeed. If I have to keep going to Michigan from Kansas. You have a wonderful day thanks again. loving this sleeve Sherri

I just want to say it is pretty said when a person go's through all this surgery to change there lives. And I had to move to Kansas because my Husband took a job transfer to have a job. I have called many bariatrics doctor to find one to take over my care in Kansas from Michigan and not one will except me and I have good insurance. At least I know my Doctor in Michigan will except me so I have my 6 month Appointment with him. Thank you Dr. Jamal Farhan for being such a wonderful man.. Went to my new Family Doctor today She said the same thing it is going to be hard for me to get another bariatric Doctor to take over because he didn't do the surgery. Thats said I thought That Bariatrics of Excellence ment something. Now I have no support group to attend I am on my own. ^ months out and very flustrated...... I Live in Overland PArk Kansas if anyone has ideas. Help... Loving My Sleeve Sherri

Hi Kansas friends,

I've started a little group to help those (yes, including myself) who have gained 10 or more pounds beyond that lowest weight. I'm calling it the "Drop 10 for 10 Challenge". You can easily join this group by going to www.obesityhelp.com/group/Drop10410. I'm hoping that with your help we can generate a little excitement and enthusiasm for getting back on track. We will have a monthly weighin, but it will only be pounds off since the start of the new 2010 decade. Your participation is only what you want to make it. I'm pumped up and ready to get back on track for 2010.

There are no hard and fast rules for joining, but you really should be at least 10 pounds above your lowest post-surgery weight and interested in getting things back in line.

Let's get this new decade off to a great start.

Thank you. I found a family Dr. at Shawnee Mission. I am hoping One of the Bariatrics Doctors will take me as a patient for my follow-ups. I have to have one that has done the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. I had my surgery Aug 4, 09. Love this sleeve. Sherri

Thank you Cristy.  This is so hard moving and finding new Doctors. I found a family Dr. today at Shawnee Mission Medical center. So I am hoping one of there Bariatric Dr. will take my case. I was told by my Dr. Farhan that if they are a bariatrics of excellence they have to take me. So I'm not to scared now. Thanks agian and good luck on your journey too. I know I love my sleeve. Sherri
