Hi Tammy,
I know it's been along time since you posted here, but there is a support group at Des Pere Hospital through My New Self. It meets on the first and third Tuesday of the month.

Hey KayLavonne,
So sorry I'm late. So much had been going on that I actually forgot about this site.
Update: I had the surgery done September 5. And I am now a little over two weeks postop. It's going well surgery wise however I am experiencing a lot of back and shoulder pain. Some of which seems a little unbearable at times. Went to my Doctor 2 days ago she says it's gas.
Also, as far as gaining weight before surgery... I actually fluctuated (2lbs up and down) in loss and gain. My insurance didn't seem to make it a big deal at all.

Hello everyone, I had my Roux-en-Y surgery on June 26, 2017 and since then I've had extremely bad left-sided pain first it was attaining to my back and then to my ribs and him and now he seems to have gone from the camera incision site to my bellybutton and it feels like something is ripping and pulling inside. I've gone to the ER in within the past couple of days and after a CT and bloodwork they have said that everything is fine. They prescribed gabapentin for me but it is not helping. I was wondering if anyone else has experience this and if anyone could offer advice on how to fix this problem? I have also tried heating pad and pain medicine . But nothing has helped.
The Bariatric Center for Excellence at MU Columbia accepts those forms of insurance. Amazing staff, very innovations have come out of that office over the years that are widely used now.

Dr Norbert Richardson did my surgery at MU in Columbia. He has since moved to the St Louis area. He is excellent!

Hello
I was wondering if any one can help me. I had Lap Bad Surgery done in 2009, at this time I had just regular medicaid. I was at a poing when I could not have my lap band adjusted any more. I lapsed in appointments. I now need to have my lap band revisited but cannot find a doctor that accepts meridian. I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thank you.
