Does anyone even come here?

Wow, it's like a ghost town on this board. Does anyone even check it out anymore? I would love to hear from people that have recently had surgery or are planning to. It is so hard to find info about the drs. (specially in the Fox Valley area) on OH. Was hoping more people would be posting.

Guess maybe all the surgeries have gone well and they are all out living healthy lives?!?!?!! Hope so!

hi i have been comming to this site for about a month now and agree with you it seems like no one comes here. i hope to have my sugery in november by dr chue  in milwaukee. so far i have been reading up on everything i can so i can be prepared as much as i can when i have my surgery.

glad to see you here! I've heard good things on this site about Dr. Choua. I have already started the process with Midwest Bariatrics in Neenah, so I am going to stick with them. I had thought about going to Milw to Dr. Choua, but it is a further drive and want to be nearer to support groups afterwards. Good luck with getting the sugery in November! Keep in touch!

are you attending the support group meeting tonite at amc at 6pm I will be there and I love midwest they did mine as well as removed my gallbladder and now march 8th they are proforming the removal of my loose skin they are the best email me at [email protected] and let me know if you will be at the meeting

Hi Dawne! I won't be there tonight, but am going to the Saturday meeting in Neenah and possibly next weeks meeting at AMC. Have fun!

Hi Jilli!

Omro is my hometown! 

I can tell you which doctor to AVOID... Kemmerling in Green Bay. You may have seen his ads on TV... sounds like an extra from the movie "Fargo?"  I had the worst experience of my life with him. My botched lapband surgery almost killed me, actually.

If you have any questions or if I can help you with anything, please PM me.

I had 2 friends that went to him and they both almost died since another dr had redo all his mistakes becase he does not lesson to when you say your in pain both him and his staff tell you that it is all up in your head, anyone of us on this here can do the type of surgery he does and w can do better so if you want to live and have it done right go to MWB in neeanh

Hi Nicci

I am so glad you did not die, email me at [email protected] so we can chat

thanks

Hi Jilli,

I agree that this board is pretty quiet.

I had Dr Kemmerling revise my VBG to RNY recently and couldn't be happier with him, or his staff so far.

Good luck to you :)

I love Dr Chua he did my rny July 28, 2009, hernia repair June 2010 and now he is taking out my gallbladder this Thursday Oct 14th my gallbladder is disease so needs to come out. One thing I can say he is thorough on finding out the problem. Several test which show nothing finally the last test show that my gallbladder was disease. Also blood work show my liver enzymes were high which was a red flag something was wrong. Same when I had my hernia never show up on the ct scan but when my pancreas enzymes were 4 times higher than normal it was a big red flag to Dr Chua so he admitted me and went in to explore and found my intensines on the other side of my body. Which was the hernia.
