Dr Wegner- Memphis?

Anyone have surgery by Dr Wegner? St. Francis?

I'm scheduled for surgery 12/19/11, but I haven't heard anything myself.  I would love to know if anyone knows anything about him, etc. also.....

When did you get your date and what type of surgery are u having?

I'm having the Vertical Sleeve. 

I got my surgery date on October 24, 2011.  I work in the school system, so I was hoping for a date when I was off during our CHRISTmas break.  Fortunately for me, I got it. 

I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

What steps have you taken so far towards the process for WLS?

Dr. Wegner did my Verticle Sleeve 3-28-11.  He's a great surgeon and very compasionate.  My starting weight was 457lbs and this morning I'm @ 321lbs.

Thanks! That's really good to know.  How long did you stay in the hospital?

That is awesome!!!! Great Job
How are you doing?

I stayed in the hospital 2 days

Hey, how long were you sore after your surgery?  I had my surgery Monday, and I'm sooooo sore.  Lots of pain on my right side and some in my back.

I was sore for @ least a month.  I didn't get to feeling 100% until about 2 months out.
