Thanks to you all for the feedback.  Dr. Cirangle is definitely a well-known and respected doctor so all the roadblocks to see him were odd to her.  She has been procrastinating the last several months out of fear of seeing him because apparently (I later learned) that when she was telling him like a year ago that she thought something was wrong, he was nasty telling her she was "wrong" and even calling her a "failure."  Very odd and totally not cool.  So she had been afraid to call his office back but her symptoms got worse. 

He is now in like four offices each week, including an office in Hawaii so it's a lot trickier to see him now than it was 5 years ago.

She did get brave and went to the office to get an appointment and that finally worked. Nothing has been done yet but hopefully it will soon.

Thanks again.

Hurray! Congrats, Christy. It will change your life forever!!!!

I also have care first, did you ever find a surgeon that covered the surgery please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you!

Surgery date is June 4th :)

It's been long time since I was on this site, hope all is well, I am going to scan thru messages and see who all is still here...

I have a few questions...I am a post rou-n -y gastric bypass patient, 5 years out.  I lost 80 lbs and have gained back 40.  Nothing I do seems to help me get back on track, by the way I am 53 years young, my diabetes is completely controlled and that is what I am most happy with.  However, I am now anemic and tired all the time, I take all my vitamins and iron on a schedule, but am still feeling this way...now to my questions?

Has anyone ever tried Omnitrition and used their hCG drops for weight loss after being post op from gastric by pass?  If so, did it work for you? 

Would love to hear from any of you, please email me at sunnydots@aol.com

Hi SoCal people, I have a couple of suggestions for our planned meet up and would like some feedback. Do you want to go back to the Santa Monica pier? Ports of Call in San Pedro? Meet up at Miss Bobbie's low carb shop in Tustin and then go shopping in the shops nearby then head to a nearby beach? Or, meet up at a Starbucks in the Newport Beach area then go hang out at the beach? Or, we can skip the beach area altogether and meet up at a Starbucks in the IE, go shopping at Ontario Mills, and maybe go ice skating?

Let me know what you think. I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone. Oh, for those who want to make a full day of it, we can have dinner somewhere before we head for home.
