Topic: RE: Docs in west ga?

This really saddens me! I used Dr. Freeman July 27, 2006. I'm like you but I live in Atlanta and I know a few here. But I was alwasy told that some doctors do not like taking on pat's of other doctors. Just make sure that you have all of your surg. papers to take with you when you find someone that will take you.

Topic: RE: What a LIFE!

WOW! I can not hardly beleive it, but YES it is TRUE. In just 3 days I will be 5 years post opp. I'm so much happier than I was 5 years ago. This has been a WONDERFUL JOURNEY and I would not change anything at all. I was truly blesses 5 years ago when my WONDERFUL surgeron DR. BRYON FREEMAN preformed my GASTRIC BYPASS. I am today 180 to 185 pounds and I'm able to do a lot of different things that I was unable to do really not so long ago. So I want to say if you follow your DOCTORS orders it can be done. Remember we have been given a WONDERFUL TOOL so use it WELL.

WOW! Linda, You have done so well. I know that your SUCCESS and your answers to my question will help so many other.

As far as being cooler it is nice in the summer months. But it is the WINTER months that I have a problem with. I run extra heat in a room where honey is not at so I do not burn him out.

Thanks,
Jeannie

Topic: RE: QUESTION'S

1. WHAT HAS OBESITY HELP MEANT TO YOU?

This has been a place to where I'm able to come and have support and get answers to things that I have. Even just to be able to talk about how I might feel on any given day.

2. HAVE YOU HAD ANY THOUGHTS OF WISHING YOU HAD NOT HAD ANY TYPE OF WLS? AND WHY?

At first I did, but as my weight started coming off and I started feeling like new. I became a new person but it took a few months for me to get my engery back.

3. HAS YOUR SURGERON BEEN HELPFUL IN HELPING YOU? ( I mean as far has you knowing that if you have any questions or need help because you have done something that you do not understand.)

YES! my surgeron has been wonderful, I have not been able to see him in a few years but I still fax my labs over to him and if I have questions I know that he and the staff are there to HELP.

4. HOW MUCH AS YOUR LIFE CHANGED SINCE YOUR SURGERY? ( this is only if you have had surgery.)

My life has really changed! Before my surgery I was unable to move or do a lot of things. It took a couple of months but once the weight started coming off and I was feeling better. I was finally able to enjoy my life.

I have some QUESTIONS?

1. WHAT HAS OBESITY HELP MEANT TO YOU?

2. HAVE YOU HAD ANY THOUGHTS OF WISHING YOU HAD NOT HAD ANY TYPE OF WLS? AND WHY?

3. HAS YOUR SURGERON BEEN HELPFUL IN HELPING YOU? ( I mean as far has you knowing that if you have any questions or need help because you have done something that you do not understand.)

4. HOW MUCH AS YOUR LIFE CHANGED SINCE YOUR SURGERY? ( this is only if you have had surgery.)

The reason I ask these questions is because since my surgery 4 years ago my life has really changed and I love all the things that I'm able to do today. I'm finally able to do all the things that I could only dream about doing, WALKING, RUNING, RIDING A BIKE, REALLY ENJOY BEING OUTSIDE IN THE SUN. See before my surgery I was not able to handle much HEAT and today knowing that it can be HOT at times I really enjoy the outside.

I hope that these questions along with some of the answers that will be posted will help each and everyone. THANKS!
