Dear Tracy, My name is Julie Smith from Nisswa. I was looking through the peer section and ran across your update. Congratulations on your weight loss!! It must feel so cool to be able to fit into those smaller clothes. I'm scheduled to have my lap RNY on May 3rd and I'm having it in Crosby, of all places!! They just started in September and with all the skill those three surgeons have with laporoscopic surgery it was just a matter of time before they started lap RNY's.
It sounds to me like you could use some support. Are you going to a support group in St. Cloud? We are starting one in Crosby at the clinic on April 9th at 7:00PM and you're very welcome to come. I heard there is one now in Brainerd but I don't have a contact name yet. I could let you know if you wanted. I'm an OB nurse, I think we even may have met when you were having your children, and I KNOW I will need the support and probably even a counselor for therapy so I'm hoping you at least have a support group. Good Luck and again, Congrats...
