Hey B.J.
I am new to DE..well kind of. We have been at Dover for about 3 months now. I am very tired of the cold. We just came from Texas. Had my RNY in 2008. I am a walker and I just cant bring myself to go and walk in this cold. If you have a WII the WII fit and WII fit+ are both really good exercise. I do them when my body allows me too. I have bad back and hip problems. I was wondering how you were tested for your Fibromyalgia? Sometimes I think that is more what I have! Doctor gave me script for Celebrex but it upsets my stomach as I have Ulcers. Anyway hope this helps. Michelle
I hope this helps.
I find that on the RNY board I don't get responses to my comments. I'm wondering why.
I am bundled up like the Michelin Tire Man and still freezing.
What are you guys doing for exercise these days? I can't afford a gym membership . . . and there's no way I'm going to try to brave the outdoors for walking right now. Can you recommend any good DVD's or tv shows that I can exercise along to? I'm a novice *****ally can't overexert myself without paying the price a day later (due to my fibromyalgia).
But I started the year off with a commitment to get back on the horse, so to speak, when my weight gain reached 191 on Jan. 1st (my highest since RNY in summer of 2004). This morning I was back down to 186 and I want to keep this momentum going.
Hope you all are staying warm and behaving yourselves!

I think a lot of us go to the Christiana Institute of Advanced Surgery, or otherwise known as CHRIAS. There are 3 surgeons there who do the WLS and although Dr. Wynn did my surgery on September 9th of 09 I would highly reccomend Dr. Peters or Dr. Irgau as well. The entire staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
They are located in the Apex building in Newark, DE. I know that's a bit of a drive for you, but I think it would be worth the trip. I don't have the phone number ofr the office on me at the moment, but if you want it just send me a private message and I will be happy to provide it.
Hope ou are settling in well at Dover and if you ever need anything don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,
Kris
Good Morning,
I was wondering how long ago you had your surgery? I had mine 2 1/2 years ago. It was done in Texas. We just moved to Dover a few months ago. You are so lucky to have a doctor tha is following up with your abdominal pain. My doctor in Texas who is supposed to be one of the best in the country, pretty much blew off my pain. I asked about exploritory surgery and he just wanted nothing to do with it. I went to three different doctors and no one could figure it out, and again I felt like I was just being passed from one doc to the next. Finally a Gastro doctor put me on Bentyl, and that helps some what. I am going to need to get set up with a WLS doctor here soon. Sounds like your doctor would be a good one. Where is he located? We are on Dover AFB and they dont have one here. Anyway, hope your pain gets better and they figure out what is going on! Have a great day! Michelle
