From reading your messages I could see your frustration on fills.  I wanted the lap band way back when just because I didn't like the idea of not getting the right nutrients or dumping.   But after reading all the things you have to do with the band....maybe the RNY wasn't bad for me.  I don't think I would have had the patience you did to keep at finding the answers....I would have given up a while ago.  I am glad you found the sweet spot.  Its good to be there and finally feel the tool is working for you!  Happy exercising!

Elissa, I have to go back and see Dr. Koch next month then he said we will get the ball rolling. You know all the hoops we have to jump thru. I am hoping for June.  I am going out on Early retirement then. I will be working part time at the same job and getting my pension. See you lighter, Joanne

Maureen, Best of luck with your surgery. We look forward to seeing you on " the loser's bench " , where there is always room for one more. See you lighter. Joanne

Please come to the DS board - the list of DS Revision surgeons is very short.  The closest one to us is Dr. Greenbaum in Willingboro, NJ.  He has an excellent reputation as a DS Revision surgeon and has been the go-to man for several of our RNY-to-DS revisions.

Feel free to ask me anything about the DS.  There aren't many of us in DE!

Just checking in today to see what's up in my state!

I've been busy, but today I made time and started a Couch to 5K training program.  There's a 5K run I want to do in July, and knowing me, I won't be near ready unless I start training NOW.  And I hate running!  LOL - what was I thinking?!

Oh well.  It's one for the Bucket List, anyway.
