Topic: RE: Florida friends... where are ya?
Hi, I'm from Pasco County, Hudson to be exact. I had my RNY 12/2004 at HCA bayonet Point. I had some complications and required an emergency surgery 5 days later. I almost died and it was a rough ride for several months but I have no regrets. I lost 138#. I recently regained 20# and am scared about it. I'm looking for a friend that I can talk to about diet and rules and just someone who understands how RNY changes your life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. My support group disbanded a few years ago and I really miss it. Maybe we could talk sometime.

good luck, I am just starting, I am worried bout my GP, saying it's a "medical necessity", for the surgery, I may have to see another GP, I used to go to Dr braun in carrolwood until I moved, I think they be more apt to go for it, maybe I'll call them and ask.
but one day at a time.
