Topic: RE: Where do you find someone?!?
I met my hubby on MySpace (when it was still worth going to) back in 2005. It didn't turn in to a relationship until the middle of 2007. We got married last March.

Topic: RE: DS Surgeon in SW Florida?
I was going to do Mexico as well but I didn't have the $$ and I couldn't get approved for a loan because I have student loans (not in default.) My credit was fine otherwise but because I have three degree's worth of student loans, I was turned down. Then my insurance changed and now I will most likely get the surgery covered and I have decided on Mt. Sinai in NYC.. I am already in the process of getting all the pre-op testing done that Dr. Herron wants and I saw my PCP today who is totally on board with this. I have decided to go to Mt. Sinai for many reasons. I have a friend in the area that I can stay with making this a less expensive option. I can stay in the area as long as I want to whereas if I did it in Georgia, or any other state, I would have to pay for hotel and that would mean I would have to leave much sooner than I'd prefer. This way I have someone to keep an eye out on me and I have the option of returning to the surgeon if there are any complications, which I really don't anticipate. But you never know...

there are no ds surgeons in Fl. You can travel to Atlanta, The ds doctor in Miami went to NY. I went to Mexico, dsfacts.com has a list of vetted surgeons. I would ONLY go to a vetted surgeon.
Topic: RE: New to Jax... ??? about schleratherapy
I have no experience with it, just heard that it didn't work. Have you had some tests to determine if that is a malfunction of your stoma and rny? That would be a starting place.
Topic: RE: How did you get over your pre-surgery fears?
I had trust in my surgeon. I focused on that and the fact that I was doing this for my health and I would die early if I didn't do it.
