Topic: RE: New To OH
Hi Amanda! I'm Laura. My dr is also Dr. Jones. I have finished my six month diet program with Dr Gomez, too. Anyhow, I have been back and forth trying to decide between rny and lap band. Have you had any problems? Was your surgery lap or open? How long did you stay in the hospital and how long were you off work?? Thank you so much for any information! Laura

Praying for you and your family Peggy. Putting our problems in God's hands is the best we can do.

the something that I can do.

Topic: RE: DS performed by Dr. Inman?
I love Dr Inman, she did my RNY. If my insurance would have paid I would have had to DS, but I am very happy so far with my RNY.

Topic: RE: First post! First appt tonight at St. V's
I am going for my seminar tomorrow morning @ St. V's. My appointment is with Dr. Diaz. I have my psych consult at 9:30 in the morning and then the seminar is @ 11. I am at peace with it, but to be brutally honest, nervous as heck.
Topic: DS performed by Dr. Inman?
I am going to be setting up a date with Dr. Inman for DS. If anyone has personal experience with this surgeon, and this surgery all advice and info would be a life saver!!!

If I am recalling correctly, and it may be different, I had Dr. Huse. He cover the procedures and exactly what they will be doing with our insides, cover the risk that is involved, etc. I have to say it scared me, but not to to the point that I back out, because the RNY has saved and gave me a life back.
I have also had a revision and between the 2 surgeries I have lost 160 lbs and am doing things that I never thought I would do. I would still like to lose another 70 to 100 lbs, not sure that is going to happen. Would like to get the 200 mark, but if I don't I don't, I have a wonderful life.

Topic: Prayers Please
I havent been posting to much lately, have had alot going on. Would like to ask everyone to pray for my daughter and family, they are going through some rough times, and I cannot step in and take care of the issues, so I am turning them over to God. He knows what he has in store for them.
I would also like for everyone to keep me in your prayers, I go in on 8/9/10 to have surgery on my left foot. They are removing a large heel spur. It has become so painful that I have trouble walking sometimes, with out the pain meds and the boot there would be very little walking. That is not me, I am on hooked on exercising and love to walk our puppies.
I will be completely off that foot the first 3 weeks (I will be going crazy), then next 3 weeks partical pressure, and the next 3 weeks full pressure, all this time I will be wearing my fashion accessories of the boot. LOL.
Thanks to everyone
Hugs

I had my meeting with Dr. Inman a few months ago, basically it will consist of a nutritionist coming in and speaking, then the insurance gal will educate everyone on what will be needed to get approval etc..., after that the Surgeon will come in and go over all the procedures in detail, and give you time to ask questions.
Then you can have a one on one w/ Surgeon, if you choose. But the one on one is considered a consultation, and is billed to the insurance for like $150 I think, So just be aware of that. Oh, and we were there for like 5 hours if I recall correctly...

Hi! I'm a 28 year old mom to a great little boy and I'm posting on here because I have my first meeting with my (hopefully) surgeon tonight and have no idea what to expect. It sounds like the first part of the meeting is a group deal, no? then we can choose to meet with Dr. Cacucci if we choose. What is the group meeting like ? What should we expect? Any advice?
