Thanks for response. Sorry I didn't see it sooner. I did not see it under the original post but found it under recent post instead. Like I said before I do not post often so guess I dont really know what I am doing :-) I will get the hang of it once I post a little more often. I agree with you that Dr. Gluck is a very good surgeon! I drove 3 hours all the way across the state just to have him do my surgery! I was not sure what surgery I was going to have at that time,but I knew I wanted him to do the surgery after I met him :-) I enjoy this site and each of the forums, and I am sure I will get even more out of it now that I am posting.

hi Ronda
You have a very good surgeon there. I agree about the type of surgery you had doesnt matter. We all share the same goal. Welcome to the MI board and try to post often if you can.
congrats on your success!

Hi, my name is Ronda. I am also a "lurker". I am 45 years old. I have 3 children ages 25,21,and 17, as well as a wonderful husband of 22 years. I had the new WLS procedure called Gastric Plication on October 17th. So far I have lost around 70lbs. and am very happy with the whole process. I have found that on the main board that it has been best not to mention the type of surgery I have had
I am looking for support from other WLS patients, it does not matter what type of procedure you have had to me! We are all in the same boat headed towards the same destination of good health
I love coming to this site (I am on here several times a day every day now that the company I work for closed and I am currently unemployed)
Thank you to everyone who shares there journey! It means alot to all of us!

Mary,
when i worked in a roll forming/stamping plant I was an inprocess auditor, but i liked making the parts themselves. it was always cool to see the process from start to finish. but it was killer on the back for sure! just take it easy woman! and we will see you when you can.

Hi Susie!
I didnt think of the distance i would have to travel for my support group. There arent many open groups, not sure why. What you can do is come for a walk with me and my OH friends though. I can PM you and we can set up a day of the week or weekend and walk one of the malls. We usually rotate the metro area. We can talk out any issues we are having or just shop, cough cough or walk i mean!

You got me! Yes I was a "lurker" here on the lightweights board! lol
My name is Susan, you can call me Susie. I am a 45 year old, married and we have 5 adult sons and 3 beautiful grandbabies.
I had RNY done on 4/25/2012 and my surgery was done at DMC Harper.
I don't feel that I get any support from my surgeons office although I am only 4 weeks post op. Does anyone know of any WLS support groups that I would be able to attend although I had my surgery at DMC?
Thank you,
