Hi Hollie,
I have seen her before and she was nice.  Did she support you having the surgery and has she been supportive after?  I may switch to her.  Right now I see Dr. Mehta and he has not been very supportive of me trying to get plastics done.

Might as well add my two cents--pre surgery--just completed my 6 months pre-approval diet and had my psych eleval last week, waiting for my PCP to send my records to the surgeon ( he decided to go on vacation the day after my last appointment--hope his office staff follows through !!) I live in Saginaw but will have my surgery at Hurley in Flint ( we have a center here but for some reason my PCP will only refer to Hurley). I'm probably one of the oldest people you will meet waiting for approval to have the surgery--67 next month ! Married 45 years, 2 kids, 2 grandsons and I just want to live what ever is left of my life healthy. Hope to make some friends here on the Michigan board !!

Topic: Monday Coffee Talk, What are you having this Morning?
Good Morning Everyone,

Beautiful start to the week in the Detroit area today.  Its sunny here. How is it where you are?  I am having OJ and fruit2o this morning.  I know, I need to get some protein in somewhere.  I am thinking some egg drop soup.  Which is odd for breakfast, but I have a craving for it.

What are you having this morning?  or had...

wow susan that stinks! who wouldve known you were allergic to stitches!  I have heard obstructions and gall bladder problems are not uncommon for us rny'rs.  I hope your road to recovery is speedy.  did you go back to barix for your surgeries to fix the complications?

 hi, I had RNY 10/2008.  I lost about 100 lbs but never got down to my goal weight.     I have been having stomach pain since end of Feb.   My PCP thought that i had gallbladder issues but it was a small bowel obstruction.   i had surgery for that on 5/1 then surgery last wed for complications - i was allergic to the suture that he used.   Now I can finally eat and now I need to get better eating habits again so I can get my health back.

I am thru UofM and I am pretty sure I am getting RNY.  The UofM only has 3 meetings per month and I can't make any of them this month.  The first one is while I am at work, the second one I have my card club and a wedding, and the third one my daugher has her dance recital.  So I am feeling left out this month.  Next month should be better...I hope.  Thanks for the welcom.

Hi Jacque!  There are a bunch of us that live in Ypsi and AA so support should be easy to find.  Are you going thru Barix or UofM?  I didnt see what surgery you decided on? My hubby is also MO, but I cannot convince him to get the surgery. Thats a decision that can only be made when one is truly ready. Congrats on your 12 lb loss so far. And welcome out of Lurkedom! We will try to help you with the surprises too.

Hi,
My name is Jacque and I live in Ypsilanti, MI
I am 46 years old
I have 4 kids ages 21, 17, 7, & 4
My hubby is mobidly obese also
I am having surgery in July (no date yet)
My current weight is 245 and I am 5'5" BMI=40.8
I have lost 12 pounds during my 6 month weight loss appointments
I am ready!! I gave up soda in October and I drink a protien shake every morning. I can't believe how hungry I am when I miss my protien shake. Which proves to me protien will help me feel full.
I am a lurker, but mostly because I am trying to gather as much info as I can before surgery so there are no surprises.
