Hi, folks;

Just wanted to let everyone know how our get-together went on Saturday afternoon.  It was just three of us today, but that was a good start.  One of us is five years out, another only about 5 weeks, and then there was me at two-plus years post-op. 

We traded photos and talked about our journeys and just enjoyed a beautiful day next to the Truckee River. 

I hope we can make this at least a monthly get-together, and anyone who wants to join us is very welcome.  Next time, I think we need to try to find an indoor site, because I don't think the weather is going to be so nice in November! 

Anyone who wants to contact me please do so via OH or at my email of [email protected]. 

See ya!  

Is the WLS StomaphyX procedure right for you? Bariatric Surgeon, Dr. Eric Schlesinger, will be hosting a special ObesityHelp Tele-conference in which he will answer your questions.  Expertise and insight from WLS professionals is your first step to better health.  Be sure to join Dr. Schlesinger and OH Members on October 18^th to learn more about the StomaphyX.  A Note from Dr. Schlesinger: StomaphyX  Tele-conference!

On Thursday, October 18th at 6 PM, (Pacific Standard Time) we will have the opportunity to discuss the Stomaphyx procedure. It is an exciting new approach to treat two common causes of weight regain after RNY. If you have had an RNY and your weight loss has stalled short of your goal or if you have experienced a weight gain after initial success, then the StomaphyX might be the procedure for you!  Without any incisions, this innovative tool allows your surgeon to decrease the diameter of your pouch’s outflow tract (stoma) and “tighten up” your pouch. Like all weight loss surgery, this procedure depends on your commitment and compliance. This is an open forum, so have your questions ready. Knowledge is power. It is my hope that our discussion will enlighten and inform you. It is my goal to replace rumors and confusion with insight and truth. Everyone deserves a second chance!
