Topic: RE: Surgeon Recommendation
Thanks for both of your responses! I very much appreciate it.  I was looking over my insurance and it turns out that Dr. Strickland is in my network for approved surgeons.  I believe I will be choosing him as my surgeon.  In the end, it will be more convenient for me being closer by.

Thanks again!

I only commented on Dr. Byrne because she asked about him.  I can certaninly understand not wanting to drive from Cola. to Chas. every 6 weeks.

I used Dr. Strickland with Riverside Surgical Group at Lexington Medical Center in Columbia. They have received their 2nd center of excel lance award. MUSC is a good facility but you have to think of driving to Charleston to get your fills.

I have to drive 2 hours to get my fill. My insurance would not pay for MUSC because they were not the top facility in SC.

Dr. Byrne did my best friends surgery, so you can't go wrong with him either. I just know from my experience, having to drive every 6 weeks for a fill gets old real quick.

Dr. Strickland is AWESOME!!!

Dr. Byrne preformed my gastric bypass.  He is a very good doctor.  At times his bedside manner is a little lacking.  That doesn't really bother me.  He is to the point.

The staff at MUSC is outstanding. 

Good luck to you.  I don't believe that choosing Dr. Byrne would be a bad choice at all.  You will love him and his accent.

Topic: I just ran my THIRD marathon

ok-not to brag but this is the place to say "I cannot believe"....but I did it! I ran the Delaware marathon this morning in Wilmington, my 3rd one, and my best time yet (4 hours 29 minutes).

I am 30 months out, have made some mistakes with my post-op life, gained some weight since being at goal...but never felt better! I will continue to work towards goal...but feel GREAT!!!

And it all started July 4th, 2007 when I decided to take up running-bought some sneakers and ran 7/10ths of a mile....and today I just finished running 26 miles. Its possible, its hard, but attainable-whatever your goal

And Dr Bour and staff are AWESOME. They are always there for you. I had to walk into my 2 yr appt and admit I had fallen off the wagon so to speak...and they helped me without placing blame or making me feel like an idiot

Thank you for letting me brag. Sometimes in life ya just gotta say yayyyyy me

Topic: RE: OT:Missing Person and prayers needed
Tracy,
  I am sorry for your loss.  You and your family will be in my prayers.  I can't imagine your pain.  I have 3 sisters who have Harley's.  I worry about them all the time.  I hope they find the person who did that.  Again I am so sorry for your loss.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless!
