Topic: RE: UPDATE: 2 surgeries and a lot of pain
Wow! What in the world happened to you friend? What's the prognosis? How long do you anticipate that kind of treatment? (PTN? TNP? PTN? LOL! It confuses me!) Are you able to eat regular food?
Crummy deal for you! ..... Having drawn a short straw myself with complicaitons from a revision, I totally feel for you!!! Often it's important to get 2nd or even 3rd opinions if your surgery expectations have gone south.
Take care!!!

Joyce,
Wow you are having complications? I know you had issues losing too much weight but at a support meeting you said how great you were doing just low iron. Are you still having iron issues? I know that was an issue for you when you wanted to get some plastic surgery. Hope that has improved. Did you end up getting infusions?
I hope you get your issues resolved, I know you are wanted to get plastics done. I am thinking about getting a body lift soon. I need to email you to get some details on that.
Take care,
Rose

Topic: what is the topic for the support group
I'm a newbie and just waiting for the insurance to ok the surgery. I haven't went to any support groups because I live far but realize I need them. Could someone tell me what the meeting is on tonight. Me and my husband will be getting the band soon I hope. We live in Florence and he works in Tucson. We had our weigh-ins in the Banner Health in Mesa. Thank you

Topic: RE: It's almost my turn!!
Thanks for all the well wishes!
I was at work when I got the call and I was so excited/nervous I had to shut my office door for about 5mins because I was shaking so badly and grinning from ear to ear LOL!
