Hello everyone...my name is Sharon and I have been on the board now for a few months reading all your supportive posts, but have yet to interduce myself. I started this journey a couple of years ago, wanting help but not really knowing where to get it. To make a long story short, I had my grastic bypass on Sept 18th and can't believe how smooth things have went!! Dr Rodriguez did my surgury at Deconess, and he is really great. I guess I am still in a little shock, but I have had no problems at all except getting in all those fluids AND protien. Seems like everyone does! Well I am not a computer wiz, even though I work on one all day, but I hope to be included in all this love and support you all share. I know I will need you all. Please include me in your prayers and I will do the same for you. BTW...Jane , Amy and Mimi are my husbands cousins, so I know they will be there for me. I have a lot of weight to lose to catch up with them!! Hope this wasn't to long, but I wanted to say Hi to everyone. Sharon

Hey Sharon, Welcome to the board now that you've come out of hiding;) I have not had surgery yet but am hoping to have it before the end of the year. The people on here are quite wonderful and I am sure you will get lots of support. I'm glad to hear that you have done so well with your surgery....those are things us pre-op'ers like to hear as we look down the road to that day when we are finally on the loser's bench. Thanks for sharing your story and I hope to hear more from you. I pray that God keeps you strong as you continue on your journey and that the road continues to be smooth and without complications. We know that your smooth journey thus far is a testament to Our Lord's Glory and I praise Him in Jesus' name. Amen. Take care, Kellie

Hi Kellie, It is nice to meet you. Thank you for your prayer. God has brought me through a lot of stuff in my life, and I need Him more than ever right now, Not only in what I am going through with this new life, but with other aspects also...Please keep them going! Sharon

HEY SHARON, I had my surgery on 8/27 and I too have been doing really well. Getting in fluids does get easier as time goes on I am 4 weeks out and am able to do it. I have been on this site for about a year reading but didn't join until recently. I feel that this is a good outlet for us to be able to talk about our journey. Good Luck and keep doing well.

Hi Dannyell, I am happy to meet you...I agree, even though I may have so much support here at home, it is nice to talk to people who are walking on the same path as you are and may be a little farther down the road, and can stop you from making a mistake before it happens. I hope we can talk again soon! Sharon

Hello Sharon, I had my surgery on 9/19/06, so we're bari-buddies! I remember when I had my surgery, it was so excited and nerve racking all the same. I too had difficulties getting my protein in at first, but it does get better eventually. I always kept a bottle of water in my hand taking sips every minute or so. It really helped to get those fluids in. You'll do fine and before you know it, you'll be a year out too.

And you'll be giving expert advice to the lurkers that are seeking information. By the way, having Jane, Mimi, Sarah, and Amy on your side is probably the best support group anyone could have!

Take care-- Dee

Hi Dee, Wow it is really great to meet you!!! I guess it feels pretty good to have the one year anniversary under your belt! Yeah it is great to have all my family support. They are a great group of girls. We just lost my uncle Bud and it was a hugh hit to the family, but those girls are amazing woman and have been doing so good! I lucked out when I got married..no in law horror stories here!! Will talk again I hope! Sharon

Well welcome my dear!!!! So good to hear from you. Stay off the scale for a little while if you can and take your time.

I will be 2 years out on Oct 17. The time flies by. Journal everything. The wow moments are wonderful and then when you are two years out and having a rough few weeks its great to go back and remember those things. And most of all take a picture each month. You will be amazed. I had my surgery in Oct and by Christmas I had lost 50lbs.....so.....that gives you some idea what you are looking at. Call anytime. Love and Prayers Janie

ON 10/17/05 I LANDED ON OZ NEVER GOING BACK UP IN THE DAMN
TORNADO AGAIN. BEWARE OF THE WITCHES!
