 Thanks I will let you know tommorrow. Earlier today his assistant called me and we went through some standard questions and she was so nice. I think she knew I was really scared. She didnt rush me or anything of that sort. I appreciate her patience. Now I feel more at ease.

Topic: dr. pomp
Has anyone had consulation/surgery with Dr. Pomp. I am anxious and very nervous. Tommorrow I will be going to meet with him for initial consultation. I know its just a consult but I am terrifed and the fear of getting rejected.. I don't know why but that is how I feel. Anyone who has meet with him please feel free to respond. Or anyone else for that matter. I am on pins and needles. I never do well in Dr's Office!

Topic: New Support Group Info - Suffolk County
Hey everyone - My name is Kelly and I am trying to get a new support group started in Suffolk County - Patchogue Medford and surrounding area.  I know another local supprt group?? I think LIPO and SCALE are both great groups and I am not looking to take away from that.  What I plan on doing is starting a kid friendly support group that would meet either during the week during the day or on a weekend where you can bring your kids - kind of like a playgroup/support meeting.  Of course we would be there primarily for bariatric support but if your kids need you - go help them and rejoin us when you can.  My biggest problem getting to support group meetings is my kids.  So why not include them, and maybe we can change not only ourselves but give our children a healthier lifestyle.  I am totally open to all suggestions and even ideas on times and schedules.  If your interested please let me know.  I also started a group page on here -WOW (Wee Ones Welcome) Bariatric Support Group.  I look foward to hearing from you.

Kelly

Topic: RE: Iv been gone for a min.

Hi tubb: I haven't posted myself on here for quite a while but I do try and read it when I get the chance! I am just past 2 years RNY and I noticed that you had Dr. Cunningham like myself.  Wasn't he the best? I miss him.  DO you do any follow ups at the center at all?  I have Dr. Simon now who I also like alot.  I am finding it most challenging to keep off what weight I have lost (just over 200#) but still not at my goal - Ineed another 70-75# to be there for me.
  I am glad to read you are losing weight again but what an awesome weight loss you had! If you have any hints to pass on I certainly am open for them!
I have found I can eat sweets and not really dump or just dump with sweating for a few short minutes so unfortunately, I have eaten chocolate, hard candies, taffy and some cookies and now I find I crve them everyday so I am just stopping all together and hopefully will not go back to them.  Its hard sortof like withdrawal when I quit smoking!!!
Anyway hello to you and best of luck in keeping off your weight.  My brother was a teacher in Solvay ! Take care  Mary

Topic: RE: question about protien shakes
i have found i do not like the pre-made protein shakes, so i buy the powder and make my own. i have to take so many vitamins now that i take all the multivitamins in the morning and then spread the others out throughout the day

Topic: question about protien shakes
Doctors have told me unjury and bariatric fusion are the best....also pricey lol...does anyone know a good site to get these is bulk at a better price. 

or does anyone know other shakes that are comparable, that are good, and are a little less expensive?   just curious.  i want to make sure i am getting the best product even if it costs more, just wondered what else people use.

and for vitamins same question?  will i be taking the same vitamin many times a day.  or many different vitamins throughout the day?
