Hi Jay,
This isn't the most active board but I check in to see if anybody new has shown up every once in a while. I am a soon to be sergeant in the Houston PD. I had my surgery on 9/29/05. I have lost 55 lbs so far. I have only told a couple of people at work that I had the surgery. I get comments daily about how much weight I have lost. Its nice but I will be glad when I get my new assignment where no one will know how much weight I've lost. Hopefully the rest of the loss will be slow enough so that it won't be such a big deal. I do feel much better now and I am loving life. Take care and be careful!

Hi Jay,
Congrats on the surgery. I had mine on 10/10 and I'm down 53 pounds. I'm a dispatcher for the Keyport PD in NJ and planning on becoming a police officer when I reach my goal weight. The next test date is in October '06, so I have enough time to get there. One of the officers I work with also had wls last year and he is doing incredibly well. I'm so glad I did this. Although going out tonight for a girls night out with the women of my department was a little difficult. I wanted to eat everything in sight lol.
Good luck to you.

Hi everyone. I had my GBS on Dec.7th. I feel a lot better than I thought I would. I am a Sgt. with NYPD & I thought this would be a good place to vent & deal with the inevitible job issues. Two other cops in my command have had GBS as well. Hope the lame doughnut jokes will stop. Good luck to everyone. Happy Holidays.

Hey John,
I just stumbled across this page by accident today and saw your post. I am a police officer in Houston, HPD and my brother is also an HPD officer and he lives in Katy too. And....his name is John. Small world! I guess I am not the only officer in town who has had surgery. I am barely one month out and have been having big problems with diarhea. I have been in the hospital for the last two weeks and have had every test in the book. They are all baffled 
. Hopefully it will get better soon. I am curious if you told the people you work with that you had the surgery. I have only told a handful of my closest friends. How was it going back to work? I am so weak from being sick for so long that I cannot imagine going back right now. I am holding on and keeping faith that God will see me through this and heal me soon. Take care and be safe!

Hi Marilyn. I am an officer in New jersey, and just shy of 3 weeks post-op. I returned to work yesterday, 19 days after RNY. I am doing quite well, and my recovery (so far) seems quite easy.
I have been keeping up with my profile, and if you would like to view it, please do, as I have lots of info in it.
PS: Of course EVERYONE stares, and as I have returned to work about 28 pounds lighter already, I even get positive comments!

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply, I was wondering about this because my daughter has friends that are interested in this proceedure. They were not sure of what was in store after, so I asked the question.lol
I am glad your friend is doing well, and I hope you will be getting yours soon. Keep safe out there,
Marilyn

Hi,
I wanted to say Hello, and would like friends to talk with. My Daughter is an officer, and is trying for State.
How have you dealt with job and recoup from surgery?
Thanks, Marilyn

Hey dear, definitely there is a site which sells picture on cops' life. The site is www.copshots.com. They have loads of pics related to cops and their lifestyle. Visit this site and tell me how was your new experience. Take care
