I hope your doing well. If you are still looking for a support group I have found one at Centegra in McHenry just call 815-344-5000 and they should be able to help you.Its on the last Saturday of the month. I too have been post-op from Dr. Hoeltgen 2 years 3 months I was the first pt (2-27-02). I was hoping by now they would have something in place to help us, but like you I researched before the surgery so a lot of my questions I have found by myself and some things I have even shared with the Drs office and hospital. I hope this can help you. And I hope to see you at one of the meetings. In Gods Love Take Care, Patty

Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)… RNY 10/31/03 – down 86 pounds!!! Good luck!
