Since I was a little girl, I can still remember hearing my mother say "I would have just one piece of bread". I have been on every thing from Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, the egg diet, the pickel diet, the hot dog diet, from a size 1 to 22w. I am 5'2"- 250lbs. This is causing me to be very depressed. I became disabled in 2004 after a wonderful career in the medical field - working in surgery for 20 yrs. This was a total shock to go to sleep for a shoulder scope and end up with a rotator-cuff tear. That ended my career. I have helped wiith the RUXY and the lap-band. I would never dream of having either from the results I witnessed. A dear friend told me about the mini-gastric bypass. I've been soo excited - it's hard to sleep.

Hi Lisa. I've been out of town so please forgive my delay in getting back with you. I am approx. 3 1/2 weeks post op. My biggest struggle is managing to get in all my medications/pills. I've had some "dumping" just trying to get them all down :(( yikes! But, I am happy that I have lost around 25 lbs. I have a long way to go, but off to a good start!
Hey! Sorry to not get back to you sooner. Thank you so much for the well wishes. Things are going pretty good with me. This cold I got last week is still hanging on though...so, that has been very annoying. But, other than that, I am down to 259 now, and feeling great. I have been going out for walks with my daughter.
I am VERY sick of any and all electrolyte balancing drinks...Very sick of their sickening sweetness...So, it has been a challenge for me to stay hydrated.
Talk with you soon.
How are you? Have you been keeping up with the posts?

Hi Lisa, Have you had the surgery? I am just filling out the packet and still looking for contacts. It's been an ordeal getting everything together but I'm almost done. What's your take on all of this now that you've come this far? Wendy pvtworld@mtaonline.net
Hey Lisa,
Thanks for checking in on me. Yeah I am doing pretty great, My package is all done, except for the Dr's letter, and the Psych eval. Both are set up for this week. Hope you are doing good!
Hi Lisa,
Did you get my contact letter ok? Not sure exactly what you mean in your note to me regarding "using my card" Can you drop me a quick note to let me know what you meant please?
