Looking for friends with surgery date of 10-12-04!

I am new to the Message Board. This is my first day! It has been wonderful reading the e-mails and responses. I have even sent a reply or two! Would like to hear from you, especially if you had surgery on 10-12-04. Let me know how you are doing and any tips you may have! I had my surgery on 10-12 and started this exciting new life! I had a RNY and all went well. Only spent 1 night in the hospital. I will be leaving in a few minutes to go to my first post op visit with my surgeon. He was great. Looking forward to hearing from you! Christine Johnson York, SC Surg date: 10-12-04 (RNY)

I live in York - no way! Small world! I am having surgery next week. Well, I hope you are doing well - let me know how your appt went! Feel free to email me anytime! I can't wait to be a loser! Jolene

Hi Christine! I had surgery on 10/12 and I am doing well. I ended up getting a blood clot in my left leg, so I didn't get home from the hospital until Monday 10/18. I feel tired...do you? Other than that, and a sore leg, I feel pretty great. My follow-up isn't until next Tuesday. Janelle R., Mosinee, WI

Hi, I had surgery on 10/12 also at the Bariatric Treatment Center in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I am doing great. I feel wonderful. According to my scale, I have lost almost 15 pounds already... I go for my follow up appointment tomorrow. Good Luck to you in your new life! Jen

Hello, I had my surgery on 10.12.04. They took out my drain and staples on the Mon. after my surgery and I had lost 14 lbs. I have not had any trouble with any of the eating or drinking. This week I started my proteins and blended soups, all of that is going good. I'm averaging 40 to 50 grams a day. Next week I will be starting yogurt, scrambled eggs, and cottage cheese. So that will be fun. Hope everything is going good and keep up updated. Sherrie Duncan -14
