Hi all my Arizona buddies.....it's Eydie talking from the land of the ice and snow.  Well actually we have finally got some spring type weather here and it is great!!
I am kind of stalled in the weight loss rightnow but went for another fill a week ago so....  Also still have that broken foot I left Arizona with, it is not healing so my ecercise is down to nada, zilch etc.  They think they may have to do surgery on it.

Anyhow other than that all is well.

My doc here would like to send a letter to Dr. Podkamini or Dr. Schuster? , the guys who work out of Banner Gateway , to see if they would follow me this winter.  Can anyone send me an address for them, we aren't having any lick finding one so far.Thanks to much. Any other doc who does Realize bands wold probably be acceptable too.

Can tell you how much I miss the support groups down there, I have been trying to get one started here but there is so much apathy and the clinics are not supporting my efforts either, although they say they know how important follow up is !!!!

Oh well, another four months and I'll be back there.  Love to you all and hope everything is going good for everyone.

Eydie

Hi Eydie - sorry about your foot - hopefully it will start to mend soon and you can get on your way to weight loss!  Can you perhaps swim?  That would be great exercise without putting any stress on your foot.

We chatted at the support groups - I am Theresa - a fellow bandsters.  I was at dinner with you and your charming husband and was at the Chandler support group and Banner support groups with you.

Here is the information:

David Podkameni, MD
or
Rob Schuster, MD
Banner Gateway Bariatric Center
Canyon Springs Medical Plaza

Keep in touch!

Thanks so much Theresa..I do remember you and have felt that you are a real inspiration that it can be done.

I have asked the doc about swimming and he has finally given me permission to try deep water exercise, but not swimming as the break is right where your foot flexes when you kick. I see the specialist again on July 9 re: surtgery or not...sure hope it's not!!!

I am really having a hard time losing despite the fill and I think it is the inactivity that is the key to the problem.

Thanks again...see you soon.  Love Eydie
