Topic: Anyone had RNY reverse or takedown looking for support

Im going to have a RNY takedown. Im almost 7 years out and been very sick had all the tests done and live on meat and lettuce.I dump on even that now and my weight keeps dropping every week. I refused the lapband over my bypass so this is it. I also talk to both DS drs out here and with my weight be low not a good option and its not covered by my insurance. So My Dr has been doing surgery for 40 years and this is the only other option. So I'm looking for anyone that has had it as I have some questions?

Topic: Patient Bariatric Surgeon's Reunion

Staff and attendees had a great celebration at our recent 2013 ObesityHelp Conference.  It is so much fun to be with other pre-op and post op WLS'ers.  

 Bariatric surgeons regularly hold patient reunions for their patients.  If your bariatric surgeon has an upcoming Patient Reunion, please reply to this post with the surgeon's name, date and details so other patients of your surgeon can be aware of the upcoming get-together.  
 

Thanks!!

Topic: RE: OT: Good areas to live around Sacramento

Hi, if you'd like to get information on Sacramento or Washington, there is a great site called City-Data.com.  You can access it at this link.  http://www.city-data.com/forum/  I live by this site.  Tons of people there who will answer your questions, or you may peruse the boards for questions that have already been answered.

Topic: RE: OT: Good areas to live around Sacramento

Just looking on Zillow.com under rentals in both Tacoma and Sacramento the rental market seems comparable.  You'd have to make sure you have air conditioning in Sac.  It can get pretty warm there.  Not really sure about the surrounding cities  as far as desirable neighborhoods and such.

Topic: OT: Good areas to live around Sacramento

Hello everybody!  I am thinking of moving to the Sacramento area but I'm not sure of what areas would be okay to live in.  Does anybody have any opinions?  I'm having a hard time deciding between Tacoma Washington and the Sacramento area.  Both have their good and bad qualities.  I'm trying to see where it would be more affordable.  Thanks in advance!  :)
