I was looking under Christiana Care and saw they have several exercise and nutrien groups. I know Dr. Wynn's patients have to do classes . I saw one that was an 8 week class for $160. Is this the class her patients attend or is this different? I have to attend several for 3 months. I thought this might be closer than me going to D.C. Has anyone did the 8 or 12 week course ? They are once a week for 90 minutes and one gives you an exercise DVD. See you lighter. Joanne
Topic: RE: Debbie's Golden Ticket
Judy, Victory's meeting is the 3rd Tuesday of each month. It is on the 17th this month. Oh I wish I had a Golden Ticket too. We all do. I think everyone on this board knows how you feel. I don't know yet what kind of revision I will have . It all depends on my test and what the insurance company will cover.. I will not know for at least 3 months. Right now I have a bad cold so I can't get any test done until I can breath thru my nose. I had to reshedule one for 2 weeks. Just another bump in the road. Debbie and I look forward to meeting you in the near future. See you lighter. Joanne
Topic: RE: Debbie's Golden Ticket
Lucky for Debbie! I wish I had a golden ticket. You know you loose all this weight and to still have problems shopping for clothes just stinks! I wear a 8/10 pants but because of all the excess skin, I have to wear a 1X shirt or a mens M or L shirt. So not fair.
Joanne what kind of revision will you have? To a DS or just revise your RNY?
Have a great weekend, the weather is suppose to be great.
Is the Victory Chapel support group this tuesday? At 7pm? and what door do you enter? I cleared my calendar so I can attend and meet you guys! Can't wait!

Topic: Debbie's Golden Ticket
Debbie and I went to see Dr. Finelli on Wednesday. Her hernia turned into a Golden Ticket. She was put on the skin removal list. He told her she was at his goal weight for her. He does this by 70% of your excess weight lost. I was very happy for her. I on the other hand was put on the gain list for a revision. I have lots to do in the next 6 months. More than I had to do for my RNY but I will do what I have to do. Maybe this time next year I will be on the skin removal list. See you lighter. Joanne
Topic: RE: Gastric Bypass after a Lapband ???
Adamary, It can be done. The problem is sometimes it is harder to get the insurance company to pay for a second surgery. Your Dr's office should be able to guide you even if they don't do revisions theirself. Is going from a lapband to RNY considered a revision ? I had RNY and am looking into a revision. I was offered 3 choices. The lapband over the RNY was one but the Dr. said that would be the hardest to get approved. I have to do many things to get the revision approved. More than I did with my first surgery. It is worth it to me. I will do whatever I need to do for the next 6 months. See you lighter. Joanne

Topic: RE: Support Groups in Central DE
I go to nemerous meetings a month. I learn something new each time. I am 5 yrs out. It keeps me focused & positive. Sometimes a small group gets the chance to share more info. Large groups are good also if the leader keeps it interesting. Each group is different. Go to a couple then decide which one is for you. Good luck. ((HUGS)) Elissa

You can have it done. However it can only be done by a surgeon who does revisions
