Hi Betty welcome to the group. I too am always surprised by people who have WLS of any kind and have no idea what they did?? Dr Fobi does both now, but mine was open, as I like to say from ear to ear!!
I wanted them to open the hood the heck with going through the wheel well!! At 440 I don't think he can do a laparoscopic on someone that size anyway!!
Nice to have you here, hopefully we can get this list going!!
Topic: RE: new to site
Hi, I'm Betty from Georgia. I have 6 grown children and live in a household of 4 cats and 3 dogs. My doctor does the fobi pouch. I knew nothing about it until I met him. Then I did alot of research and now believe it is the best of all the WLS. When I've talked to others from this site I've found many who were not sure what kind of WLS they had. It surprised me. The more common question is if the surgery would be open or a lap. So maybe there are those out there with the fobi pouch that just don't know.
