Well look at you, just a hop away from me here in Davenport! I was actually in Wilton yesterday (driving through of course lol).
Some would definitely disagree with me.. but my first thought after coming home from my RNY was "boy am I glad my surgeon is near"... I couldn't imagine having surgery out of town or south of the border! It was a huge comfort having Teresa and Kathy readily available if I needed them.
I go back and forth with the DS. Somedays I wished I researched it more, other days I'm glad I'm not "one of them" LOL if you know what I mean..... If you read the main board its been nothing but a RNY vs DS battle and those people can be just plain ugly hearted. Anyways.. the thing that attracted me to the DS was the ability to eat more "normal". However....I really don't think it is the best fit for me. I'm doing great with my RNY so far, and I'm glad I chose it! I am 58 lbs. down and 3 months out. I have severe reflux and haven't had it since! I was also able to go off of my blood pressure meds and I have normal blood pressure!!!
If you have any questions let me know.... I'm sticking by my RNY

I bet that emotion has changed to joy with the weight loss! Way to go!!!! I had surgery December 18th, same as Katie, and have similar start weight and goals. I haven't weighed yet, but go in tomorrow for my 2 week post op appt, can't wait to get these staples out! I would love to share this journey with like minded people and it looks like I have hit on a good site. I'm still getting used to the set up, but hope to find this a great way to reach out to others, we're all in this together and hopefully I can support you and make you laugh a little along the way. Congrats on the start of an amazing journey to good health, look out 2008!
Wishing you the best,
Katiegirl
