Yes I meant Dr. Coster!  How long did it take before you received a date?  Where do you get your Calcium Citrate 500 mg w/ D?  Those pills are so large they are hard to swallow.

When did you have your surgery - what kind and how are you doing today?  I know I'm full of questions and I am also very anxious.  Thank you.

How long did it take to get your surgery?  I'm looking at a revision from a vbg to an RNY.  I just had my appointment last Friday and I go back the first week in June for my UPPER GI test.  I just had a breathing test done so getting it sent to them.  My Family Doctor is writing him my referral and my co-morbidities.  I'm 5'2" and weigh 235.  I'm mirerable, my knees hurt so bad I just had one scoped and they did some work on it but it still hurts.  I can't get up and down without using my arm muscles.  I have had 3 back surgeries and now am left with chronic pain from it and nerve damage down my L leg and into foot.  I think if I get this weight off again and keep it off this time my knees and pain will have to get better and maybe I can get off all this medication for High Blood Pressure.  My legs are so swollen every day I can  hardly walk.  I'm just getting really anxious. 

I had a VBG thinking it would do it for me cause I wasn't a sugar eater that is until I had that surgery and found that sugar slid right through.  Without sugar I have to lose weight.

I'm lookiing for any advise from anyone out here - this is my first time back since 1999.
