Hello to everyone in my family at OH!, My name is Teresa White, I mostly post on the mainboard but love all of you where ever you are in this Universe! First I would like to invite ya'll to join us in our What did YA'LL eat today discussion on the main board. I usually post anywhere between 7:30 and 9:00pm WV time and you can answer as late as you wish. I am the host of the thread, we talk a little about our day, our food and water intake and our exersize. We have a good time there and I don't like flaming on my thread. We are here to give and get support! And have a little fun along the way. I try to answer as many posts as possible, sometimes I dont get as far as I would like being a full time nurse, student and mom! I invite you to please visit my profile and share in my spectacular ride on my journey to WLS success. Anyone who has already been to my profile has already seen my love and admiration for Dolly Parton who I dream of meeting someday. While you are at my profile please click the Help me Meet Dolly link and sign my petition to Oprah to help me meet Dolly. It would mean more to me than mere words could express. My petition was designed and created by none other than our Birthday patrol founder and my friend Melissa Mermaid. Thanks M! Have a beautiful journey!!

There are two in the Treasure Valley (greater Boise area) who do lap RNY that I know of. Dr Jim Valentine in Nampa (about 8 miles from Star) and Dr Christian Oakley in Boise (about 8 miles from Star). My surgeon was Dr. Valentine, so I am biased in that direction, but have heard good things about Dr Oakley. Good luck.

I made it through the 1st week. I sure got tired of the liquids. The pudding tasted great this morning. Haven't had any trouble all week. A bit of pain where the hernia was repaired. Up and walking twice a day. Been easier than I thought. I now that the worst may be to come. I haven't gotten on a scale yet. Post-op on friday will post again then.

I just had RNY 05/31/05. Dr Valentine in Nampa performed my surgery and I am very pleased with him. his whole staff is great. They also have a great support group. There is also a teacher in our group who is having surgery June 14th, what a coincidence (sp). I hope we can meet you. I go to the group that meets the 3rd thursday of the month at North Mercy Medical center off the Garrity Rd exit. at 7 pm. I hope this helps, if you need any further info please feel free to contact me personally.
