Hi,
My name is Tracie. I live in Moscow. I'm scheduled to have RNY with Dr. Pennings on Oct. 1st. I have been on optifast for 5 wks and am ready to change my life.
Have you had any problems? You must be on full liquids or puree by now?

I know sweetie. I used to live in Caldwell. My parents still live in Payette. I was just saying if you can't find a Dr. down there then We have an excellent Dr. Up here too. Hugs.

If I lived closer to Post Falls I would definately speak with Dr. Pennings, unfortunately, Post Falls is a 7 hour drive from my house.

Hi Kymberly,
I do live in Post Falls and can't say enough good things about Dr. Pennings, his staff and the staff at the hospital. I had such an easy time. They are all amazing folks who are extremely sympathetic with weight issues. Hope it helps your decision.
Blessings,
Annie W.
Topic: I am back and with Sea legs!
am back from my Alaska Cruise, and I am pretty sure Terri's ship was ported by our a few times, hum Have to compare places, hehehehe, I was almost admitted into Sitka Alaska hospital and then almost in Seattle yesterday morning, but did port yesterday then we drove 8 hours home and was in Ontario/Payette for 15 mins to see my husband and Son then off to the hospital here at home till 4 am this morning, (this might be to much info but) I for 5 days has very bad bleeding with between baseball and bowling ball size clots and the doctor on ship and my Doctor conversed the whole way, I thought we had everything fixed before I left but no the Very bad curse had to follow, for all those who I have told this too, this is one of the MAIN reasons that my Ob-Gyn, and family doctor said weight-loss surgery was the best way to solve this problem, there really isn't anything that helps when you are very heavy, Sitka Alaska Pharmacy was filling priscriptions like crazy from my ob-gyn back here at home, I never got to see the town could get out of the bed in my cabin, I cryed alot in pain and felt kinda sorry for my self. I did have fun when I wasn't fealing sick, ON TOPE OF ALL THE I got Motion Sickness BAD and was on a prescription patch and pill for this, I can only imagine what I would feal like if I wasn't on it.
I did feel sorry for my mom, sister, and neice that they had to have there vaction around this, I cant wait to get more and more weight off so I can see some of my health problems start getting more in order.
Today I have felt very Sick, heavy bleeding, clots, not able to eat, and SEA LEGS BAD, Feal like I am still rocking from the boat.
I have gotten 140 oz of water down so I am glad about that, well I hope everyone else is doing okay and I will talk with you all later. Kristy

I spoke to his office this past week and they are trying to get their standing back with medicaid but I don't know how long that is going to take, I have been looking for a year and I don't want to have to go to Post Falls since it is almost 7 hours away and I would have to get hotel and all the other accomodations.

Hi - have you tried Dr. Oakley? I know his office is center of excellence, but don't know about medicaid.
