Topic: RE: Hellooooooo is anyone out there?
Hi, Kim.
I rejoice about your good report from the doctor, that there's no recurrence of cancer. I'm sorry to hear about the leak, but surely they're getting it in time and it will be quickly resolved. What is the treatment for that?
Hope to see you at Support Group the 2nd Saturday in February. We're going to be talking about emotional eating, among other things. I'm looking forward to about 7 new faces, including yours, Lord willing. :)
Blessings,
Mary

Hi Kim!!!
Wow... I thought I had quite a ride, but it was nothing compared to you!!! Whoever said lightweights surgery was easier LIED!!!
I am just now trying to get into a routine with eating and drinking. Seems like everything good for me (solid meats and protein) makes me nauseated, and I don't seem to have enough time in the day to get in my fluids.
I am still happy I had my surgery, and am down about 35 #'s, but it's gonna be a long road...

Actually part of it was good, I got a clean report from my cancer doctor and the other part sucked because I have another leak and cannot eat or drink again. Oh well....

Hi Tina,
Yes, Dr. Dort requires classes prior to surgery but not sure what his requirements would be after. I'd suggest calling Kate Jantz at Solutions for Life (316-689-6115). She is the bariatric coordinator and could tell you what you need to know. If you call Dr. Dort's office they just refer you to Solutions.
Another resource is the Hutch support group. I have not been to the meetings yet but intend to. I looked online on the Hutch News for the info and they had it listed here http://www.hutchnews.com/Other/Support2009-01-03T18-39-43 Scroll down to the weight section. There are a couple of phone numbers listed that you might be able to find out info from. I will probably try to start going to those meetings.

Ginger-
I live in Hutchinson, and am trying to find a surgeron in Wichita. I see you mentioned Dr. Dort. Does he require you to do classes? or what are his requirements does he have? I actually was banded on 12/23 but moved to the area and now have to find someone to do my fills. Any info you can give me will help!
Thanks, Tina
