Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it.  But maybe the next year. 


I am glad you get to go and enjoy yourself.  Tell Nik she is doing a fantastic job!
Make sure to take some pics and share if you don't mind. I would love to see.

Take care and thank you for posting.

Maybe Dr. S at John Hopkins Hospital....  Good luck!

As for the board people get stupid they get power trips and everyone end up getting turned off.  So people move on.  But some are still around offering support.  It's hard when you post and try support people but no one real is posting back. 

To me this board was of great support to me during my journey. So I hope I can continue paying forward when I have the chance since I am always busy. 

I wish you all the best in your journey.  Please keep us posted. 

Take care,

Hi,

Thanks so much for replying.  I will check out your suggestion to see if he does DS revision, not to many doctors do this revision.   I use to read post on here a couple of yrs ago, what happened to everyone.

Hello,

I never had a revision but my doctor is wonderful as well and he is located in Catonsville, MD Dr. David von Rueden  410-368-3003 St Agnes hopsital.

Good luck with the new insurance and with the doc you choose. 

Take care and please let us know how it goes.

I attended this event in Baltimore last year and I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to get to meet up with some of my WLS friends and learn how to make these great dishes. It was so much fun and was such a help to discuss with others how they are handling the holidays. Cause we all know that holidays are STUFFED with food right? 
 

This year the event is in two locations: Baltimore and Pittsburgh. I’m going to the Pittsburgh one (even though I live in MD, I’m busy the weekend of the 29^th but I still want to go!). The tickets are cheapest right now at the advance rate, but there’s only three more days to get that rate for the Baltimore event ****il Oct. 8). For the Pittsburgh one the advance rate ends the 15^th. You can check out the details at www.bariatricfoodie.com.

 

The author of Bariatric Foodie is a member of OH, her screen name is Cleopatra_Nik in case anyone wants to PM her for information. You can see what she’s about on Bariatric Foodie. There are lots of recipes there for us post-ops along with other cool stuff. I really like her blog and what she does for the WLS community so I wanted to spread the word about this event. From talking to her, I can tell she really cares about us feeling good about the holidays AND  that she wants to bring these events to more places if there is a demand. Let’s show her there is!

 

Also, I wanted to make sure folks knew about this great event and have the opportunity to buy when the tickets are cheapest!
