I do want to mention some of you have come such a long way since the last time I have been on!!!Congratulations !!!

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIii Lindsay! Been thinking of you,  Wow  gallbladder out you may feel a ton better, I am so glad you stopped in and   Surgery or no surgery ITs all the same battle we are fighting, Its just as hard without surgery, before surgery and AFter surgery, and its emotional! I think its awesome you are taking a step back and  going for it yourself, Thats what this journey is all about  changes  in all of us.  Learning from each other and  sharing Love and support!    We  have missed you.. Scented Blessings Allicca

Lindsay Glad to hear your doing great. we are all here to support you with what ever you decide. I had my gallbladder out in 05, 07 had gastric bypass dr. clough said i had alot of scar tissue from the gallbladder surgery. but all is gone now.. welcome back to the group. Barb

I was just reading your profile yesterday. So sorry you have had such a rough time. I am Kathy and it is very nice to meet you. I had my gall bladder taken out almost a year ago and was worried they would not be able to do my surgery, but ended up just fine. I also had had two c sections.. Are you still seeing Dr Loggins?? The lady that was my room mate in the hospital had gone in for a RNY surgery and woke up having had the Lap Band. Dr Loggins said she had to much scar tissue for the RNY but  the lap band went fine. Best of wishes to you.

Lindsay!! Welcome Back!  I am glad you are doing better! Of course, we will support you in your weight loss surgery or no surgery!! There are a ton of new people in our little forum!!  I am glad you are back!!

hey lindsay, so glad to hear from you. wish you were feeling better. please feel you can still come to the support groups too. whether you have surgery or not it's a great support system. i've had my surgery and find this room and the support groups very helpful. it's tough on this side too. hang in there. you'll make it. just give yourself the time you need to heal from this surgery and then you can work towards your rny.
