Hi Robert;
Glad to hear from you and Congrats on your Surgiversay!!! It is good to hear from another "Oldie" LOL. Good to hear you are doing well. It is nice to do things I only sit and thought about wanting to do. I have so much more energy now. I am taking my vitamins so much better now that Dr. H told me to take them all together. I know it not always the best but like he agreed with me that getting what I do is much better than none. I am so bad about stopping to take them or remembering them. If you ever have a question you think I can answer please email me I will be happy try and answer any of them. Again, CONGRATS!!!!!

Hello Barb,
Thanks for sharing with us this many years out. It is good to see someone hanging in there and living a life only dreamed of. I will be watching for all of your updates.

Hi all,
I started my liquid diet today and will have surgery at WMMC on December 10. My head is spinning, it came so fast. Dr. Kenny is my Surgeon.
I just thought I would introduce myself and then I am off to read all the goodies in the Missouri forum. I had no idea how much of the local area I would see when I jumped on board. Until now, I have been hanging out in the 'WLS-over50' forum. I glad I decided to peek in.
It looks like I will be getting to know a few of you! :-)

There is a new WLS Support Group in the Kansas City Metro area. We meet every Monday @ 7pm at the Second Presbyterian Church, 335 E 55th St, Kansas City, MO. We meet in the Celtic Room by the Sanctuary.
All are invited to attend to give & receive support and encouragement before and/or after your WLS. We want to share hints, tips and suggestions about how to keep our journey a successful one!
Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or suggestions.
I had similar numbers, and have been a patient of Dr. Kraetsch at SSM Cancer Care, off Kisker in St. Peters. I finally got my numbers up to a low normal.
RNY 8/8/7
I'm 8 years post RNY, and have a ferritin of 4-7. My surgeon is not concerned with this as my H&H is still normal. I have some symptoms that I think are related to the ferritin. I would like to see a Hematologist who has experience with WLS patients... any suggestions? I'm near the St Louis area. Thanks!
I found Roller weight loss clinic in Fayetteville Arkansas, They do accept insurance, they do everything possible to make sure your ready for surgery. this is the doctor I will be using for my RNY sugery.
thank you
I work in Joplin in the health field, and there isn't anyone here in town i would use. Dr. Edwards is the best. He will be doing mine!
