Topic: 2 year anniversary
Good Morning to all my WLS brothers and sisters. I am late posting this but just wanted to
say that I passed my 2 year anniersary on 9/11. I am in better physical and mental health for
having had my life-saving surgery. Had it in Sedalia with Dr. Phillip Hornbostel and I can't way
enough good things to express my appreciation to them for their wonderful care. Couldn't have
asked for a better Physician than Dr. Hornbostel and assistance from his wife, Margie and their whole staff.. Long after surgery, they have been extremely supportive and helpful with any and all questions I had. I have not had any negative problems at all from my surgery and that speaks volumns about their care. The folks at the Hospital in Sedalia were prepared for any and all my needs and I NEVER had to ask for anything. It was always offered before I knew I needed it (whatever IT was). What an experience! I know that I have added many more years to my life for haveing had this surgery and I highly recommend it to everyone who has tried all their lives to attain an acceptable weight in order to become more healthy. I had my surgery when I was 65 and now I feel as well or better as when I was in my 40's. I had ALL (plus some )of the comorbidities required to have the surgery. I have lost 141 #'s and still have another 50 #'s to go. I no longer take 5 insulin shot plus 2 pills per day, no sleep appnae, no meds for high blood pressure, etc. So grateful. Good luck to all who are contemplating one of the WLS surgeries. Wish I'd done it sooner. Many thanks to my PCP who encouraged and guided me thru these last two years. She had the same surgery in 2005 and was a source for help with everything and still is.

"WLS is about making better choices, a healthier lifestyle and seeing how little you can eat. Portion control is the key to all weight loss surgeries. Bottom line - it isn't how much you can eat - it is how little you can eat."

Topic: MIA
I am sorry I have been MIA - been depressed after losing my job then lost my younger sister last Dec. and life has just been the pits this past year...
I am weighing at around 155 to 160 pounds. Its been over 4 years since my RNY!
The garden was a big flop this year - had to buy things to make my famous pepper jellies & salsa. Also made a Harry and David Knockoff Onion Pepper Relish which everyone tells me is better than the original - I have kept myself busy/
Got a meeting today with Vocational rehab & waiting for when my hearing is to be for my disability...
Take care!

Hey LaToya,
I live in STL and work in Granite City. I'm sure you said, but where are you having your surgery and who is your surgeon?
