Tara, I recommend Dr. Walker Byars in Oxford, MS.  He performs Gastric Bypass and LapBand as well as being a general surgeon.  He is wonderful and has a terrific office staff.    His phone #662-234-3303.   If I can be of assistance please let me know. Thanks, Michelle

That would be great! I am 3 years post op and still need the support. I am also 7 months post op from plastics. April you look amazing like a new person. You are doing great!!! I know what it is like not having the support. I had my surgery 2 weeks before Katrinia and there wasnt a support group in Colorado where we moved. If it hadnt been for this board I would have been lost. I have been haning out on the plastics board for my support as of late. Hope to see everyone soon. I am working mostly nights but will do what I can to be at the meetings.  Amy

Hi, I am on Medicare and had wls in Jackson, Ms. Dr. Kenneth Cleveland was my surgeon. My surgery was in 05' but I feel sure he still accepts Medicare.  Good luck, Kim

Hi Melissa!  I haven't found out anything yet. My appointment with the hematologist is next Tuesday, the 25th. I guess I will know more then. I am worried about it because it could be anything from the platelets clumping up in the test tube to cancer....  :( Karine

I am going to do what I can =) I am feeling much better. Just had my last test done, so if this shows nothing, then I am not sure where we go from there. Probably just rack it up to the flu virus getting into my nuero-muscuar system. Thanks for asking =)
