Finally feeling good!

 Hi to All,
I must admit I had my surgery just over a year ago and I didn't think I would ever be on this forum saying how glad I am that I had the surgery!  
I was one of the unfortunate ones who had a leak!  UGH! It was terrible. I was pretty angry with everyone. 
Glad to say I have moved past it. I am thankful to all the members of my team at Durham Regional. Dr Eric Demaria, Dr Katherine Applegate, Patrick Mahaney & Liz Keenan (dieticians), & Mary Whitman RN the bariatric coordinator.  I didn't really appreciate them all the time.....but now I can say I wouldn't be here without them! 

Now I am looking for a place w/ good protein rich recipes and for some local support groups. I had heard a while back that there were some in the Raleigh area from Mary and she suggested I come on here.  Any suggestions?  Thanks! Angi

Hi, Still looking for the Raleigh support group if anyone can help!  Also, I have a friend who had was scheduled to have surgery w/ Duke this week but two patients in her pre op group died at Durham Regional last week.............or so she has heard.  She really needs a support group to get her head right.  She cancelled her surgery but has lots of medical problems.  Any suggestions to help her???  Thanks!
