Hey Jen, WELCOME!!!  To the OH site. I had surgery with Dr. McBride this past September.  She is great!  Her bariatric nurse is extremely helpful and available by email to answer any questions that may come up. There are a few other posters that have had surgery with Dr. McBride, so feel free to pose any questions. Let us know when you have your surgery date so we can send prayers your way. Blessings.......

Thanks Sunbunnie!  It's so great to meet people in the Omaha area that can vouch for the surgeon, and share their experiences with me.  Glad to hear your experience went well.  I'll definitely share my surgery date with everyone once I know.  And the more prayers the better!   God bless, Jen

Hi Jen,

Oh, yes....the waiting game, I do remember that. It will go fast though, while I was waiting for my DS it was actually surprising how fast it really got here once I had my date. And now it is amazing how the weight just melts off. You will love this website, it is very informative and helpful. Good luck....

Hi Delano1972 - Thanks for the support! I shouldn't be in such a rush to lose the weight - afterall, it's taken 15+ years to put it all on.  HAHA.  I really enjoy this website - it's good to fellowship with people who understand where I'm at in my journey.  Take care, Jen

Hi Jen.  Welcome to the board.  I hear Dr. McBride is great.  I actually had Dr. Sudan at Creighton and he was great too.  I was just banded the day before Thanksgiving.  We're all hear for you.
