Topic: RE: Living back in Clovis, NM
I am relocating from NC to the Rio Rancho area of NM end of this month. How far is Clovis from there? Are you being seen by a PCP that is WLS aware and friendly? Any recommends?

Topic: Living back in Clovis, NM
Hi NM,
Back in Clovis. Have new doctor (Dr. Syn - Lubbock TX). Was in Alaska for four years and now I am back. So happy to be back. Too bad for those four years I didn't have a doctor. I will be having my Roux en Y done over again on June 23rd so soon I will be a newby again. Not really looking forward to it. I remember people asking me "Would you do it again?" and I would tell them "In a heart beat", Wow, foot in mouth, cuz here I am doing it again..lol
So anyhow just wanted to say Hi.

Topic: RE: Support Group????
I will put it on my calendar for the first week of April, will be fun:-)
I did well with the weight loss, lost 200 lbs total in almost 2 years. I had to have the skin removed from my stomach and breasts about 15 months out though, I have fibromyalgia and a MRSA infection history and my girls was trying to talk to my belly button....so my doctor thought I should have it off sooner than later. I'm currently at 173 lbs, had lost down to 145 but my primary wanted me closer to 170 so I added wheat, corn, starchy veggies into my diet. That just escalated the blood sugar issue and gave me congestive heart failure with elevated blood pressure again. So he sent me to an endocrinologist who put me back on the bare bones diet reccomended by the University of Minn. I did the 5dpt thing last week and immediately dropped 8 lbs. I can't believe how much better I feel overall already:-) But it's a struggle to live with blood sugars crashing to the low 40s/high 30s just for eating a piece of bread or potato:-( At the end of the day though, it's about better overall health I guess:-)
