Crystal I live in Beloit, Ohio I used to work in E. Liverpool years ago so I know right where your at. Beloit is near Alliance, I had WLS on May 31 2006 I had mine at St. Vincent Charity in Cleveland, Ohio I had open RNY and if I can be of any help to you please let me know. I actually have family in the Negley, East Palestine and Rogers area and I have also been to the Rogers sale several times. E. Liverpool is about 35-40 minutes from me and I love to travel my wife and son and I are always in the car going somewhere. So let me know if you would like to talk. Jim

Thank you!!! I would LOVE that! I'm having such a hard time finding a decent doctor. I had a staph infection in Nov that keeps recurring. I don't know if you've ever heard of MRSA but it's horrible. The doc I had been seeing told me it wasn't that, I just had dry skin! So I went back to a dr I liked but had to stop going to her because of ins changes. The staff is awful. The receptionist is never friendly on the phone, even the nurse seems like she's just aggravated by everything. It was just very different from how I was remembering it. As soon as I walk in I notice signs everywhere about money. It will be $15 for forms to be completed and to get an excuse for work or school, charges for replacement orders if you forget to take it with you to the hospital, etc. I think I just might stay with the crazy doc to get my clearance done & out of the way and worry about finding a PCP experienced with WLS patients later. Whew!! Sorry to go on so long but I'm getting frustrated. I really like the female doc but I just know dealing with all the mess & extra charges will be too much for me. Enough b!#$%ing! Sorry again. Where did you work here? I used to work in Lisbon at the child support agency, now I'm back in town. It's wonderful to be able to get to work in 7 minutes. I've been through Beloit before. It's a nice area. I haven't been to Rogers sale in a while. We used to go about every Friday just to look around. Did you have a good experience at St. Vincents? I'll get the lapband done at St Joe's in Warren. I'm seeing Dr Vanek at St E's Surgical Weight Loss Center. So far so good. I'm trying to find someplace closer than Warren to get a bone density screening done. I don't like to drive. Heavy traffic makes me nervous. I'm having the scope and gall bladder ultrasound done 4/13 but will have to make a separate trip for the desity test. What kind of tests did you have to get? Are you happy with your results so far? Have you had any problems? Just feel free to spill your guts . Hope I didn't make you regret your offer to talk! Happy weekend!!! Crystal
