An introduction
I introduced myself to the VSG folks a month or so ago, just discovered there was a board just for us Ohioans!
My name is Jody and I live in Centerburg Ohio and work for the State of Ohio at an office next to Port Columbus. I live on a 70 acre farm with a married couple where we girls raise and show miniature horses, and her hubby grows Christmas trees and holds down the fort when we go off horse showing. If you want to see pictures, I have a website at http://www.stonehavenminihorses.com
Now for the important stuff. I decided to pursue weight loss surgery and began the process last October with an all day marathon of appointments. Got all my required health screenings out of the way and have only six weeks until I complete the six month monitored diet.
My surgery of choice is the VSG which is good since the surgeon said that is the only one he feels comfortable doing on me because of IBS and a bleeding disorder called ITP. I am hoping this surgery will get my weight down to a point where I will be able to show my horses and dogs again, and to drive my horse on the rail trails without feeling so guilty, he is only 33" tall!

Hi!
I am sure you will do fine. You are off to a good start. I am jealous about the mini horses. I want one! I live in Medina Ohio on five acres, we did have ten but sold five.
I didn't have the VSG but RNY in July 2009
So welcome and don't be surprised if you don't get too many answers. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of people posting

Hi Jody! My name is Tracy and I signed up for this site last year cant really rimember the month. I just found this forum today! What a lucky day it is also! There are so many more things I find appealing to me that is "local". I am happy to meet more peop, so i would like to send out a big "HI" to everyone out there!!
Jody,
when are you having your VSG done? I am going to have mine done with Dr Myers also. Still need to get insurance approval.
I was looking for others who have had it done with Dr Myers as it seemed like he just started doing them in the last couple of years.
Please let us know when you are scheduled! I would love to follow your progress as I continue to research.
thanks!

I just got the call this afternoon at 4:30 that I have been approved! I was in a meeting at the annual Miniature horse convention and am on the board of directors so couldn't leave the room to find out what my missed call was. I barely made it to call back by 5 and got the great news. Partied tonight!! I will get a call on Monday to schedule the pre-op and surgery date!!!!!!
