I attend the support group in Solon. I like to consider us a Rogue group since we are all from different programs and meet independently. Good support and also keeps your feet to the fire! It is nice to get a little different perspective from all the different programs that we come from as well as different points of the journey that all of us are on

Hi Pix,
I am going for my pre op on Thursday and my surgery is scheduled for July 19th with
Dr. Ben-Mier.  I'm a little nervous which is normal and I have total trust in him.  Its just nice to find someone else that had him for their surgeon.

Tammie,  if you are anywhere near Solon, please come join us at our group.  Wish I would have started in a group pre-op!  The support group is something I really look forward to and has kept me totally on track.

Hi Kate,
Right now I'm staying in Conneaut for the summer.  My house is in Garfield Heights.  I am looking forward to getting involved with the support group starting in Oct.  Its just too long a ride back and forth for me right now.

Hope you guys don't mind if I stop in to ask ?'s as my surgery date gets closer.
I try to read all I can about what to expect but sometimes there are ?'s I have too.


Thanks again,
Tammie

I'm a little bummed out this morning.  Yesterday I went for my PAT and they didn't like my EKG so now I have to see a cardiologist to get clearance for surgery.  If I don't get it by the 14th, my surgery will be off for the 19th.  :(

it'll happen. The last thing you want is to take unnecessary risks.  You've got 2 weeks to get the clearance.  Loads of time.  Start on the phone this morning getting your appts. in order.  Nothing is more important than your health!

 Hi all, 
I wanted to drop in and say "Hello" I am doing really well, I have dropped allot of my "Prednizone" weight, FINALLY got a Doctor to say I am allergic to that CRAP! and I can not be put on it anymore!!! Yay! 

I also have a pain management doctor that put me on another pain medication that is helping me to lose the pounds.  And I am now down to 220lbs and still falling! Woohoo!!!! I am feeling allot better, more energtic and even have had 2 job interviews for part-time jobs and I am hoping to have landed 1, waiting to hear when my training date is to start.

I still have another 45lbs to take off for my goal weight but I am taking baby steps.  It's been a long road, but one that will be well worth it again :).

I am glad that I fought against ignorant Doctors and didn't allow them to give up on me.  I still have not found a support group close enough for me to travel too down here.  Most are 30 miles or more from me. Maybe once I begin working and have extra money I will be able to afford it more.  Right now I just give it over to God and He helps me. 

Thanks for the support and I will try my best to check in better.  I think I have my preferences set up better so that I get notified when people send messages now.
Take care and God Bless!
