Had my surgery at Barix, Langhorne... Most people love the surgeon they choose. . . the choices you have are both good ones according to people I've heard say they went that route. From my experience, I would say all who've had the procedures done at Barix were happy with the surgeons and the care received; it was one of the first Bariatric only facilities around and it is not a hospital, so less chances of post-surgery infection, the care you receive there is wonderful, before, during and after, as well as the support groups that are held there 3x a month. We have a Saturday group that meets each First Saturday of the month, at 11 a.m., until 1 p.m., often there is a breakout for those pre-ops and newly post-ops to have their own little group, then there is the pre-op support group which meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m., and lastly, there is a post-op that meets the 3rd Wednesday of each month, again at 7 p.m.
Please feel free to attend our groups, they are open to anyone who needs/wants support, though technically, the nutritionists can only offer their services to people who've had their surgery at the facility. You can also purchase supplements, protein, dietary before and after the meetings.
Good luck on your journey, hope to see you around.

WLS 5/31/07. Maintaining a weight loss of 141 pounds and feeling amazing!
Very true. I know I need to move on and want to move on. I'm very excited for the new position to start and all that comes with it. And it will give me the experience that I'll need to go for more senior positions as they are posted.
I told Gene this morning that these two cats are more exhausting than my daughters when they were Teens!!!!

check with your PCP or your surgeon. Call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask for someone that deals with WLS they should be able to give you some direction. You can also try this link;

Nancy,
I don't live in your area but is there someone that your doctor's office could recommend who works with people who have had WLS? Finding a good therapist is such a personal thing. I don't know if there are any OH boards devoted to that or not. It's worth a try. Good luck with your search. I would be lost without my therapist - she's been a God send. Take care.

Ida,
Best of luck in this new position. I know that change can be scary but this is the reason why you got your masters. I have no doubt that you will be awesome in your new job. Hope that things improve for you and your cats. I am not a cat person so I have nothing to offer in that area. Enjoy the rest of your day.
