New here in Friendswood, TX
Hello, my name is Carrie. I am 43 days post op from having my RNY. I have lost 33 lbs so far and I am feeling tons better. I had/have an awesome team of help at The Davis Clinic. I was 265lbs and the day of surgery I was 257lbs. As of this morning I was 232lbs. I am looking to meet others, swap recipes, and more.
Thanks,
Carrie

Home is where the army allows me to live with my husband
I know what I need to do - I have to choose to take care of me or I choose to fail

Welcome Carrie.
I was at the Obesity Help Conference this morning and it was great to meet in person
so many that have helped me. This is a wonderful board.
Sounds like you are doing great.
Dr. Garth Davis spoke this morning and he was great speaker . I got his book and
his autograph.
Keep up the good work.

The other person here from Friendswood - that would be ME !! 
Welcome to the TMB. You just missed a great conference in Dallas - they come up about once a year - sometimes more - so look for posts in the coming months for the next one - DEFINITELY worth your time.
I am also a patient of Dr. Garth's and I brought with me another one of his patents - Deedles - who was only 10 days out from surgery !!! She brought her pureed food to eat and hung in there the whole day on Sat and even into the evening - tough lady!
I started at 248 and was 234 the day of surgery (2-week liquid diet LOL) and just passed the century mark last week. My goal is 145 and I would like to keep a 5-lb bounce between 145-150.
I go to the Pasadena Support Group meeting which is run by Sean Nichols and we meet the second Monday of the month at 7:00 pm at Panera Bread at BW8 & Fairmont Pkwy. We also meet at the Starbucks across from Baybrook Mall (in front of Petsmart) on the second Saturday of the month at 10:00 am. It is a great way to get support and meet some of the crazy locals. It is open to all surgeries.
Welcome!

Congrats Sarah!!!! Did you hear I have been approved for my RNY for first part of Nov. I will have had my Endoscopy by the time I see you all. May not make the Baybrook meeting depends on what day I can trade to have Oct. 8 off for the endoscopy. I will definitely see everyone at the Panara meeting in Pasadena though. 
Carrie,Welcome! I too am from Friendswood. This is a wonderful group of folks with lots of love and support to share. Another support group meets in Alvin the 3rd Sat. of the month at Cas Ole Hwy 6/Hwy 35 at 1:30. This group in Alvin is like this group with all kinds of surgeries before and after people with and without reconstruction. Great to hear your sucess. I'll have my surgery soon so may have lots of question.Hope to meet you soon. Miss Jean Most Active
