Hi! New here

Hello everyone!  Been a lurker, finally made an account.  I'm in the midst of my doctor supervised diet and doing the other pre-op testing for RNY.  Hoping for a fall surgery.  My name is Claire..and I'm in Racine.  I can't believe all the wonderful info on this site!

Hey Claire!  Very nice to meet you!  Glad you decided to join in.  

Hi Claire! Welcome to OH! We're practically neighbors, I'm in East Troy. Where are you having your surgery?

I'm not sure if it's going to Kenosha Hospital or St. Catherines...both in Kenosha. Thanks for the warm welcome ladies!!

Hello Claire :) I live in Kenosha County...welcome & you are in great hands with Dr. J! I did not have him for my surgery....but he has been an angel figuring out what the problems are that I have been having! He is an excellent surgeon from all that I have heard. Best of luck with your surgery...go to the support groups that he has... they are on every 3rd Monday of the month from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Kenosha Medical Center Campus . They are a great way to meet others who have had surgery with Dr. J.

Thanks for the info!!  I work at St. Cats and work with his old P.A. so I get all the dirt on him and his staff..LOL.  I have friends in Bristol..such a lovely area!

You are most welcome!!! Ahhh you are close by then!! Yea...I didn't want to say...but a family member of mine was his nurse for a while and gushes about his abilities, plus he saved my oldest brothers life!!!!! (Good to have "real" dirt on drs!) I love Bristol....love lake living & country living!! Best of luck with your surgery :) Dawn
