HELLO ANDREA,
So glad to hear from you! would like to be there for you in anyway I can, I went it alone....
did have GOOD Friends to be there but, they didn't quiet understand and one was very against the surgery and when she saw I was determined she went along as best she could.
Moved from Swissvale to Highland Park.... move in with my Boyfriend, a Very Sweet Guy.....He supports me in everything I do! My Husband had passed almost 6 years ago and my Guy's wife has been gone little over a year.
I had gone to MAGEE to a Doc. Corculas, very nice! They do have a group that meet but with working and dating wasn't possible..... when I did get to the meeting THEY were VERY HELP FULL! I will tell you ....I do cheat a little but, not to the " dumping " stage.......did vomited in the beginning. Hard to change habits......but have not gained ..even after 3 years out!! I WILL NOT GO BACK to the way I was! I need someone to understand where I was and Where I want to go and if We can help each other out and travel down that " Road of Gastric Bi-Pass" would be Great! I given you a very short view of myself......sorry no pics......not mastered the net yet and for a few years only used friends computers and work ..... do have a Face Book!
Hope to Hear from You Soon!

Hi Mary Beth,
My mother isn't quite behind the surgery either. My husband is excited for the results but I think he is pretty disinterested in the process. My friends at work know I am doing it and aren't against it but I know what you mean about "going it alone". I am having my surgery with Dr Peluso at St Margaret because I work there and at least know the Drs reputations and the nurses. I did hear good things about Dr Corculas but my understanding was that they don't tell you if you qualify until after you do all of the testing. Here they qualify you first so that helped too.
I live up in New Kensigton. My husband and I moved from Rhode Island in 2005 and were just about to move back when I decided to put things on hold for this surgery. I was never a normal weight not even as a kid and the last three years I have had numerous bouts of asthma and put on weight with the steroids and I had a baby last Oct.
I am going to try to go to some of the meetings but with working nights so I know it will be hard to fit it in with my schedule too. I look forward to chatting with you and am happy to provide any support I can. I too have a facebook page. Feel free to friend me.
