Seeking post-op bypass to be pen pals

Hi, I am a 52 year old woman, who had lap RYN 06/09/04. I live in Memphis, I am married, with 2 grown boys and 3 grandchildren. I would like to share this post-op experience with someone who is going through the same things I am. Rita

Hi Rita, I had my surge on 08/09/04 came home on Thursday I would love to chat with you sometime. I noticed myself crying a few times. Did you ever do that yourself? Tifany is my name by the way I hope to hear from you soon. I will be back online Sunday 08/15/04

Hi Tifany, I know what you mean about the crying, seems like our emotions were directly connected with our stomachs. I am 9 weeks out and I don't feel so emotional anymore like I did at first. What I am now is impatient to lose. I have been hovering around the same weight for a couple of weeks now and I know I am focusing on the scale and that should not be my main focus. I think I will hide my scale. What time will you be online Sunday? C-ya, Rita

hello had my wls 8/02/04 i'm 50 and have 2 grown kids and 3 grandbabies my mom ives in covington,tenn and drove to target in memphis and saw graceland before I came back home love "beal street" let me know if you want me for a pen pal it's been almost 3 weeks and I was 281 today was 251 ---30 pounds Trish

Hi Trish, How's post WLS life? Really different then what I expected, 100% better. I have two grown kids also and 3 grandchildren, what a coincidence. My kids both live out of town. One is career airforce and lives in Grand Forks, ND with his 3 grandchildren and our youngest left last weekend for college, so my nest is empty. I have lost from 240 to 198 in 10 weeks and I feel really good. I have been fortunate enough to be able to tolerate most foods in small amounts and I have been very careful not to eat anything that would make me have dumping syndrome. Covington is a really nice little town, all of my family actually comes from Ripley which is about 20 miles north of Covington. Enough about me, tell me about yourself. Rita
