Topic: RE: looking for support and friends
Hi,  My name is Mag. I live in Green Valley, AZ so not even close. I am 14 days post-op and had the RNY.  I am not the arts/ crafts type. My grandmother and aunt were but I didn't get their talent. I really need some hobbies that I can do while I'm not very active yet.  You mentioned age. I'm a real oldie. I am 60 years old, but young at heart.

Topic: RE: Newb 4 penpals
HI! I'm new to Obesityhelp.com. Just joined last night. I am looking for others who are pre-op. I haven't set the date yet, have two more months before I can do surgery. I'm doing the LapBand. I'm really committed, but nervous too. I have some support, but am feeling like I need more! I don't want to tell everyone that I'm doing surgery, I'm kinda private and don't want everyone in my business. Those closest to me know about it. How does pen-pal'ing work? do you reply to this "thread" or give an email address or what?
Hope to be a support to others too!

Hi, I'm happy to hear that you're getting this under control.  I am trying the 5 day pouch test right now.  I am almost through day 1!  Right now I'm getting a headache and I'm starving!  But I will get through this.  How I pray that my pouch isn't broken..........I hope after I can keep this up and get back on track again. When is your surgery?

I thank God that I am getting this second chance.  I have been gaining weight for about 4 years; however, the past two years of gaining eclisped the other two.  I am a web searcher who kept plugging in weight gain after gastric bypass and one of my search returns brought up the Rose procedure.  So I researched it and found a surgeon about 400 miles away from.  I filled out the online questionnaire and watch the online seminar and waited for a call which came in two days.  From there on, my husband and I have been traveling 400 miles to Louisiana once or twice a month since the day before Thanksgiving.  I am getting all the Preop testing done here at home.

After the EGD, Dr. Redman decided that the best procedure would be the open RNY because of the scar tissue.  I really wanted the Rose but I am happy just to get this second chance.

I have been thinking a lot about what I did wrong the first time around and I am trying to deal with my health issues and the main reason why I love to eat and why food is my best friend.  I would love to talk with the others who are "in the same boat as I am.

Hello Tawnee...
I am authorized and looking forward to my surgery on 2/15/11.  Lets do this togather...  Are you having RNY?  I am in Colorado and just ready to have a new life with a new healthy body.  Looking forward to getting friends and supporters here and hopefully will get the extra person on my hips GONE.

Topic: RE: Need support going threw gastric bypass.
Hi!  Although I'm in CT, I'd really like to help anyone getting ready to go through WLS surgery - particularly RNY.  I had surgery nearly 10 years ago, and all I can tell you is that it's the best thing that ever happened to me. (Lost 200 lbs)  I remember so much and want to give back to the web site that was the most helpful to me.  Write back if you like, with any questions.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
