Topic: RE: Girl from Cali needs a pen pal
I can't get my picture small enough to upload. How did you get yours to post? March seems so far off, but I know time flies. How much have you lost? What type of advice can you give me since my surgery is all the way in San Diego, CA, and I live in Bakersfield, CA. I was born at El Camino hospital in Mountain View so your not too far from there. I have sensitive skin and I had breast implants twice, but due to complications they are out of me for good, so I'm nervous about anymore elective surgery.

Hi,
Surgery date for RNY scheduled for March 11, 2011. This has been a long process. I'm new to this site and would like a pen pal to chat with.

Topic: RE: Pen Pal-I'm in Orillia Ontario
I would love to share my experiences with you, however, I had my surgery in January this year.
Topic: RE: Pen Pal-I'm in Orillia Ontario
I started asking my family doctor in July 2010. We had talked about it for a long time, but I tried other things first like Meridia, Weigh****chers and an exercise program. Nothing seemed to really work.
I had my first appointment at the Bariatric Clinic mid September and then things starting rolling from there. Hind sight is 20/20 and I now realize if I had made a couple of phone calls I would have been scheduled for surgery sooner, but it wasn't 100% clear to me what needed to be done at what stage. All in all, March works out better for me anyway. I have waited this long, another 3 months will seem like an eternity, but is nothing compared to living all these years over weight (at least that is what I am telling my self - ha, ha).
