Topic: Good News!
Hi everybody,
Just wanted to let you know that I had my one month follow-up w/ my surgeon. I have lost an additional 19 lbs. for a total of 44.8 lbs. since surgery on 1/24. I am so happy. I don't see her again for two months. Also, I am now allowed regular food!
Big Hugs,
Rosa

Hi Carolbear,
I had acid reflux too, but since surgery I have not taken any meds for it and have had absolutely no problems at all. I think it's great that the practice you are going to has such experience. From what I understand, the more patients they have done, the better the chances of success. I am so happy for you! God bless you too. I will be praying that it all goes well for you.
Big Hugs,
Rosa

Goodmorning Rosa, I hope that you are feeling good. Keep up the fantastic work. Soon you will be a success story. I read your journal, and I'm so happy that your diabetes is getting better. Wow, you asound just like me, scared, wondering, and so full of hope. Thank you for your kind words.....On a good note, I finally had the EGD. All seems well (negative for H. pylori). I do have acid reflux and some polyps that Dr. Rosenberg removed. John from Dr. Nishi's office told me that he will give my file to the group and they , HOPEFULLY, pick me to be scheduled for surgery, next. The practice is very big, they do about 4 or 5 bariatric cases a day.
I'll have more info on Monday.....Good luck and use the power of prayer..God Bless.....Warm regards, Carolbear

Hi Carol,
I know you said you talked to your son about the surgery and he said he thinks you are beautiful just the way you are. I think it's important to tell him that you are not doing this to be "beautiful", but that you are doing it because you want to live a long and healthy life. I can assure you that you will feel so much better physically if you get the surgery. Right now you are young and somewhat healthy, but it will only get worse, and more than likely you will continue to gain weight. When I was 36, I didn't have all the medical problems I have now. I am 44 and I am now a diabetic, have sleep apnea, and before surgery I was unable to walk from one room to another without being in pain. I used to have to get a motorized cart to ride on when I went shopping, and if the store didn't have one, then I left. If you don't get the surgery, the chances are that your health will only get worse, and you will probably be unable to continue to work. I am not trying to push the surgery on you, but I just know how much better my life is now, and it's only been almost one month since I had it. I wish you the very best no matter what you choose to do. Please keep us updated.
Hugs,
Rosa
