Hi Everyone,
My name is Ginny.  I am starting a new chapter in my WLS Journey and decided to come back to OH to rebuild my support network.  I had an Open RNY in Feb 2002 with Dr Robinson at Brigham and Womens Hospital.  My starting weight was 261.   At the very bottom I reached 135.  I was very happy with my results.   Over the past couple of years, I have experience some weight gain .   I ignored it for a while.  Now I am up to 187 and finally swallowed my pride, overcame the feelings of shame, and went back to my surgeon.  He has referred me to Dr Thompson.   I will be having sclerotherapy on July 6th to repair an enlarged stoma. 

So....I am looking for some new friends to share the journey with.  I would love to build some support here!    Looking foward to chatting.   Ginny.

Thanks for your support Sue .  Now I am off to figure out how to add a ticker to this thing.  OH has changed quite a bit since I was here last!
