new here...sort of
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.
