Topic: RE: Any other Tufts NEMC patients?

I am currently scheduled for August 27th, and I am like FREAKING out, cause I want to make sure the insurance covers everything before really allowing this to settle in. Anyone have Tufts Health Insurance.

BTW my friend had the surgery 2 weeks ago, she said make sure you bring something to read, some music to listen to, some LOOSE clothing, and a loose bra, towels and a pillow to lean on when you get in the car to go back home ( support your body and back ) and make sure you have all of your food available in the household when you come back.

Also, I heard Dr Kim is WONDERFUL, so you should be totally fine.

Topic: RE: 1 year down :)

congratulations!!! I can't wait until i reach that year mark! Its only been 6 weeks for me and I'm doing great losing weight. I find it so hard to take all my pills and supplemnts, drink and figure out what to eat. Too hot to cook this summer. I get discouraged with myself. What are your survival skills???

Revision on 06/29/10

Topic: RE: Repair/revision Dr. Thompson

Hi Yvonne,

I had the repair with Dr. Thompson and it was a no go. It didn't do anything for me. From what I understand, there has been little success with this revision. I now have a band over my bypass and I'm doing very well with that. You may want to explore that option.

Meet Me (Katie Jay!) in New Hampshire...A Rare Opportunity for the WLS Community

(When you are one of the first 5 people to register for my exclusive seminar, you'll get a free book!)

Dear Small Bites Reader,

Many weight loss surgery patients contact me about how well they did initially, only to start to regain after some months or years. Or they haven't regained, but they sense they are changing and know they need to do something before the regain begins.

Other patients find life after surgery more challenging for other reasons, like relationship issues, boundaries, transfer addiction, and other stresses.

No matter what, I've got information you won't hear anywhere else to help you on your journey.

I am thrilled to announce I am coming to Concord, New Hampshire, on August 11, 2012, to provide a seminar for people who want to create their best WLS life after bariatric surgery!
