Missing the chat

Hi all you chat buddies I will not be able to chat until probably Sunday night. I did go to my appt and things are moving right along. I have a nutrition consult next Wed and several letters that I haven't gotten that I need to get and then they will submit to insurance. I was also told that my insurance is pretty good and don't take forever. So wish my luck. Annette

Dear Annette, Missing you in the chat. Praying your ins. is fast. Diane in Kannapolis

Girly girl where are your vitamins?

I am new. I have a surgery date of June 2nd. I found this site by accident. I hope there are more people from North Dakota out there to vist with. I know this will be quite a journey and friend that understands would be great!!!!!!

Hi Wanda- Welcome to OH. I dont frequent the ND board often as you can tell, there isnt much activity. I usually go to the main board. Where are you having your surgery? June 2nd is right around the corner I bet you are getting excitied. I remember I was. If you have any questions, just ask. Sue

Hi Wanda I had my surgery in Bismarck on March 1. Things are going pretty good. Dr. Bruderer was my surgeon. He was great. I would do this again in a heartbeat. It does take some getting used to though. I have lost a total of 67 lbs. since Jan. 30. That was my first visit to Dr. Bruderer. I have been at a standstill for a week and a half. But that is normal from what I read on the site. If you would like to chat drop me an email I will gladly answer any questions you might have. By the way, I am 52 years old and wanted to have the surgery so that I too could chase after my grandchildren. It is already easier. My email is [email protected]

Im here too my surgery date is June 13th and i can't waitim a little nervous, and a lot excited.

Kandi- are you having surgery in Grand Forks? It is totally normal to be nervous. This is a major surgery you are going to have, but I had such total faith in my doctor, I knew it was all going to be alright and it was. No complications what so ever. You will do just fine. Let me know if you have any questions. Sue

I am having my surgery in Fargo. I am from a small town in North Dakota called Ashley. I am 56 and a mother, wife, and grandmaother and want to be able to run after all the little ones. We just moved my parents to be close so have alot of support. Spouse is a teacher so had to wait till summer when school is done. I am having surgery with Dr. Howell anyone have him? I have a daughter that lives in Grand Forks , she is a teacher at Wilder.

yup my surgery is here in Grand Forks im looking forward to getting it done, and going on with my new life. as far as questions i have about a million of them but their so jumbled about it's hard to know which ones to ask lol. most are silly ones i know the answers to allready but i guess what i need most of all is just some reasurance that there is life after WLS that im not dooming to a life of never ending suppliments, blood tests, and microscopes. which i guess when you look at it is basicly what im looking forward to anyway if i continue on my current path
