Dr Bruderer is taking me as a patient

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. Dr. Bruderer has agreed to take me as a patient even though he didn't do my surgery. I have an appointment with him on July 6th to get my labs drawn to see how I am doing 2 years post op.

Congrats!
It is nice when things fall into place. How have you adjusted to the move? The weather is finally changing! No more parkas LOL. Any other exciting news yet? Job etc...
Keep us informed to your progress or just shout out something about life LOL

I am still maintaining all my weight loss at the 2 year mark. I had very little issues with the anniversary of my emergency surgery, which surprised me, since I did have some PTSD issues. I am happy to report I am employed, started June 16th, which is also they day my health insurance started. I have AMAZING benefits, and the pay isn't too shabby either! I will be attending the MedOne support group in July, as I have been missing going to support groups and chatting with others who have had or are going to have this amazing surgery. I had a blast shopping for new work clothes (I needed professional clothing, I came from Florida, all I had were shorts and tank tops!)

I am glad you are going to see Dr. Bruderer on the 6th of July.  I think you will like him as well as his Assistant, Deb.  His nurse, Judy is very sweet also.  You can tell him that Sandy M from Williston was among those that recommended him.  I had my RNY on Nov. 19th, 2008 and have lost 105 pounds and have had no complications and done very well.  In May, 2009, I opted to have Dr. Bruderer do my gall bladder surgery as well even though it is a 3 1/2 drive from my home town.  Anxious to hear more from you.  Have a fun filled and save 4th of July in North Dakota.

Hugs,
Sandy
