HI Cal !!      I don't come to the ND boards much because there just isn't a whole lot going on........

If you want to be involved in the TEXAS group...........there are always lots and lots of conversations there that would LOVE to jump in and and help you..............but remember the decision is yours....................

We have bandsters and RNY and Sleeve patients that hang out on our boards too...........very GREAT group of people on there lots and lots of knowledge there..........but most of all.....VERY SUPPORTIVE

You ask why I even go to the ND boards.............I grew up in STreeter ND.............my dad still resides in Jamestown..................(((((((((((huggss))))))))))))))  good luck !!

Here is a link to the TMB:

  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.

Hello Cal,
 Find some good sites and read,read,read,read. Then when you think you have read enough, read some more! The more informed you are the easier it will be for you to make your choices in life. Yes, the choice is totally up to you and what you will feel comfortable with.

There are many different stories out there and some will make you cringe, that is ok. You will need to hear the good/bad/ugly. It is part of life. If life were a bed of roses none of us would need any type of surgery.

I have no information to share with you. I had the RYN because that is what I felt I needed, it was a prefect fit for my life style and habits.

Wishing you the best of luck in every choice you make!
