Noticing the date on the calender caused me to recognize that ten (10) years ago on June 16, 2003, I took a step that forever changed my life. I had weight loss surgery (RNY) and lost 180 pounds. No more diabetes - no more sleep apnea were just a few of the healthy side effects. It has been a roller coaster of mostly highs, but some lows too, but I would do it all over again cause it has been a learning experience that has given me the life I have now!  I have managed to stay within 20-25 pounds of my lowest weight after WLS.

 

 

 

Hello Lois

I believe that there is still a group that meets at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch ... it is associated with a Dr Borao's office there and has the Nurse practitioner, Psychologist, and Dietician that usually attend the meetings. We did have a group in Toms River and Lakewood ... but the interest in the last yearplus  has not been strong, and it was strictly volunteer run and there were not too many new people attending. I am also over 7 years out and miss the meetings. Try the Monmouth Medical Meetings on the 4th Thursday of each month in Monmouth Medical Center in Stanley 212 and 214 rooms.

Good Luck ... hope that it will be helpful!

Hi Sheri
How are you. I finally found a doctor for my fills. I was very upset about the passing of Dr JB. I just found out today. Hope all is well with you.
