newbie near Coshocton

Hi there.  I am just starting my WLS journey.  I go to see my PCP this Monday 8/18 to discuss it again.  The last time I was there he basically sent me off on my own to give weight loss a try and I have failed miserably.  I gained.  UGH. 

But I am hopeful that maybe he can get me in with a dietician and that will be beneficial. 

Anyway, this site is so full of info for me and people seem great.  I just wanted to introduce myself and maybe get acquainted with some of the people here.

Carrie,

My name is Tabitha.  I live in Newcomerstown which is about 40 minutes from Warsaw.  I had my gastric bypass surgery in June, 2006.  If there is anything I can help you with, let me know.

Thanks so much for responding Tab.

Where did you have your surgery done and who did it?

How are you doing now 2 years later?

I had my surgery done by Dr. David Fallang at Riverview Health Institute in Dayton, OH.  Unfortunately, he no longer performs the surgery.  However, two years out, I am doing fine. I just had my yearly labs done, and everything is A-OK.

Welcome Carrie- This is a great place to learn more about your options.  I was a lurker for 6 months before I finally posted.  Now I am scheduled for WLS on August 28th.  I frequent the boards more often now.  Glad you posted and hope i can help with any questions I can.  If I can't there is a great support group here at OH and someone will know how to help. Congrats on taking your first step toward weight loss by joining the forum.
