Topic: RE: Getting Closer to WLS
Lisa, yes I have too many baskets. I've run out of places to put them. I actually like the pottery better than the backets now. At least I use the pottery every day while the baskets just sit there and look at me.
I could not say for sure, but it seems to me that I have heard that Dr. Maguire does reversals. Best to call his office and ask. He certainly is one of the most experienced weight loss surgeons in Ohio and the surrounding area. 20 years from now it is hard to tell if I will have any cares at all, LOL, since I am 63 now. Did you ever have an ulcer problem before the RNY? Are you wanting to have the lap band now or just putting everything back as it used to be?
I had my psyc evaluation today and since they allowed me to leave without committing me I think I did good. Hard to tell though!

Signe,
One question.... do you have lots of longaberger baskets? HA! Just to let you know, I had RNY 10 years ago with Dr. Choban in Columbus (Mid West Surgical Associates). She is very nice but I am now having problems 20 years out with vitamin deficiencies and ulcers. I wish I had it to do all over again...I would of done the lap band. Now I am looking into reversal and trying to find a good surgeon in Ohio. I live north of Dayton. Do you know if Dr. Maguire does reversals? Dr. Choban said she never has done a reversal. The ulcer issue is the main problem. Constant gnawing sensation and nausea. Following the diet isn't bad. I dump when I eat too much, sugar or high fats. Have to lay down and my heart races. You think twice before eating something wrong again.

I had mine with Dr Teel from the same office. You are not crazy to go that far to their office , it will be well worth it. I had heard of the device you are talking about but did not do it because there are no long term studies on it's effects. It could be the best or worst decision you will ever make. If you truely want to change your life and use the surgery the right way you will not need it anyway.
No longer about weight , it's all about living.
Topic: Getting Closer to WLS
Hi, I'm Signe from East Central Ohio. I have had my first appointment with Dr. Maguire in Dayton and am going through all the pre-op testing. No date has been set yet. I was hoping to have a DS but my insurance will not pay for a DS, plus Dr. Maguire prefers not to do a DS on people over 60 and I am 63.
I now plan on having the Roux-en-Y. I will have to stay in the Dayton area for at least 2 weeks after surgery because I live 2 1/2 hours away. I have so many questions and concerns running through my head. One thing Dr. Maguire mentioned is that they can put a ring of some sort after the stomach on the opening to the intestine. He says it keeps the opening from stretching and allowing the food to leave the stomach too quickly. He said it is new and there are no results of the side effects. Do you know of anyone who has had this? Part of me says I don't want any foreign objects in my body that can go wrong and another part of me says to take advantage of the opportunity. What do you think?
Another thing on my mind is if I am being foolish to go all the way to Dayton when I could get this done in Columbus? I am going to Dayton because of the things I've heard about Dr. Maguire but are there doctors in Columbus just as good as him?
Are there any good support groups on the east or north side of Columbus? I have not heard of any in Zanesville or Newark, so Columbus would be the closest to me.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I know thousands and thousands have gone through this but for some reason I feel very alone in it.
