Hey! Welcome Barb... glad to see you made it! These are the nicest bunch of folks on the planet... They are all running off to a gathering this weekend, so it might be a little slow... I think it is a giant orgy, but I got a new job so I couldn't go

Yeah I gotta say them OH get togethers caaaan get kinda crazy and that is all I gotta say about MYYY get togethers I have attended.   Just got back from GB last Tuesday and MAN I really hate coming home it is SUCH  a let down!! Oh well I have made some GREAT friends and we always keep in contact and get together as much as time/money allows!! Thanks again Marc

Hi Marc, so you got the job!!!  Great, congratulations.  Am I in a pain killer fog or did I read somewhere that your wife was having surgery on her rotator cuff?  How did it go? Debbie

Thanks The surgery went well... the doctor said that the last surgery she had on the same shoulder was not done right.. the tendon was attached too low and part of the tendon was dead. He had to cut it and reconnect it, plus sew up the tear in the rotator ... She is with you in that pain killer fog and will be out for a couple of weeks even though it was done lap... Thanks for asking about her... she'll like that

you got the job???????? cool beans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Barb. This is a great support group -- so glad to have you join us. I'm pre-op; there are folks in this group at all different stages. I learn something every day on this site -- sometimes about WLS, but a lot of times about living life to the fullest. Marilyn W.

Thanks Marilyn!!  Yes it is always a learning process even at almost 5 years out for me!  Wow I was just in your state last week got home this past Tuesday.  I LOVE TN!! Good luck with your process.  Do you have a date yet?

LOL I was startign to get a complex Yup I sure did have Dr Shapiro.  He is retired now so I need to hook up with a different surgeon for my follow ups.  I REALLY need to get on that.
