YAY You!  Go ahead and toot your own horn.  It is something to be proud of!  Yesterday was a bit overwhelming for me.  Got some news from my dads doctor and he will be having surgery first thing tomorrow morning.  Prayers are appreciated.  I have a recheck at my doctors this afternoon regarding some irregular test results that I got back.  I am very nervous because this could be a life or death thing for me knowing my family history.  Prayers for me are appreciated, too.  SInce this news my nutrition has been off and exercise is not happening!  I am doing what I can around the house with cleaning and laundry and my bending and walking thru the house with the nervous energy is the exercise I am getting for now.

I second Jackie's suggestion:  Bluepoint Surgical Group (Drs. Halmi and Tran).  They have offices in Northern Virginia and just opened one in Stafford.  They are a Center of Excellence. 

Best of luck!  :)

Good Morning all!  So how are you today?  Doing well here.  Managed to stay busy yesterday but at my own pace so it wasn't overwhelming.  After coming home from the mall I was able to take teh dog for a nice walk and relax a bit with the hubby before bedtime.  So let em just toot my own horn for a minute as I am super excited with myself, we do try to do some healthy goals at work & support each other.  My goal has been to get some exercise at least 3x's a week (starting off small so I can work my way up to it).  May I proudly say I have walked at least 3 days a week if not more for the last 5 weeks.  Yeah Me!!!!!

Dr. Elariny is in NOVA (can't remember exactly where) and he does all 4 procedures, so I think he's a great place to start for unbiased information on the band, RNY, DS and VSG.

Good luck!

Dr. Moazzez & Dr. Anez are two of the main ones in our area.  I personally chose Dr. Anez and have been very happy with my experience.  I believe both Dr.'s offer seminars so if you can go to both.

Check at Walmart, Target or the grocery store for the Splenda tablet container.  Small, about the size of a tic tac container & they have splenda tablets in them.  This is what I use instead of carrying the bulky ziploc bag.  :)

Are you drinking when you eat?  Remember...according to OUR surgeon's guidelines you should stop drinking at least 30 minutes prior to eating and do not drink anything for 45 mintues after you eat.  Reasoning...it washes the food out of your pouch leaving you feeling hungry again/  It is hard, but can be done.  I never thought I would get used to it but here I am almost 5 years post op and I still eat/drink that way. 

I strongly advise taking the time to pack lunches/snacks instead of fast food.  There is NOTHING healthy served in a fast food resturant.  Even the salads are loaded with yucky stuff.  Leftovers are usually my lunch of choice or a sandwich made on the thin bread or a wrap. 

I do wish you luck...getting back on track is a hard thing to do...we are ALL here for you!

Will you be at RIR for the spring race?  I am excited for another season to be underway!
