Topic: RE: Got a DATE!

Hey all,

 

Had my RNY on Monday the 3rd. Was a little more complicated and had to stay in the hospital,  Had scarring and adhesions on my stomach and liver from the band.  So they had to do some repair of my liver. Had to fix yet another hernia in my bellybutton.  Yuk.   Spent an extra two days in intensive care, blood transfusion and platelets.  Been poked and prodded so many times, I lost count. BUT!  Finally got home today and feeling really good. 

Just glad it's over.  My honey is taking good care of me and we have friends coming over tonite.

 

Onward!

Hey Kelly!

Thanks!  Looks like you've done very well with the band.  So happy for you!  Did you know that Debbie and Dave moved back a couple weeks ago?  They are on the Peninsula....somewhere...LOL

Take care.

Ask you primary Doc for a referral to the Pathways program at Madigan. You may have enough that they will accept you.  Can't hurt to ask.

Topic: RE: Spokane Support Group?
I'm two hours north of Spokane (half hour north of Colville) and I'm just starting the WLS process. I've seen the RN and dietitian. But I am interested in a group. I share a car with my wife, and since we're so remote, a mix of online/ in person meetings might work best for me.

Is there still interest in this?
