Question:
Does anybody lives in Houston.........

I really need someone to talk, about RNY, surgery, I am having a little bit of anxiety, just thinking about it, I don't know anybody in here in Texas, because we just moved from California, and I have so many questions...Please if you have the time and you want to be my Angel or a friend email me....God Bless you all....    — Rosa M.

I can not answer your questions because I have not had my surgery yet, but we can talk if you like. I live near Houston. Dr. Alanis is my doctor at Neweigh. My friend has had it done, I ask her questions all the time. Do you have a surgery date yet, or are you waiting for approval. Please e-mail me if you would like to talk.

I also went through Neweigh but used Dr. Ferrari. His website says he has performed over 1000 bypass surgeries and has assisted in even more. You can see him directly via his office or go through Neweigh. MOst of the people that work there have had the surgery and they have a great aftercare program - free of charge. Good luck. I am 3 weeks post op and down 18 lbs.

Rose - I live in Houston too and there is a group of us who chat on [email protected] - there are 4 different support groups in houston, so depending on which part of town you live in, you can attend one of them.... Go to yahoo.groups.com and search for weight loss groups in Houston and the four groups will pop up OK... We are a great group of people, all of us are either post or pre-op... so you can have LOTS of friends to talk to and ask questions!!!! I hope this helps.. if you can't find it - email me directly at [email protected] OK.. I had my surgery Dec 6th, 2002 with Dr. Naaman and he is WONDERFUL... I've lost 73 pounds so far...
