Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hi ...I'd be glad to come over to the Clackamas Town Center area to see you! In 2 weeks I have my first bariatric appt. - we will go over all my medical history, medications, attempts at losing weight, and co-morbidities. We'll talk about types of surgeries. The one I think would be best for me is called a BPD/DS (biliopancreatic diversion with partial lateral gastrectomy and duodenal switch.) If they think another is best, I'm sure they'll tell me. Then I make an appointment with the surgeon. I was thinking surgery might happen in June, but I'm feeling like things are going to move along more quickly! I've been attending support groups, and even having dinner with post-op patients...the social part was my biggest fear, but I'm actually enjoying it. I'll keep you posted! I sure hope you feel MUCH better soon! I'm taking Humira inj. every week now, with Mtx., and I think it is starting to help! Hugs & love....
