Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 Hi everyone My name is . I'm a 33 y.o. female from Rockville, MD. I'm new to the group (thanks to Vitalady [] for the invite), and I just wanted to say hello, and introduce myself. I had Open RNY with Dr. Osvaldo Anez in January 2001 (my 18 month anniversary is next Monday). I'm 5'10 " , started at 304 lbs. (although I believe I reached a higher weight, that's what I was the day of surgery), and I am currently at 179 lbs. (loss, so far, of 125 lbs.) I have really been slacking in my follow-ups with Dr. Anez. I went regularly for the first couple of months, but once the stitches were out and I'd gone back to work, I felt fine and just stopped going. But over the past couple of weeks, I've noticed that I am able to eat a bit more than I have been in the past, and I've also been getting heartburn off and on (I had GERD prior to surgery), so I got on the horn to Dr. Anez's office pronto, and I have an appointment next week (on, wouldn't you know it, my 18 month anniversary). I'm sure I need to have labs done, and I'm going to request an Upper G.I. (if he doesn't recommend it first) - I just want to make sure there's no leaks or staple line disruption going on, you know? So, that's about it for me. Glad to meet y'all! skbryan@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
