Guest guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Hi, my name is Jacque, and I have an appointment Oct. 27th for my initial consult with Dr. Sudan in Omaha, NE, for the BPD. I have been overweight for much of my life, but the past 5-6 years I am putting it on something fierce. Monday I had the dubious distinction of passing the 300 lb mark -- 303 to be exact. Tuesday I had an ultrasound on my gallbladder and am waiting for the results. I hope and pray they tell me it needs to come out so my initial consult can be bumped up. I don't know how I'm going to be able to get through another summer feeling as awful as I do. I am married, no children, 2 chows, and 3 cats. I am a secretary at a university, but wish to join my husband in working from home as a computer consultant. I also have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, hypertension, unexplained skin rash on my arms and chest, IBS, sleep apnea, & restless legs syndrome. Monday evening I attended an informative session at UNMC in Omaha with Dr. Sudan and a plastic surgeon. I think it made me feel like yes, this is really going to happen. I have two friends who have had the surgery and they are doing great. One has even gone off any diabetic medication. They are reclaiming their lives and I want to do the same! Thanks, Jacque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
