Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hello Everyone! I have been away from the group for quite sometime because it was taking so long to get my surgery approved that I thought it would never happen. Well... I finally had my consult at PB in SD and they said I am good to go. I had all the evaluations and everyone has to compare notes but I got a thumbs up from them all... woohoo! So now I wait for the surgery date. Dr. Zorn said it would probalby be next month and gave me a list of things to do in the meantime. I was suprized when he didnt tell me to lose any weight. I will be attending the support group in Santa Ana on the 15th. I am looking for a surgery buddy to help me along. I live in Buena Park, CA... is anyone from the area that would be interested? Hit me up off list and maybe we can meet at the support group. Thanks so much, kym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Kym, I am in Northern California so chances of us meeting are slim to none. Congrats on your progress and I hope you find a surgery buddy/angel to be with you through the rest of the process. Good luck to you.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Kym: I live in Riverside, just east of you. I attend Pacific Bariatrics support group in Corona that meets the 2nd Saturday of the month at 10am-11:30am. Next meeting is this Sat. 09/10/05. I didn't have surgery at Pacific Bariatrics, but I was told everyone is welcome at the support meeting. I had my surgery last June with Crown Bariatrics. I also attend their support group too on 2nd or 3rd Tuesday of the month. I noticed the PB meetings in Santa Ana are from 7pm-8:30pm on 3rd Thursday of the month, unfortunately I would never make the meetings on time, due to traffic. If you're interested in attending this Sat. leave me a message. > Hello Everyone! > > I have been away from the group for quite sometime because it was > taking so long to get my surgery approved that I thought it would > never happen.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hope you get to feeling better soon, sorry your in so much pain....Connieolehomepla wrote: Hello Everyone,Again I must apologize for not being active. Tracie I am glad you mentioned Kim...because I have been very worried about her too. Was anyone ever able to find a phone number for her kids? If you can send me her kids names by email I will try to find them. I lost all of her emails when my computer had problems. Darleen, you are truly a miracle. I envy you your good attitude. And to everyone else ...keep your chin up..I know it is hard to do I am still struggling with the pain from Shingles. While the lesions have healed up well on my face I continue to have pain. My late husband's best friend is a pain doctor. He has been so great over the years with injections into my joints for pain, but this time he won't do an injection. So he is referring me to another pain specialist who can do an injection into the 5th cranial nerve. Anyone had this done? I am very worried about getting this done, but I trust Steve completely and if he says this doctor can help I suppose I should listen. I have an appt to go over my medications with my NP on Weds because they won't prescribe Lyrica because it is contraindicated with something else I am taking and I hope that is something that can be changed. I am currently taking Neurotin and it has helped some. And to think I was worried about the scars on my face when this all stated I started back on Remicade.. this time I am experiencing a lot of bone pain after I took it. I know that is strangeTake Care To ALL.... And a big thank you to all of you who try so hard to keep this site going!Ruth No need to miss a message. Get email on-the-go with Yahoo! Mail for Mobile.
