If you could just write it on here and I will print it and send to her. Anything that will ease her mind or that she could show different people when they are unaware of life as a fat person or anything about the MGB that you have experienced. It really will help. She has fought back and told them that they don't know anything cause only Dr.R does this and they are like " Well I know other Dr. who do laparoscopic surgery " . So if you can, please send any info that would make her OK with it. I tried to tell her all I can and I can tell she is reallllllllllll worried. Can you help? Hugs!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2000 Report Share Posted July 17, 2000 Margie, Best of luck to you next week! I'll be in Durham too, arriving on Thursday with my buddy Flo, and Trish is picking me up at the airport! If you're still at the hospital Thursday afternoon, I'll come by to visit! If it would help, point your mom to my web site http://onhealth.com/women/in-depth/item/item,91744_1_1.asp <http://onhealth.com/women/in-depth/item/item,91744_1_1.asp> . I discuss my life as a fat person, why I chose this surgery, and weekly reports on my life since my MGB on May 22. They're a couple weeks behind since it has to go through an editor and stuff, but I'm down 35 lbs. now and I feel WONDERFUL!!!!!!! Thank God and Dr. Rutledge for giving me my life back. I have much hope for a much healthier, and happier future. Blessings, Amy. _____________________________________________ Amy S.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hi there Laurie, You looked pretty good last week. I hope your cold is better. I am not at goal I was told for my surg to be a success I need to be at 161 I am currently at 166.5 Dr. Hahn told me that I could stop losing anytime but they suggested maybe to be around 140 or so so about 20 something left to lose. I feel very good most of the time although I still have vomiting once a week. I wasn't too happy with the nutritionist appointment they don't update us gastric bypass patients as to the new vitamins they recommend. I bought some Centrum chewable vitamins because I am almost out of my bariatric advantage multi vits and she said they don't recommend using that well that is what my binder has listed she said do not take it that they want us to take either prenatal vits or some type of high something vits. I told her they really should send out information to any patient who has had the surg to keep us up to date. My labs were pretty good except for my folate and ferritin. Dr. Hahn said don't worry about either of them but I am concerned about the ferritin because of the research I have done it says even if the iron is ok if the ferritin is low then it could be a sign of sometype of anemia that could rear its head he wouldn't even consider answering me on that question. I am not supposed to go back to him or his associate until May at my year appt. I asked if they would do any more labs at that time he said as of now they didn't have a year lab slip yet.. Like I'm the first one to do this surg and get to a year or something? Well any way I hope you have A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING.. ROSELLLORY@... wrote: Thanks Rose! Are you at goal now? You look great!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hi Rose, thanks for the update. As for labs, get your PCP to order them for you. That's my plan. I have labs ordered for six months by dr OBrien. For a year, if they don't order anything, I will ask my PCP. It says in the binder that PCP is to order periodic bloodwork, to monitor vitamin levels, I think. I can't swear to it, though, because my binder is in a box somewhere. As for vites, I don't follow their recommendations. I take what Vitalady says! Actually, I haven't added the Magnesium yet, but I will at some point. My multi right now is the Kirkland dinosaurs from Costco...childrens chewables. I take vitalady's tender iron, three a day with a chewable C (I chew the iron). I take 2 750 mg calcium, a stress B twice a day, and one dry A & D. I need to up my iron, I think, I'm not taking the recommended amount. Oh, I forgot the sublingual B12. I take that first thing every day. The dietician phoo phoo'd everything extra I'm taking, and told me to switch to a prenatal. I'm not! I don't think they are as informed as they should be about supplements. Take care! Laurie __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL – Something to write home about.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Lauri You're right if you don't get the labs done when you should ask your PCP, and ask about any questions about the labs if you don't get them taken care of by nutritionist or surgeon. I can't say enough good things about Beth Wagner in Richmond she really stays working on things with me. Dr Baggs has been wonderful also. So I hope things go well for you too. Take care and have a Happy Thanksgiving. DonnaLLLORY@... wrote: Hi Rose, thanks for the update. As for labs, get yourPCP to order them for you. That's my plan.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hang in there Laurie it is a very slow process. I go up and down too. I went shopping after x-mas and actually got on a size 4 skirt but I didn't like it so didn''t buy it. I don't really want to get into too much of a smaller size I'm thrilled to be in a 6 and 8's I no I will have to though. I have about 18 lbs left to get to my goal weight. I'm starting to think about the plastic surg stuff but not sure when I should look into getting that done. I've lost all my bust by 13 year old daughter has a bigger bust than I do I. Thats sad. So needless to say the bust surg is the first thing to be done. Tomorrow is my 21st anniversary my husband is loving the new me so I'm curious as to what he might come up with. We had planned to go out of town together for the weekend but we had an uncle pass away so we have a funeral to go to on sat. I hope you had a wonderful holiday. Keep me posted on your progress. Enough blabbing for me. Hang in there Laurie we didn't gain the weight overnight and no magic pill or even our surg will take it away overnight although we'd all love that to happen. Your doing a great job keep a positive attitude you will get where you want to be. Take Care Rose LLLORY@... wrote: WTG Rose! A size six! Wow! I'm shooting for an 8myself, but we'll see!
