Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 Hi guys, My name is Elaine and I'm getting " the packet " ready. I already have a couple of patients contacts but I would really appreciate a bunch more. I'm sure you all remember what is needed but just in case you need a reminder I would be happy to send you the list of questions. Thanks Doris for already volunteering. You're the best! Sperb, thanks to you too, I'll look forward to hearing from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing wonderful. No problems. I am one of the slow losers, which is ok. I had my surgery on 4/10/00 at 218 pounds. I'm 5'5 " . I'm am at 153 right now. I just hope I will lose a little bit more!! This is the best thing I have done!! No more medicines!!! That in itself is worth it. Thanks for asking. Take care. Tonni 4/10/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 Tonni-- 65 pounds in just over 7 months? That's slow? Sounds pretty great to me! I'm interested because I think I'm going to be a slow loser. I had my surgery on 11/9 and weighed in at @ 236 according to my home scale. Now, 17 days later I weigh in at @ 226. So 10 pounds in that period of time has me a little worried. I guess as long as it's going down. 5'5 and 153--you sound like a pretty normal size. Sure, not skinny, but buying normal clothes. Congrats!!!! Love, Sperb ( in California) >>> BigTBull@... 11/26/00 07:20PM >>> In a message dated 11/26/2000 9:35:16 PM Eastern Standard Time, SFRYE@... writes: > Tonni, > Hi, this is in GA, I e-mailed with you and used you as a > contact.. > Please, give us an update... > How are you doing? > Lost any more weight? > Having any problems?? > Thanks, > in GA > > > , I'm glad I could help, or hope I helped.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 , 10 pounds, that is good! It sounds like you might lose like I have, which is ok, because not being 100 pounds overweight to start, I was afraid I would lose to fast and to much. I figure an average of 10 pounds a month. Not bad! I sure couldn't do it on my own. Good luck, Tonni 4/10/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Dear Tarri, I would really appreciate your help as a contact. I have to be nosey and ask the required questions like when did you have your surgery? How much did you weigh then and now? How were Dr. R and his staff? Did you have much pain? How long did it take to get back to work? Would you do it again? I'm almost done the packet!!! Whoopee!!!!!!!(LOL) Thanks again, Elaine > Elaine, > If you still need a contact, let me know. > Tarri in Missouri > MGB 09-29-00 > 329/279 > Newcomer needs help > > > > Hi guys, > > My name is Elaine and I'm getting " the packet " ready. > > I already have a couple of patients contacts but I > > would really appreciate a bunch more.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Dear Elaine, I had my surgery on September 29, 2000. I am 5'11', preop weight 329 - BMI 45. Weight, as of yesterday, 279 !! Fifty pounds gone for good and I won't even be 2 months post op until the day after tomorrow. I found Dr. R to be a calming, compassionate physician. I wish I had his energy level. I am thankful everyday that he does not treat obese patients in the same way every other physician I had met prior to him did. His staff seemed harried but polite. I had no real pain to speak of and took off a total of two weeks (clinic, surgery, travel, everything.) I work 10 hour shifts and my butt was dragging that first week back but I'm back in the groove now. Congrats on nearly finishing your packet - that is the hardest part. Let me know if you need to fill in any other blanks.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Dear Tarri, Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it. I should be able to start filling out my patient contact form this evening. <<whew>>> one more thing done! (LOL).I can hardly wait for the big day but I know it will take a while to wade through formalities of the office and the insurance company. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!
