Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 I just signed on here but wanted to say that I started my new life on July 20, 2000. I weighed in at 321# pre op...and now three weeks post op I weigh 300#'s... I cant believe I lost that much weight already. I am so excited...I have been telling everyone what an angel Dr. R is and I think he was sent to earth to help us all. Without him and his staff and his surgery....I wouldnt be on my way to being alive, and human again...I have more energy, more optimism than ever. I am eating, or drinking I should say, mostly juices. apple, pineapple, orange, V8, cranberry, grape, you name it I drink it...I have my yougert everyday, I have some applesauce or broth and saltines if I need it. I have tried a few other real foods but very small amounts and it was fine. No problems with it. I will be glad to talk to anyone who is interested or needs contacts or wants to know anything. If asked to do it again, I would have this surgery again in a minute. but only if Dr. Rutledge was the doctor!!! I hope everyone else is doing well and look forward to hearing from you all. Im tired of the liquid Carafate...that stuff tastes awful....yuck!!! anyway...send me an email and Ill be glad to answer it take care, Jeanne Westcott safely on the other side.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 -Hi, I'm Alice. I'm still checking things out but I have decided this is the surgery for me. Your story sounds great! I hope you continue to have great weight loss. I may take you up on your offer as a contact! I am going out of town for a few weeks but when I get back, I am going to begin my search for a local physician to support me. Once I find one, then I am going to start with the packet. It's scary but I think I'm ready to get started on the process. Good luck to you and thanks for telling your story. -- In MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com, carebear3_12155@y... wrote: > I just signed on here but wanted to say that I started my new life on > July 20, 2000.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 I can't give you details. I can't even give you generalities. In fact......is there any truth to the rumor that if you don't use it, it grows back? Just checking. Not that this is the case. anonymous > > > > How come you didn't call upon me to talk about sex?
