Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 Hi everyone - Like many have said before - each of our surgeries is individual - just like us. Since my BMI was 63 pre-op Dr. Inabnet gave me two options for the surgery - Open and have everything done at once or Lap with two procedures - first the stomach and then several months later the intestines. Due to the fact of the high morbidity and complication rate of patiends over 60 bmi with laps. I am excited to tell you all that I have met my first " big " goal - and that is to loose 50 pounds!! I am 6 1/2 weeks out and am extremely happy!!!! I am also excited to let you all know that my second surgery has been scheduled - it will be on Oct 10 at Mt. Sinai with Dr. Inabnet! It is hard to be happy about such a trivial thing as my surgery - in the wake of all that is going on in our country this week. I almost feel selfish.....but am very thankful to have such a supportive group to share my happiness with. Mickey pre-op - 367 current - 317 50# gone forever!!!!! 7/31/01 Mt. Sinai - Dr. Inabnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
