Guest guest Posted September 5, 2000 Report Share Posted September 5, 2000 Dinah, That is wonderful! Did you think you would be the only one this surgery didn't work for? hehe That will be me. LOL I am so happy for you! Glad to hear you are feeling good now. That is an expensive pill to take, huh? Sure hope ins will pay for yours and mine too, let me know, we have the same ins.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2000 Report Share Posted September 5, 2000 Thanks Kristi, What is the latest on your situation. I'm sorry I haven't really kept up with the board. My 2 yo grandson is visiting and between him and work, I dont' get online much. I remember reading something about mexotreate (sp?) causing you a delay. What is the latest?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 Hey guys, just wanted to ask a question, I had my surgery on September 1st and had my gallbladder out in 96 well, I went to get the staples out and ask Dr. R if I needed to take the Actigall since I had no gallbladder he told me that since I was feeling great I didn't need to I have seen some posts on here about how expensive the drug is and I have a bottle of it at home sitting in my cabinet if anyone is interested in it drop me a line. >From: missdebby@... >Reply-To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com >To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com >Subject: Re: FAILED SURGERY >Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 13:15:20 EDT > >, >No squishy sanctamonial bull - just wondering what Dr. R. says about this. >Has this happened to anyone else?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 Hey stranger, I was hoping I would see you again on here. I wanted to thank you for the idea Tuesday. The staples were a breeze didn't hurt at all. I feel great and I am starting to eat a little again, I tried chicken and potatoes last night and of course I ate too much well my new tummy let me know pretty darn quick that I best lay off, I found myself hugging the thrown for a while. Anyway, good to see you here, hope to chat with you again soon. >From: mmhammy@... >Reply-To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com >To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com >Subject: Re: Actigall >Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 14:44:44 EDT > >hi april, >I met u at the clinic on tuesday.
