Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Hello pre and post MGB-ers, I've been reading posts since beginning of sept. I hope to have the surgery this fall. I stumbled upon the MGB site after researching obesity. During early spring, I read all about the Bariatric meeting and Dr. Rutledges' planned presentation. I've been thinking about it, praying about it, and talking to my doctor about it all summer. Now that I've decided to go for it, I can't think of anything else! I did email 10 of the post-ops listed under patient contacts and heard back from 8. I'd like to talk by phone with some post-ops if I can . I have never had typing or keyboarding so this method of communication is painfully sloooooow for me. During all my hours of looking at the site I never clicked on the mailing list heading 'cause I thought that meant I'd get info from DR. R through the regular mail! Only after deciding to pursue the surgery did I click on mailing list to " get more info from his office " . What a wonderful surprise to discover that patients could actually talk this way! But alas, typing is still a chore for me. It took me 5 hours to do the online form (and I did it all on paper first). My teenage daughter finally took pity on me and helped. Otherwise I might still be at it a week and a half later. Email me with phone info if someone's interested. I'm a 46 y/o female with two heathen teenagers who'll probably turn out okay if I'm lucky.
