bye for now

[Guest guest]

I talked to my doctor today and he said that he saw no problem at all with

MGB. He said the he had just referred at pt for it just last week, but to a

doctor in Winston Salem, NC instead. I have heard of him also, he is supposed

to have been trained under Dr. R but hasn't even done 25 MGB's yet.

He told me that it was his job as my doctor to keep me away from surgery if

at all possible. He said since I am not " grossly (sp) obese " and that I am

still pretty healthy he thinks I should wait. I was dx with depression again

today... I knew it was coming..and my BP was really high to. I have to go

back next week to talk to him and recheck my BP to see if I need to start BP

meds.. God I hope not!!!

He also recommended the Atkins diet. SOOO WLS is off for now until I get my

other problems under control a little better. I figure this way I will have

one more doctor followed diet to add to my list if nothing else!! Also, I

found out I am 244 so I have a BMI of only 39 instead of 40!!! I mean

PLEASE!!! Give me a day and I will make it, you know!!

so, for now I am stopping my MGB journey and will try this Atkins thing for a

while.

I will be reading on the web now... so I can keep up with everyone.... But I

sure I will be back!!
