Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 >>> I had Open RNY surgery on February 22, 2002 at Morehead City Hospital with Dr. Bell doing my surgery. I have gone from 288 pounds to 170 pounds, am now off of my two diabetes meds, and one blood pressure med. I have been a member of Obesityhelp.com since before I had the surgery, and when I heard about this site for longer post- ops, I came here hoping to become a part of a group of caring, supportive folks.I am looking forward to meeting and talking with you all!<<< Welcome, . I am sure that you will enjoy this group and learn a great deal. I have been a member since about a year pre op (Lurking until my one year post op anniversary, of course) and love the group.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Yup, he's one of mine!! Welcome to the group ... Here's some basic rules... Fish is NOT food. There are no other flavors except chocolate. Milk is for baby cows. What others am I missing folks? Sue in Las Vegas New member Hi eveyrone, My name is Valencia, and I live in Las Vegas. I am 39 years old. I had an open RnY on February 24, 2001, by Dr. Barry Fisher. I started at 365 lbs and lost 160 lbs. in the first 10 months. I have maintained my weight between 200 and 205 since that point. I would like to loose another 10 lbs. but these have been the hardest 10 to lose! I know it will take a lot more determination and will power to get over these last 10 but we'll see what I can do to make it happen. Oh yeah, by the way, Hi Sue.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Phyllis, Now, no offense, but that's just weird. Effexor is an anti- depressant used by many Dr.s as a diet drug. Your body (not you) must be bass ackwards!! Go figure... Vicki A. > ok here is a confession. Since starting Effexor 3 weeks ago I can't stop > eating.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 LOL well I never said I was normal! I know they use Wellbutrin for appetite suppression, never heard of effexor used for that. However I very well may be following in my mom's footsteps, she seemed to always have the direct opposite effect from meds then what you were supposed to!

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Cindy, I think I will lose weight the same way as you. I lose a few pounds, stay there quite a while, and even go back up, then drop down suddenly. I am 7 weeks out and have lost (ONLY) 32 pounds. I know I am impatient. I hope to have lost as much as you in 8 months' time! Janet > dgallar2994, Welcome. This is a great group. Alot of help, advice, and opinions go through here. I had my surgery on 11/24/03. I am down 108lbs. I hit plateaus many times. I will loose about ten pounds then plateau again. Irritating but that is how it works for me. Sometimes the plateaus last for weeks. I have another 50-60lbs. to go to reach my goal. Cindy in MI 316/208/145 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Tee, I don't have your insurance but do have an HMO. I too had to jump through quite a few hoops. I luckily was not required to loose 10% of my body weight because I haven't. We are all in the same boat here so feel free to ask any questions. By the way, what does y/o mean? Just curious.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi Tee, Welcome to the group! I'm in the Washington DC area as well. I'm in College Park, land. I am in the same process and have an HMO as well. My insurance is Optimum Choice. They require 6 mths doctor monitored weight loss and a psych eval. I am just finishing month 3. My PCP wants a sleep study and stress test done. They happen in the next few weeks. I am going to Washington Hosp. Ctr and the surgeon is Dr. Kirkpatrick. I have not met him yet. That will happen Oct. 25th. Maybe this saturday if he is at the support group meeting. Feel free to e-mail me. (gcoliton@...) I have been doing a lot of reading about wls to make an informed decision. Keep us posted on your journey. Gloria --- Tee wrote: > Hello all ..
