Hi, my name is Cindy Thompson and I live in San Antonio, Texas. On
November 12th I will be having the Rouen Y Gastric ByPass surgery for MO.
It’s been a long travel road for me. I am 37 years only and from 1992 to
1999 I was in TOPS, Take Off Pounds Sensibly. This was of great support even
though I didn’t get the end result that I wanted and this is to be a
healthier person. After 1999 I just gave up on it all. My husband has had
two kidney transplants and multiple surgeries that has needed all my
attention and somewhere along the line I just got lost. Well about 2 years
ago my mom mentioned to me about the GBP and that I should check into,
because she didn’t want me going through all the stuff that she had. HP,
Diabetes, HC and many other health issues. I talked to my husband about it
and we decided it was to risky. But what we did not do at that time was do

our research. But then in March of this year Mark, my husband was visiting
our sister-in-laws family and they started talking about GBP su y 2 and half
weeks I will be recieving a gift from our Lord in which He has provided Dr.
Steggeman with the ability to do this surgery.
If there is anybody who would like to ask me questions feel free. Maybe
I can help you, even if its just listening.

But then in March of this year Mark, my husband was visiting our sister-in-laws family and they started talking about GBP surgery that one of the family members had last summer. Well this got Mark excited about researching and when he got home that evening he woke me up and told me all that he had <!--more--> learned. This is when I start thinking that maybe It was time I started taking care of me. So I went to my PCP and he referred me to the San Antonio Surgical Consultants for Bariatric Surgery. This was the best thing I have ever done. I started going to their support group, Staple Mates every 2nd Wednesday of the month and going to their website, sabariatrics.com and did my research and finally decided that this was what I wanted to do. Due to my health issues, HP, HC, Sleep Apnea, Previous Spinal Surgery, Hypothyroidism and being over 100 lbs overweight my PCP contacted the Surgeon and they were able to move up my seminar date. I truely believe that through this whole process, God is the one who's been in control of all the specifics because for this to have happened so quickly, 9months of processing, it's not really long at all. In only 2 and half weeks I will be recieving a gift from our Lord in which He has provided Dr. Steggeman with the ability to do this surgery.
