Obesity surgery

i all!!!<br><br>Dan I read your
post…super…..you are bang on…not all the doctors are right..alot
of it is trial and error combined with their
expertise and training….you sound very well versed and
use alot of common sense…thanks for the
info…<br><br>Bob I will be in here Friday night after 8PM…for
sure at 9:00PM.I’ll check to see if you are here and
then if not will pop back later…or you can just tell
me when you would be here. <br><br>I checked out
another website informing me about the procedure in
Canada and it sounds like I am a candidate for this…so
I will be making an appointment tomorrow to see my
doctor for a referral…I now can ask some intelligent
questions thanks to all you guys…I’ll keep you posted on
my progress….I’m really starting to get a very

ello Everyone,<br><br>It saddens me to see that
Wendy has left our support group. She is a kindly
person who gave many of us words of
encouragement.<br><br>Having said that, I must respectfully disagree with
Wendy’s reasons for leaving. Her doctor, and
individually, none of our doctors have a monopoly on medical
knowledge. None of them have all the answers or best answers
to all our questions or all our problems. Unlike
with professionals in other fields there is a
temptation for each of us to treat our doctor like a Pope.
Like a source of infallible truth. Medicine is not
religion. We are not required to have "faith" in our
doctors. That is why groups like this are so valuable and
so important.<br><br>When I first consulted my
family doctor about weight loss surgery he looked at me

i gang, just wanted to say goodbye and God bless
to all. You have all been so supportive and helpful
and I will miss everyone. I’m 2 weeks post op today
and see my doctor for the first time since surgery,
tomorrow. <br>I am unsubscribing from the support group
because of all the varying post op info that’s provided
and I’m getting really confused and depressed. I am
trying my best to stay with my own doctor’s prescribed
plan and feel miserable.<br>I want to thank Helen for
all her help, counsel and suggestions, also Corinna,
Dan,Cheryl, Terri,<br>and everyone else that’s contacted me.
I wish you all the best and the Lord’s special
blessings.<br>Wendy….Clearfield, UT

ust wanted to say I’, still around. I’ve been
working different shifts and my sleep schedule is sure
messed up. I have been keeping up with all that you
write. I think I may have over did it last weekend
because my stomach muscles have been very sore to the
point that when I get up an walk it hurts. On the unit
that I worked on last weekend there were only myself
and one aide for 32 residence and most of them need
turned and linens changed, so I kept hitting the
siderails with my stomach and I think that is what made me
hurt so bad. I’m starting to feel better, but I sure
it will take a while to build up my muscles.<br>We
are finially having nice weather where I live. I
can’t wait to be able to swim. This coming weekend I am
going to start cleaning the pool. That takes about a
