Surgery date set for 2-16-00
Hi everyone haven’t been on in a while Just
wanted to let everyone know my date is finally set. I’m
excited yet a little nervous at the same time. Now all I
have to do is complete my pre-op testing and my psych
evaluation and i’m on my way. I’ll keep in touch. Anyone
from the St. Louis area?

Hi Dbl D32,<br>I want to say congratulations on
your surgery date. I finally got mine too which is the
day before yours. I am also excited and nervous at
the same time. All I have to do is go for my
pre-admission testing and not gain any weight before then. Talk
to you soon.

HI!<br><br>I’m right across the river from St. Louis, in Illinois. Which Dr.
have you chosen for your surgery?

prepared for the surgery. Hope yours is a success with no complications. Keep in
touch and let me know how things go

Hi! <br> I’m not sure what your name is but I
noticed that Dr. Yates is your doctor, too. I had surgery
with him on Aug. 16, 1999 and have lost 81 lbs. He is
a very nice man and I am very happy with his
handiwork! <br> I’ll bet you are getting so excited!! It’s
only a month away. I saw Dr. Yates yesterday and was
told they are going to be moving their offices and
surgery to Forrest Park Hospital very soon. So soon that
they said my appointment next month could be changed
to that location.<br> I am a member of a St. Louis
Area support group you might be interested in. We have
32 members which I consider pretty good since we
have only been around for 3 months. We get together
once a month and have an absolute ball!!!<br>We are
planning to get together 2 x’s a month, one time being
some sort of activity like bowling etc. and the other
at a restraunt just to talk. We are strictly a peer
support group, and do not have speakers or anything like
that. If you are interested in us, you can e-mail me
and I will send you an invitational link to visit the
site. <br> I told Dr. Yates about the site yesterday
and he seemed very interested. He is setting up a
clothing exchange for his patients and that would be one
way to get the word out.<br> Would love to hear from
you. I know only2 or 3 other people from Il. who have
an interest in this surgery. Take care,<br>Karen
