Guest guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 I am 2 years post op and just signed on to the newsgroup. Is there a newsgroup just for men? While I have learned a lot from the group, so much of it is really " too much information " for a guy. I am 59, have lost 140 lbs and now weigh 200. I haven't varied by more than 4-5 pounds in over a year. All of the clothes in my closet are the same size now, and everything fits! My bad cholesterol is 74 and it was over 300. I no longer take Lipitor for it. I take very little insulin now, don't need Actos for my diabetes, the sleep apnea is gone, I no longer qualify for a handicap parking tag. I am not a terribly compliant patient and still it has worked. Two years ago my primary care doctor told me that I would probably have a massive heart attack and die in the next year. I am 59 and had a cardiac bypass in 1995. My primary care doctor suggested that I go to the teaching hospital in Gainesville for surgery, since he had tried everything else possible. I went to the internet and found Dr. R. My doctor approved. My cardiologist approved as well. I gave each of them a booklet. Both doctors have recommended Dr. R to other patients and have had other patients call me to talk about it. My insurance doesn't pay for obesity surgery of any kind, but it was well worth the $15,000 it cost me. (Because of my age and heart condition, my doctor in Orlando requested that I recover in intensive care.) I'm alive, active, and doing well. Now I am looking forward to a tummy tuck to get rid of the apron. Life is grand. Thornley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Hi there lady! Well.. when dumped me, I faxed them messages every day until they got it fixed so, you may have to call them or fax them if it doesn't correct itself. aW --- RoCommisso1@... wrote: > Help anyone, > > I do not know why I can not get into the > groups now, I always did > before for the polls or anything else ( now is say > welcome guest---password > invalid) can some one help me.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 , Sounds like life is wonderful for you. I understand about us girls on the group --- maybe you should start a group for MGB men! However, we would miss you guys! in GA Re: New file (Help) I am 2 years post op and just signed on to the newsgroup. Is there a newsgroup just for men?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Dear , Your letter was truly an inspiration. I also felt very lucky to have had a word with my eye doctor of all people, who said ,when she saw how miserable I was, " have you heard about this doctor in Durham? " and proceeded to suggest I look into wls. I had asked 5 other doctors about obesity surgery, and every one said they either didn't know about it, or that it was way too dangerous. So we are lucky! Congratulations on keeping 1 size of clothing. I can't imagine this yet! My o.r. was Jan. of this year. I am a newbie. All the best to you.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Rosemary, Sometimes when I visit a password protected account I get it all wrong! Happens all the time to me. On the sign in page of there is an option to retrieve your info so that you can sign in. The link says Password lookup. Click on that then enter the information and they will send you the correct password.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 NOT JUST FOR GUYS! If only there were someone to weed-out the 'chit-chat' and stick with the 'topic at hand'---the MGB-----before,during and after and the information pertaining to our health and well being.-------W hat a pleasure it would be open all the emails and learn from others and share our own stories, either to learn or teach others about this miraculous experience. OR Maybe there can be a group for busy people who want to be a part(I always read Flo's, as they are informative, to the point, and always accurate) but do not have the time to go through so many at a time. Is there a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Sounds like you are doing great, .
