Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hello All, I've been lurking for a few days and now feel okay about jumping in and saying Hi. I'm 47, have been fat my whole life, and have a Lap RNY scheduled for April 4th. To say I'm excited is the understatement of the year. Being a worry wort, now I'm afraid some weird disease will show up at the pre-op appointment and keep me from having the surgery. I probably won't breathe easy until I wake up and they assure me I did indeed get a tiny stomach and newly rerouted intestine. I went to a new family doctor last July. I had been off of blood pressure medications for two years because I had a very bad experience with the family doctor I was seeing, and just stopped going back or to anyone else. Finally I got scared by how red my face would get after a little exertion and I found a new doctor. He suggested WLS on my very first visit. It was astounding to me to even think about it. I had heard about WLS in the bad old days when the only surgery they did resulted in lifelong diarrhea or worse. I told the doctor I'd do some research and tell him at my next visit, two months ahead, whether I thought WLS was for me. I was so excited when I read about the lap Rny, and then to find out a doctor right here in our small town does this surgery. I've learned a lot from you here on the list. Thanks for being so open about sharing everything. Vicky Pre-Op with Surgery Date 04-04 BMI 63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi Vicki...... I am 40 years old and had my gastricbypass on Nov 20 2001. What a blessing..... I was 317 lbs the day of surgery, now today i am 266 lbs. I am having a hard time pulling away from the 266 lb mark. I went in and weighed myself on the clinics scale today and weighed the same as i did on the 19th of Feburary. I was really bummed. But then i happen to run into the surgeron and he said not to weigh myself for a month instead of weekly. He figured it had to do with my muscle mass or what ever he was trying to say. Anyways he didn't sound to concerned. I just need to keep plugging away and drinking my water. God Bless you Vicki and keep me or us informed on how your doing ok?

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Userkam reports the same experience as most of us but with a new twist. Wiley now doesn't want the support group members to email each other??? This fits with why there is no public Wiley forum. Every time they go public, the facts come out and the protocol is exposed for what it is. That there is no public discussion is also consistent with the cult format. We were rooting for Wiley to work when the protocol first came out. But we didn't realize back then that some of the interesting theories in the book had only been tried, by her own admission, on her "girlfriends." The few practitioners left prescribing Wiley don't seem to know the facts. It's their licenses at risk for not doing due diligence. Wiley has nothing to lose. She has no license. Wiley still continues to accuse the injured patients, the pharmacists, ABC News, Newsweek, doctors who speak out, and the internet in general as having a "vendetta" and waging a "smear campaign." I'm sure the people who have sued Wiley and her family are accused of the same thing. Or those who discovered footnotes in the book were bogus. Her own publicist admits she has to put press releases on the internet to get something positive out there about the protocol because of so much overwhelming criticism. To all those new to the Wiley Protocol: I wish there had been a rhythmicliving group when I first read the book. Lynne My opinion on her: she has some good ideas, and has some good insights. However, I have to wonder if she is callously using the women who are currently on her protocol as lab rats. In fact one woman stated she said just that in one of her support meeting (i did not hear wiley say this). Maybe she is doing this to collect the data for when she actually does a clinical trial, that way the results will not look so bad as they currently are, who knows?. I would suggest you attend a few of the Wiley support groups, if you have one in your area. Wiley desperately bad mouths people whom the protocol has made ill, as well as the Doctors and Pharmacists that refuse to work with her any more (and that, to me, pretty much says a lot about who she is). If she truly knew her protocol worked, and was secure in her knowledge base, she would explain why you are having the symptoms (the science behind it, etc) and not just bad mouth people whom reported issues with the protocol (or not call them back to help them out). .... Interestingly enough, the support group I attended refused to give out the email addresses or the phone numbers of the other participants even after we all agreed we would like to share. We assume this refusal is because we were all having problems. We exchanged numbers in private, after the meetings concluded. Once we found out how many others were also having the same problems, the drop out rate began to flow. You might also read Bent Formby's report about progesterone cream and how it builds up in the fat tissue and causes many more issues. The Doctor I am working with recently went to a conference which reported exactly the same thing as Mr Formby's write up stated. It seems the medical community might be awakening to the problems progesterone creams cause. Check out AOL Money Finance's list of the hottest products and top money wasters of 2007.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I did wonder why there are no support groups online, at least none that I found. How long was it before you started to experience adverse symptoms? So far, I am feeling better. I am concerned, however, about the high dosages, especially given the fact that I am 45 - not 20.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi Theresa, I did pretty good for the first 3 months. I was SO depleted of E. But then, the problems started for me. But you might do just fine.I know 3 ladies personally who are on it and have been for a couple of years and are doing fine. None of them have had hysts. One is 48, one is 50 and the other is 52.
