Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Welcome , I think you will find this to be a very warm and welcoming list I myself am just beginning to post and have been overwhelmed with the good advice and support available. If you are in phase one of all this, I guess I would say I am in phase two--I have researched all of this and know it is for me, and now I am trying to make it happen, but still a long way to go The surgery I seem to hear the most positive things about is the Roux-en-y. Not only does it reduce the size of your stomach, it also changes how you absorb sugars, fats, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Thanks Lyssa! Let me introduce myself. I live in Brunswick, Maine, I'm 31 yrs old, 5'6 " and I'm 250(ouch) I've tried it all from WW, calorie counting, eating when hungry, slim-fast and I'm at my wits end. It seems as thou everything I try, I gain. Like I told Lyssa, I feel like I'm going crazy. I can't live in this fat body anymore. I'm in the first stages of learning about the surgery. I don't know what the best kind to have is. I started reading the website info that Lyssa sent. I read a lot of good things about Dr. Aslam. I don't know anyone else. At this point, I'm open to any suggestions or comments that anyone has.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 there is a support group for Dr.Aslam that meets the last Thursday of the month and DR. D'Augustines in ton meets the first Monday of the Month except this month it will meet the 10th I think. I like him a lot but you have to wait awhile to get in to see him, I had thought about changing to see him , instead but I don't think I will.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 He does lap!? WAH! No thats great .. are you going for lap Ruthann? I don't mind my scar it being only 3 1/2 " long .. but still now I'm being vain thinking wouldn't it be nice not to have this oh well! I truly don't care the surgery was a blessing and ds I didn't realize he did. I thought only the one doc in NY did it around here. Thats great to have choices.
