I have heard that there is a list where post-ops congregate from time

to time. Can anyone tell where that can be found?

Dave, I have tried, they only let post-ops on. Would sure be helpful

to hear from the folks who have been there instead of many of us who

can only speculate as to what we are facing. Oh well, I am learning.

They only have post-ops on? Gee, that seems strange doesn't it? We pre-ops

could gain some very helpful insight to hear all the post-ops have to say.

We could get a lot of questions answered. Is something being hidden? What

do they talk about that they don't want us to hear?

This subject caused a big riff not too long ago. Let's not get another one

started. Please don't get offended. They are not hiding anything from us.

They just need a place to go to get questions answered about post operative

care without wading through all the insurance questions and cut-downs on Dr.

R's surgery. Hopefully we will all be there one day.

Peace and Love

Hi Again,

I'm not trying to get anyone " started " . And I am not offended either. I

can understand what you are saying, sort of that it is like a " dedicated "

line. And that is okay with me. Many times on this MGB line I've thought

that perhaps we should send some replies and questions specifically to the

one individual it pertained to just so the number of our emails aren't in the

hundreds daily. BUT, I for one would really benefit from the post-op

questions because that would help me KNOW what lies ahead for me instead of

the constant state of UNKNOWN that I currently reside in.

There are many post-ops that come to this site but usually just for a few

months. Here's my point, I now feel somewhat confidant that I would be okay

for the first few months after surgery. I would possibly be able to get this

same confidence if I could thumb through some older post-ops. Does this make

sense to you?

Your reply was that they need a place to go to to get questions answered

about post operative care without wading.....I assume that this is post-ops

getting advice from post-ops, right? If so, I sure could use hearing that

too. I apologize if I have offended anyone, that is not my goal. My goal it

to get all the info I can including and especially long down the road info.

Thank you for listening. Liz

Liz, You have not offended anyone. Your concerns and questions are very

important. Every night at 9:00 Eastern time there is a chat. And aside form

all the fun some serious questions get answered. Also If you post you

question here it will get answered by some loving post-op. Good luck on your

journey. And remember there are no dumb questions just some that get

feathers flying.hehe...

I too would love to chat with someone who has had the surgery a year or so

ago.

Liz-

What I meant was don't get offended because they have there own space to go.

There is nothing stopping you from reading off of their site but I believe

that Dr. R got it started so that post ops would not have to deal with the

shear volume of e-mail as this list gets. The people that post on that list

are pretty much the same ones that post here. If you go on to the onelist

search you will find it. What I am saying is that they just don't deal with

the insurance issues and MGB vs RNY issues like we do. Please don't get mad

at me I am just trying to help.

Thanks Trish,

Ain't it great to have support:) I have gone and chatted several times

and I did find it helpful. I guess that is where I got a lot of " what

happens the first few months " questions answered. Lately there has been

stuff said that leads me to believe there can be later " complications " .

There has even been talk of kidney transplants. All this " talk " scares me

and probably unnecessarily. I feel like if we had open communication with

the post-ops of 12 months plus, we would be very up to date. I'm just so

shakey about the fear of the unknown. Thanks for letting me blabber. Liz
