Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 Donna~ Hi. I am also a patient of Dr. Barzune. My surgery was in 1998. Back then Dr. B didnt have a message board or website so I started " Dallasites " which is also a yahoogroup. It is mainly local to those in Dallas Tx but we have people in the group that aren't from around " them parts " ...in fact I have since moved to Florida but I still moderate the list. You might want to look in if you haven't already because they have a couple of " nights out " planned. Disco dancing and a pool party I think! I am jealous! hehe Anyways, I also really like Dr. Barzune. I have had wonderful results under his care. I have never heard of the dexascan until this list and I wanted to ask him about it to see what he can tell me. I would be interested to have that test done to see what is going on on the " inside " . Congrats on your great weight loss. ~Hugs Melty~ Open RNY 5/1/98 -- -163 lbs Panniculectomy/abdomnioplasty 5/23/01 -- -15 lbs Dr. Lawrence Barzune in Dallas TX -- would recommend him 110% **I have been at goal and maintaining my weight for over 2.5 years. I have recently decided to try and lose 10-15 lbs if possible and tone up the flabbies! Hello everybody I'm so glad I found you. WE have a message board through my Dr but most of those people are preop or just had the surgery. I had rny in april of 99 weighing in a 250 I'm now 120-125 depending. I have a question on something yall mention a desascan or something like that. WHat is it? I take calcium. I live in friso TX and Dr Lawernce Barzune did my surgery. He is a wonderful DR I have seen him every month since 99 and he doesn't charge. He makes us do blood work every 3 months to check your levels. He also make us take a multivitamin and prescribtion for minerals and iron called trinscon or foltin. Anyway I look forward to chating and sharing experences. Oh my mother and sister had the rny also. Is there a place that you can share photos I didn't know if they can be attached on these things.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 melty, Thank you so much for your response. I also love DR barzune he is wonderful. The aftercare he gives is what really works because once the honeymoon stage is over with the gastric bypass and you stop losing it's easy to get lazy if you don't have accountablity. I will check out dallasites! Florida wow how wonderful I have always wanted to go there I bet it's beautiful.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Is it a fear of success being too stressful? Is it fear of failure? I have a long history of going the distance only to sabotage myself when things got/get " too good " . When I was very successful, the stress of maintaining it, and the fear of failing caused me such agonizing anxiety. Is it lack of self esteem in the sense of you don't really believe you can do it? Some things to ponder...things someone else passed on to me. " Live in the solution, not the problem " is a piece of advice I find useful to calm my fears and stress.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009  Yes Colleen... welcome to our Air Family as Peggy named us. Check out the files, lots of info there and even photos! Tell us in what State you live and do you have family to support you? I'm Sher and I was dx (diagnosed) three years ago and remained stable until lately. Many here have lived with our disease for 10 years and more so don't be afraid you're going to die next month. What you call breathlessness we here on the board call short of breath (SOB). And many are on O2, each need it differently in different amounts. When you write please add your name and State so we can remember who you are. I'll be watching for your posts. MamaSher; 70, IPF 3-06, OR. NasturtiumsDon't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!
