I'll offer to build it, if you all decide where you want to put it. Website

design & management is my business, so I'd be happy, happy, happy to build

such a map! As a matter of fact....

Last year, my girlfriend and I, purchased a domain name

(www.OdeTwoPhatChicks.com) and we plan to start hosting a support group near

the beginning of the year. Maybe THAT would be a good place for it. I hope

that Dr. R will link to this site too...

I've already got the main design worked up, and I'd love to start working on

the map you all are discussing!! Whatdya think?

You have my blessing, Cindy. Wish each person's site could be numbered, with

name and date of surgery available from that number, but that's probably way

too much, huh? PJ

Large map of US and each state is a link to a page where members from THAT

state have a short bio, email, picture, info about BM's (hehe), etc.....and

I wish every Post Op that posted would tell the date of their surgery,

weight before and weight after. I hate it when I read they lost a certain

amount but I don't know how much they started out weighing or how long it

took to lose that much. That's what gives me thrills.

Welcome

You've found a warm, and friendly place to be..

Only one person died from this surgery with Dr. R. I am not the one to talk

about the medical problems he ran into with her, but I do know that there were a

lot of complications, and I do know that Dr. Rutledge is an excellent surgeon.

I am just starting the journey of filling out the paper work and finding a

doctor that will treat me after. I weigh 370 and have been

overweight since the age of 11. I was born weighing 2.2oz and never stop

growing. I am really nervous about this procedure

but I know that I will die if I stay this way or have the chance of dieing

with surgury. Does anyone know how many people

have not made it through the surgury. I know of one I think her name

was.

Thanks the email are all great.

I have a friend her in Omaha that had it done it February and she hit the

100lb loss last week she is a new person. Wearing size 8 now. It is wonderful..
