Hi All,
I know how much you all like to help others who are walking or have
walked the same journey you have.  That's why I'm so excited about
this opportunity.
NDWLS has been contacted by a national media source who is
interested in speaking with patients who had to finance their
surgery.  If your insurance paid for your surgery then you would not
qualify.  However, if you had to take a loan from a bank, mortgage
your house, etc. you could potentially participate in a national
media story about this.  We are not at liberty to disclose the media
source but it's one that all of you know.
Ideally, they are looking for someone who is either pre-op or
relatively newly post op.  If you had to make sacrifices to acquire
the loan or to repay the loan that is of interest as well.
For those of us who've struggled to make it through all the
requirements to get to surgery - this is a wonderful chance to pay
it forward; to help someone else.
If you paid had to finance your surgery, please send me an email at:
ronas@...
and give me your contact info.  I'll give you a call and we'll see
if you can help out.
Thanks for being the great and loyal patients that you are!!
Rona

I truly enjoyed meeting with everyone last night and sharing
information,concerns, challenges and victories. I encourage everyone
who is post-op bariatric surgery and/or those of you who are
considering surgery, to attend. Those of us who are a little farther
along can possibly be helpful to the "newbies" and I know I certainly
was inspired by some of the "veterans" who were there, especially the
one who is 10-yrs post-op.

Dr. Stegeman is wonderful in explaining things. I agree that the
support groups are very important in our long-term success. The surgery
is our beginning- the rest is up to us, but we have wonderful support
from our doctors and medical staff.  I can't tell you how good I feel
when I leave these sessions. I am going to start attending the 1st
Thursday group also. Hope to see you all (and more) again in August.

I've been given a new lease on life and I know I can make the best of
it with encouragement received through these groups.

Kathi, you can attend the meeting even if you have not had your
surgery yet. I couldn't attend the July 10th meeting as I had just
had a Heart Catherization done and am tired. This was at my request
since my mother's side has a heart history. I will be at the next
meeting and am now waiting got my surgery to be scheduled.

It has taken almost two weeks but she called today and we actually made contact. She was very nice and they have no surveys scheduled for this month (July). That may be why it is taking a while. There is no urgency.

BTW- this is a one year committment guys. My contract is in the mail. So be patient...

Morning all,
Has anyone received a call back or been accepted. I did get a call but
am playing phone tag with Elizabeth Wood. I called again this morning
and left a message I am not sure if it is to late or what. Just
wondering if anyone was accepted or qualified. And what it is about.

Thanks.

I have not.  Only because we have been out of town on vacation . We leave again on the 15th.  I do plan on going after we return.
Where are you having your surgery?   I forgot to tell you that I had very little pain/discomfort. They use a pain ball that is left inside of you for 3-4 days. That helps with the discomfort.  The only pain I had was on the left side, near the rib cage.  Use a pillow to cough and hold your tummy for support. Ask for a trapieze bar  . It will be attached above your bed. Use it to slide out of bed  and to reposition your self. 
After you get home,  use Rachel Rays chicken broth or beef.  I  found  the taste was better.
Also, the sugar free fruit  Popsicles are great.  

I hope this helps.
Faith

Thanks for the information. There are quite a few movies I haven't
seen yet! I'm scheduled for July 17th at 4:30 pm. I'm so glad they
were able to get me in next week, otherwise I would have needed to
wait until summer of 2009 (I'm off for the summer). I was thinking
about bringing my own robe, my down pillow, and my body pillow (and
now a DVD player).

Have you been going to the support groups?

I had my surgery on April 28. at Methodist Transplant Hospital with Dr. Pilcher.  First let me say I am so glad I did this.  I have lost 35  lbs.
I would  bring a dvd player and some movies.  I didn't want to pay $10.00 a day for the extra  TV channels.  You can only watch so many  breast feeding  comericals.  I also just wore their lovely gowns , in case you have a drain in . 
Good Luck,   when are you scheduled?

waiting to hear on a surgical date. It's getting closer. I am getting
more excited and nervous day by day and hour by hour.

Any advice on what to do & not to do to prepare myself? I've read
EVERYTHING on the New Dimensions site. I'm looking for advice that
isn't the standard, "bring loose clothes and magazines" variety.

Morning all,
Has anyone received a call back or been accepted. I did get a call but
am playing phone tag with Elizabeth Wood. I called again this morning
and left a message I am not sure if it is to late or what. Just
wondering if anyone was accepted or qualified. And what it is about.

Thanks.
Celeste

Yes, I have them occasionally for breakfast.  I also have an Adkins protien bar from time to time when I need a meal on the run.
 
My other meals consist of lean protien (4 oz.) and veggies, with an occasional serving of fruit.
