pik got a reaction from Trayjay33 in In the hospital again
Hi there. I am nine months out now and doing a lot better. All of that happened to me very soon after my surgery. After that, I continued to have strictures, which I had while in the hospital as well. The surgeons finally admitted that was most likely the case but had never had a patient with strictures so early on after surgery.
I had to have five endoscopies to open them up, my last one being this January. I have been good since then.

They did the same thing with me and said the same thing, but there was a stricture. I would request an upper endoscopy if it continues.

I agree! Because fat people aren't pretty enough to wear their clothes. Once I lose my weight, I still won't go there!

I go to a monthly support group meeting at the hospital (Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA), but I was thinking something once a week or once every other week would be good. I have not meet anyone else who has had this surgery, other than at the hospital support group. There must be lots of other people in Northern Virginia, not only patients of Dr. James Mayes or Dr. J. R. Salameh. But how do I find them, and find out if they are interested in starting a group?

I think an offline (in person) support group for Northern Virginia would be a very good idea. How would we go about organizing one? I'm in Falls Church City.

@@Janett09 How was the hospital? Clean, sterile technique etc... I mentioned this to my husband & he said no because Mexico has different laws (I am sure less then the US). He was concerned about staph-mrsa, hep C etc...

You tell your fiance you have to go on another cruise to replace your fat pictures with skinny ones.

You realize that underneath all that fat was actually a small framed person. It's still weird for me that I fit a size 6.

It looks like Dr Halmi left. Their website is now metrobariatrics.com. The main page refers to them as Bluepoint-Inova. Interesting!

When your thighs don't rub together when you walk!!!! WOOTWOOTWOOT! I noticed that today and I was like...there is something wrong with my legs. I had to laugh when I realized it was just that my legs weren't rubbing together like they usually do. I don't mind having that wrong with me! =)

I usually do not offer it up but everyone wants to know how I lost my weight, and that is when it comes out.
