Looking for Suz

Twice Shy · September 20, 2011

I signed on here a month or more ago and then got nervous about this because I have already had a gastric bypass about 18-20 years ago and my weight is almost back up to where I began. Someone who responded to my posting kind of scared me into putting off a re-do of my surgery but I just can't get this out of my mind and I want to try to see if the lap band can work for me.

In visiting the Jerusalem Hospital website one of the testimonials there was from a woman in Meridian Idaho named Suz. She indicated that she was a former bypass patient and had just undergone the lap band surgery at the Jerusalem clinic. As I am living in Idaho myself and I will be in the Boise area all this week, I would love to connect with Suz to find out how things are going since her surgery and specifically, how having the second procedure is working after already having the bypass.

If you are out there Suz, I would really like to pick your brain about your experience. Otherwise, if anyone has had an experience with getting the lab band after a bypass I'd really be happy to hear about your story as well.

I am pretty determined this time that I am going to go for it, but it would be nice to have some peace of mind by talking with a real person about their experiences. So thanks in advance for anyone who responds.

Hello twice Shy, I am not Suz but I did have my surgery at the clinic. You can go to my blog and read it from start to finish. You can also PM me if you have any questions.

Good Luck.

Hello twice shy,

you should be able to go to the top right corner and in the search area type in SUZ and then click the down arrow and choose members. It will bring up all the suz and hopefully you will recognize her.

Good Luck!
