Hi Steph...I live in Columbia and will be having my surgery soon at Baptist Hospital with Dr. Tribble.

Hey Ramona! I had mine at Lex Medical Center and it went great. A good positive outlook is the best thing to have! I'll help you any way I can! I'm in Lugoff so you're not too far away at all!

Hey Barb!

So how do you feel now that it's almost 2 years out??? I know you're probably been asked that 100 times, but I'm always curious to know the long term results! Do you get to eat more than the 1/4 cup that I have to eat now? It seems so small!!!!!

Steph I feel great 2 years out.I still dump on sugar and cannot eat much meat.It kind of puts you in the position of eating the wrong thing. I need to lose 20 pounds to get back to 175.I am going to get back on track after Christmas..Love to hear from you. Barb

Will be having bypass by Dr. Strickland at Lexington Medical Center. I probably won't be able to attend LMC support group because I work on Wednesday nights.
