5/08 - I've been overweight for a very long time, and can't lose the weight. Recently I had a clutzy injury and broke my r leg and l foot and screwed up my r foot so it's arthritic and out of alignment. I need help getting this weight off. The weight came on semi-gradually - as gradually as Ben & Jerry's and dinners out. Our family has changed our eating habits and we are working harder on exercising, but i need help. I told my dh that I wanted to do it, and he was supportive, which is very good. He has a co-worker that had lap RnY so he had me get in touch with her for suggestions. My college roommate (from oh so long ago) had lap band surgery around the same time, so I have two contacts with experienc which is nice. Have consulted with Dr. that only does Open RnY's. He was very nice, but, Open is a little scary, and a co-worker of my dh had lap RnY and she said check it out, please. So I have an appt. on july 2 with Newton Wellesley and Dr. Partridge which I've heard very good things about.
