WOOHOO same date as me!!!!!

You  asked ...so please  do not get offended...

Was only offered RNY/labband with Kaiser... ended up choosing Duodenal switch after a battle with Kaiser and  my ULTIMATE  WIN   by   Dept of Managed Health Care  (DMHC) I will have my "choice" of WLS   not  Kaisers choice.  May 13, 2009 is my date!

I did not want  to  be  a diabetic like  my sisters,  I chose DS

I need NSAIDs for issues some unrelated to obesity. I chose DS

I did not  want  the chance to have the  possibility of regain and have a revision. I chose DS

I want to keep my pyloric valve and have full use of it. I chose DS

I did  not want the the remote chance of getting an ulcer in the closed off section of the remaining blind stomach... only to have surgery to  check it.
 you guessed  I CHOSE DS.


One more side note we make our own decisions on our health and that is why we are choosing  WLS  regardless of what TYPE of WLS we  have chosen for ourselves .I do not judge any one and I want us ALL to succeed on our  JOURNEYS to a healthier  and  hopefully happy lives.

My Goall  is to lose weight at a steady pace ..comply with the vit/suppliments/labs forever ..be a healhier person   & be active out side of my home,,

Wow!  Congrats!

Someone in one of the other boards I visit (the lightweights) told me about this blog.  The gal who runs it has literally hundreds of recipes that she has made WLS friendly.  She had RnY a few years ago.  The ice creams...yes ice creams...are sugar free and protein packed.  I figured us newbies could really benefit from her recipes and wanted to share.  Check it out!
