Hope to see some SoCal pals at the FREE OAC Your Weight Matters Local event.

Here's the 411 on it: http://www.obesityaction.org/educational-resources/ywm-local -events

Please share the info with your surgeon's offices and support groups too... and really anyone who is interested in weight, health, nutrition, wellness.

Should be a fun day!! See you there.

Get a cane and look like you NEED it. Usually you will get a seat and that will get you around until you feel more on your feet ; -)

Topic: Looking for: CA WLSer willing to share experience at a faculty panel during Obesity Week
Are you a Californian (preferably LA region or nearby surrounding areas) who has undergone a bariatric procedure and are willing to share your experience with postoperative pain at a faculty panel during Obesity Week? (specifically: November 5th of that week) "In this educational activity, 4 leading bariatric surgeons will provide a detailed overview of the evolving landscape of postoperative pain assessment, evaluation, and management techniques, and will discuss the benefits and disadvantages of long-acting vs short-acting local anesthetics and opioids. As a key part of the program, the faculty panel will interview on stage a patient who has undergone a bariatric procedure, to explore his or her experience with postoperative pain, how the patient's pain was treated, and how pain management could have been improved. The patient-interview component will help the clinicians who attend the conference better understand the importance of effective pain management for bariatric surgery patients, and enable them to provide improved pain management therapy to patients in their practice." If you are willing to assist in this project that is sure to help many future bariatric patients please contact: Krista Sierra [email protected] to discuss your participation. In your email please mention: Obesity Week patient outreach via OAC/The World According to Eggface.

Topic: RE: Post op surgery

You will be able to eat anything if you wish, and as before why would you want to. Each person deals with WLS differently, and coping skills are a big part of life post op too. All are serious operations. Dumping can happen or not and no straight line for why. How ever too much sugar, too much simple carbs, too much oily foods, and or too much of anything could make you sick. Dumping usually is about too much sugar then the side effects. Focus on better quality of life and better health... positive thoughts get you positive results. Being prepared... you can never have too much knowledge or information on the successful path. BTW... you should drink water for thirst instead of caloric stuff.
