Topic: RE: Anyone here have DS?
Hi, I am a pre-op, so I can't answer your question about flying for the DS, but i can tell you that the closest one to CO is Dr. Gary Anthone in Omaha, Nebraska. He has tons of experience with the DS, having been the bariatric director of USC for a number of years and has trained many surgeons. Check out www.duodenalswitch.com for some other ideas.
Good luck!

I went to the seminar yesterday at Penrose and it was pretty informative. They said that the doctors were booked til the end of July beginning of August. My first appointment with Dr. Fedorak is for July 10th. I am soooooooooooooo, excited.
Any one have any suggestions or thoughts about the beginning stages?

Topic: RE: I have a Lap Band
I had one night stay in the hospital. I'm now almost 2 weeks out, and while I'm still a little stiff, I'm feeling pretty good.
Good luck to you.

Topic: How long before? Questions about Gastric Bypass

Topic: RE: 1 week tomorrow
Asashorty- I'm sure sorry to hear you're having a tough time, I would definitely call your doctor and tell him/her what's going on. It doesn't sound normal and with a Lap you can be back to life that quick. If you call the dr. you could aviod the hospital, but if you don't drink they will hook you up to hydrate you sure as anything. call the dr.!!!!!! Hope things get better really fast...........VickyRuth
