It's now OFFICIAL~Approved~!!!!! RNY to DS
You're right about the vets on this board, they're amazing. I shudder to think of where many of us would be today, if not for them.
I'm currently walking around with the crotch of my jean****ting mid-thigh! Guess it's time for new ones but I'm still loosing so I hate to switch now. Hee hee, but I may have to. Also, the hair loss has begun. It actually makes me laugh because there is so much falling out I could knit a sweater! It's a good thing I have a lot of hair!
These two "problems" could have freaked me out but reading the older posts, and those of the vets put it all in perspective. I have received a gift called the DS and it would not have happened without these vets! So I lift my protein shake to them, and to you!
Your second home should be thrift stores!!!!! At least during my RNY weight loss phase, that's where mine was!!! Even though my weight loss will be slower, I ill be yard saling (which I LOVE) and hanging out in the thrift stores!!!!!
DR K IS AWSOME!!!!!!!

I did meet him, back in March, I flew down from Alaska for an-in-person consult with him, hoping that would help with the "insurance side of things" (which it did not)
But, ya, his bow tie ROCKS!!!! And his diagrams with all of the different colored markers...... To MAKE SURE you UNDERSTAND you new gut rearrangement!!!!!!
