I'm new here and am anbout 4 weeks out. Did anyone have surgery at Park Nicollet? If so, did you feel unprepared? I'm curious because I feel so unprepared and confused and I don't have any materials on what my surgeons office says I should/shouldn't be eating. I'm a revision and they kept telling me "oh you know the drill, you had a lap band".
Thanks for listening,
Kris

I have a bunch of great tops that fit me right now, but could use some more pants...
Note- I visit the various thrift places, but it's really hard to find a good selection of petites :(
Thanks!

Costco has an AWESOME electric throw blanket. It's about 5 feet square, and perfect for cuddling on the couch. I bought mine for something like $25 this week. They also have super cuddly sherpa throw blankets for under $20... I really want one of those too :)

My recommendation is that you visit all of the hospitals that offer your chosen procedure, and you will will see how they interact with potential patients. You will have a long term relationship so make you r decision based on your comfort with the whole team.
Happy shopping!

1 piece of advice, when you buy protein powder, watch the carbs and sugar in it....The UNJURY has 0 sugar and 1g. carbs....
Also after my RNY I got lactose intolerant, so I use soymilk in my shakes.....

Per someone's suggestion, I checked out Clothes Mentor in Burnsville, and it was great! I was able to sell some of my nicer used shirts there, and was able to pick up a couple of nice sweaters for work. The prices are great!
