Hi was you required to wait 3 to 6 months before surgery
Hi.
I have just started the process and I am so excited! I would love to get feedback from local fellow WLS people in the Columbia, SC area and be able to share our journeys. :-) Tuesday night I attended my first support group meeting and it was so great! I am so ready for my new healthy life. Feel free to say hello and share your journey with me.
I know it has been a very long time, but what did they find out was making you have fainting spells !
Thanks Dr. Suber! I think you did my ex mother in laws skin surgery on her legs, back in 2009 I think it was. Her name is Jill Hickey, and I had to pack her incision because it ripped! Not your fault, she tried to do too much!
Maybe one day you will do mine haha! :) Thanks for the good luck wishes and keep doing what you do!
I hope that you're doing well now, Tracy. Talk to your bariatric surgeon regarding nutrition...he/she is the expert for your care. But I recommend to my (post-weight loss/plastic surgery patients) the "Premier Protein" shakes, which have 30 gems of protein. Do run this by your bariatric surgeon. But I find these quite helpful for greater ease of protein intake. I get them at Costco or Sams in the big boxes of 18.
Good luck!

Good luck April! We are fortunate to have some great bariatric surgeons in the Upstate of SC, and Dr. Ross is definitely on that list of excellent surgeons.

Try one ounce (Medicine cup full) every 5 minutes - no more that that. too much water will make you hurt - little bits at a time. Same with Protein.

I hope things are better with you. I am still waiting to have my first meeting. My sister had bypass 18 months ago in GA and she tell me all bout what is going on with her. She has lost over 100lb and is at IBW for 6 months. Hope to hear something soon almost 2 months.
