Looking at all of the few messages. Happy May day.
I have been approved for my Umbilical Repair and Panni Removal on June 6th; so excited.

God bless Dr. Garren and Dr. Siebert.

Where is everyone?

agreed

I'm new to the boards and new to the idea of wls. Doing lots of research on the available procedures out there as my doc has recommended that I look into it as an option. Right now i am leaning toward DS as it seems to be the one with the least complications (if the stats are right), the least "maintenance" as far as having to go back to the doc to have fills and adjustements or some of the other problems I read about with some of the other types of surgeries.
Anywho.... I am in Stevens Point so will probably go with Dr. Selwyn since he's just across the street :). And I have read good things about him. If anyone is in the Point/Plover/Whiting/Amherst etc area give a shout and lets talk procedures and such :D

According to my labs, I don't need to supplement iron or any B vites yet. That is pretty rare for a DS'er, but I have a feeling I will have to add it in at some point. I'm no vitamin expert, that's for sure, so if you have any other vitamin questions, don't hesitate to ask the DS forum. They sure do know their stuff.

Some of the best advice given to me on the DS forum was to just smile and nod when it comes to vitamin information from the surgeon's office and Nutritionist and to listen to the vets on this site. Sad to say, but it's true.
