Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Thanks for the see reply.  I have found that this board is so very helpful.  Glad we are on it.

Good luck with your surgery in June.

Hi Nan,
Congrats on your surgery date.  I'm 57 and still waiting for a date.  I have my medical clearance appt. on 4-28 and see the surgeon for the second time on May 15 at which time I'll get the date for my RNY.  I have several co-morbidities like you so I'm sure I want this surgery.  I've seen so many success stories here....
I've already gone out and bought all the vitamins and minerals they say I'll need to take post-op.  I've also tried a few protien drinks/shakes.  They're really not too bad at all, but then I enjoy most chocolate things.  I can't imagine being off all my insulin when I leave the hospital.  I'll have to see what my doc says.

hi again nan

dont buy too much ahead of time.  after the surgery most of us find that
our tastes change on a regular basis.  i would have enough on hand for
the first few weeks, and at that time you may decide that you want to try
a differnt protein drink or diferent vitamins.  that has happend to many of
us.

talk again soon,

jacki

Thanks for the suggestion.  I will wait until my preop to find out what I should buy for immediate use after I get home.

Good luck Nancy! I hope you will just love your DS!

Nancy....this is one of the best decisions you could make for yourself. Congratulations!!!!!!

We will look forward to hearing more about your journey as you go along.
