is anyone happy with their rny to erny revision?????
i have asked this question before and have not gotten positive feedback I am kind of hoping someone will say " ya, my erny is great go for it randy". It looks like that Dr g will only revise me from a1998 rny to an erny. Final for him. He told me to go to Dr. k if I insist on the Ds. I appreciate him saying that but it also brings home to me the fact that I will have to leave my 5 children and go cross country for almost 2 weeks. I understand its my life and i have to take care of it but my kids are my life too and I do not have the support system alot of people have to take over. Okay I'll stop whining now!!!!! But seriously if you like your revision from rny to erny please contact me. Maybe there is something I don't know . My main concern is long term health risks and managing my weight loss once the weight has come off. The ds seems to have the best track record for that if I am not mistaken.
Thanks all,
Randy
smelly bowel movement with too much red meat and / or too many carbs . stick to white proteins, chicken, fish, shellfood
greasy oiy bowel movements - stay away from fried foods !
when ut comes to carbs abd veggies - the rule is "if it's white - it's not all right" - learn to live by it!
Count protein 1st calories second 150 - 180 grams protein pre day.
My labs are still good . little low in iron - But Vitalady has me on track with that..

Randy, if I could fly to the east coast & take care of your family, for you to be able to travel and have a DS, I would do it in a HEARTBEAT!!!!!
