Anyone who will listen will do not picky at all. just need advice.I have been approved, but what do I do from this point,. should I be bugging the Dr. or what. Should I start purchasing things that I need for after the surgery? What will I need. Thanks so much    — catian12 (posted on January 17, 2003)

I wouldn't go to crazy right now. If you want to buy things for the surgery, get some s/f Jello, and s/f popsicles, some broth, and s/f kool-aid. I wouldn't buy any protein drinks until after surgery because your tastes may change, and you don't want to get stuck with some protein drinks you cannot stand to drink, they're hard enough to drink as it is. I sent you an email, feel free to email me anytime with questions or concerns.

Hi Cathy, I live in Maryland, had my surgery 1 year ago @ Johns Hopkins, Bayview. My e-mail address is [email protected]. I would be very happy to help you in any way I can. Also, my surgeon, Dr. Magnusen has a support group (free) the 2nd Tuesday of every month in the conference room @ Bayview. These meetings have become so important for me. We have lots of newbies and many of us verterans. 1 hour is devoted to questions and answers and the 2nd hour is usually a guest speaker (they have all been wonderful). Starts @5:30pm. Please come join us, you don't have to be Dr. Magnusen's patient. But in the meantime, please e-mail me with any questions, I am only too glad to help you through this.
