Oh Thank you for the information about the book. I will have to read it. I'm pretty set on the vitamin and supplements since I already take so many medications now. I'm hoping to replace the medicine with the vitamins and supplements. Plus, I need to have a knee replacement, back fusion and heel spurs removed. But no one will do those surgeries without have gastric bypass first. So now that it's a major health concern, I'm looking into the surgery. Because I was looking at gastric bypass as a cosmetic surgery and not medical instead now.
Thank you ladies!! I haven't yet met the surgeons in our hospital. We get to meet them at our next class in September. I'm currently working the program. I have lost 20 of the 40 lbs. to have surgery done. I'm hoping to lose 50 lbs. before having surgery. But if I only hit the 40lbs. I will be fine with it.
I was looking for people who have had the BPD/DS done. On most websites I have seen it refered to just as DS surgery. We call it the BPD surgery in our hospital. I was wondering how your surgery had gone and what kind of experiences you have had.
No one can change my mind on having this done. I am just looking forward. I just seeing what differences I could see on having on my own surgery. Yes everyone is different. But I was hoping to see if anyone experienced setbacks or how did things change for you. I'm reading a book right now that they gave us about Barbara Thompson's surgery. But she only had the RNY done. It doesn't seem to give any experience from the BPD/DS side of it.
And I know the vitamins are essential in any of these surgeries.
Thank for any information.
Oh Thank you! I'm new at this. I'm not exactly sure about where to and where not to post.
I was wondering if anyone else is in the process of having a BPD/DS done. Also looking for people who have had the surgery done. What kind of things should I keep in mind with my upcoming surgery. I looking to see how life has been changed by having the surgery done. I have a woman in my one therapy class that is VERY against me getting the surgery because she had a horrible experience herself.
