About time!

Hope it's real DS Nutrition, and not just tweaked RNY...that's usually what we get.

I would be intertested in a CD and/or webinar.

It would be good to address the absorption rates, and to dispel the number of myths associated with the DS, like we have to wear Depends because we have chronic diarrhea.  Maybe early out, but as the system matures, it goes away, even for those with shorter CC's. Simple sugar and simple carbs are the only things that will set that off after the first year! 

I am so sick of hearing about RNY eating plans being given to DS patients. Most doctors only want to emphasize the surgery risk, which is slightly higher that RNY, but not enough to be significant.  THey do this to "scare" patients into having the RNY.

At this point, I would just like to see a thorough presentation on nutrition post-DS with an eye towards understanding what healthy eating now means.  I mean, many of us already have a warped perception of nutrition and healthy eating pre-op and it's compounded now because healthy eating post-DS is NOT the same as healthy eating for normal individuals.  I'll think on it for specific items I'd like see spelled out and get back with you.  For now, how do we get tickets?
