My Dr chose the Roux-en-y for me. I have a lot of underlying medical conditions and that was the best route to go.

Topic: RE: surgery May 6th need to know?
Hi Jane,
My answer would be the same at the previous poster. I would add. Some type of flavored Lip Moisturizer. That saved my lips. Because after surgery I wasn't allowed anything by mouth. Nothing zero, zip. My lips got sooo dry. I was greatful that I had done research on the Pre-Op and Post Op.
XOXO,

I packed a pair of comfortable clothes to wear home, clean underwear and socks. I just wore the gown provided by the hospital during my stay. Also, don't forget toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush and deodorant. I waited to shower after I got home. I just had one night stay at the hospital. I hope this helps. Plus, I wouldn't worry about magazines, puzzles, etc, you will be sleeping most of the time. Good luck!!!

Topic: RE: Anyone having surgery @ Barix in Ypsilanti, MI?
I had my surgery there yesterday. By Dr Schram. They are all wonderful. The nurses and staff were all very friendly and caring--and had great senses of humor. I had my first consultation in January. Then I had to get my doctors letter and approval and psycological consult. But it sounds as if you have already gotten your approval so yours may be faster. I think they are usually booked out about 6 weeks though. Good luck.
