Ok, I sent it. Make sure she let's me know.
So, how has the pregnancy been with a DS? Is it hard to keep your labs in check? I would think vit D would be a challenge as well as calcium, since the baby needs a lot of those 2.
It seems like your weight is not going up too much which is good! Eventhough I know that's not even on your mind now.
I can't imagine being pregnant now with the DS. I would be so terrified I was not supplementing enough to keep the baby healthy. I can barely keep up with the vites to keep me on track, so thinking of the baby too would drive me crazy.

I am pre-op. I do know a few women that have had him as a surgeon and they have nothing but good things to say. He is the surgeon that all the WLS patients are being sent to from here at Fort Stewart.
There is actually a seminar tonight at the hospital at 6pm if you haven't been yet. There's one every first Wednesday of the month. How far along are you in the process?

Hi! I don't know if you received your answer or not. But Dr. Whipple is my surgeon and I'm not required to do a 6 month supervised diet but my insurance is Tricare (not sure if that matters though).
Topic: RE: Plastic surgeon
I am confident you will be very pleased with his work.......he is great!
and has an excellent staff (Camara) and bed-side manner which is important...and his incisions are amazing!
