Topic: RE: How did you choose your Surgeon?
If you are the Detroit area, try Harper Bariatric. Dr. Wood is my surgeon, he does VSG, band and RNY, and him and his whole office staff are AWESOME!

Topic: RE: Sinus issues
Well, all I could find is what NOT to take, so just avoid these items. Looks like there arent any sinus meds on this list so your options are open. I like just the store brand sinus meds.
Avoid these Drugs:
Advil
Alka Seltzer
Anacin
Ascriptin
Aspirin
Bufferin
Cloricidin
Cortisone
Dolobid
Empirin
Excedrin
Feldene
Fiorinol
Ibuprofen
Meclomen
Motrin
Nalfon
Naprosyn
Norgesic
Tolectin
Vanquish

Nice article. I am glad your kids are doing so good.
Topic: RE: Late Dumping
Nope. This is what I carry:
** Blood Glucose Monitor (Reli-On micro - small enough for my purse)
** Glucose Tablets ($1 at Walmart for a little tube. I've only used them once in an emergency)
** Granola bars (always one in my purse, plus a supply in the car)
I went out for a walk this afternoon with a friend. When I got back to the car I was feeling a bit off -- so I checked my blood sugar count and it was 73. Not dangerously low but I could tell that it was on the downward spiral and recognized how my body was feeling as a signal that I needed to check. So I ate a granola bar from my car's stash before I drove home.
We really really really do NOT want to rely on sugar to bring up a low count. If it drops down in the 20's like you had, then yes, sugar/glucose/glucogon would be the right answer. But then you'd need to follow that immediately with a good nutrient balance or else you'll just create a new cycle of spikes and crashes. Because we have a pouch that doesn't metabolize sugar like normal people and whatever we eat that's high sugar content gets absorbed directly in the intestinal walls.... we can't rely on the same remedies as normal people.

Topic: Sinus issues
What over the counter medicine can we take for sinus problems? This is the first time I have been sick since surgery. I can not get into the doctor until the middle of next week. I don't want to suffer that long.
Thanks

Curious: Do you carry a Glucagon pen?
Hoping I never need it, but I've been carrying it around lately. During an episode like I had that night I'm thinking the glucagon probably could've stabilized me earlier and better than then the tablets.
