Topic: RE: Dr. Baker? Dr. Ikramuddin? Dr. Buchwald?
Hi Jennifer,
I had my VSG with Dr. July, Dr. Bakers associate. I love the program at Unity, and can't speak for other hospitals programs. Unit is a Bariatric Center of Excellence. The nurses at Unity are wonderful! I just like all the support I get there and I really feel encouraged to stay active in the many ways I can get help. I'm part of the team that speaks to potential patients in the Tuesday informational meetings. I was the 12th Sleeve performed at Unity, but the actual mechanics of performing the Sleeve uses the same method they use to close a RnY or DS. My surgery was orthoscopic.
If you have any questions concerning the VSG, I'd be happy to share my experiences with you and answer what I can.
Good luck on your journey, no matter what surgery you chosse!

In addition to low potassium leg cramps can also be caused by dehydration, low levels of Vitamin D and thyroid disorders.

I'm in for a solid maybe. I have lots to do as usual, but I can't stand working outside in the morning cold, so hot coffee for an hour or so is a good way to get going...

Topic: Charlie horses in ankles and feet?
Ever since I had my surgery I get these every so often. I used to get them in my calves. You know, the ones you get in the middle of the night that kills and your leg aches the next day. Well, these are in my ankles and feet. I've heard its a Potassium defeciency. I take Potassium but I still get them. I'm waiting for my blood test results so maybe I'll find out I still need more potassium. Anybody get these type of cramps or charlie horses?
