Topic: O/T - the good thing about snow....

I am not fond of cold and/or snow, but if I had to pick a good thing about snow:

1. I have to move my butt and get outside and shovel! I have a HUGE driveway (and my husband was gone all weekend, so I shoveled 3 times).

2. It looks kind of pretty - I just don't like to be out in it.

3. Since I don't like to be out in it, I keep my butt at home and accomplish tasks I keep saying I will do "another day."

Happy Monday everyone!

Topic: RE: Bismarck area band group

First let me congratulate you on your decision to have the surgery and wish you good luck on Friday. If you have any questions or concerns I might be able to address, you can email me.

We get together the first week of every month for dinner. Right now there are 5 of us each of whom has had a band for at least 6 months and a potential bandster making a decision. We have decided that if we have someone who has just had surgery, we would meet more often and give out our email addresses and phone numbers to offer any help.

So far it has been very successful for us. We offer encouragement, advice based on our experience, and support.

Topic: RE: Thanksgiving wishes

Thanks!
Thanksgiving went wonderful, including the Black Friday shopping LOL
Sorry to hear of the deny part. Keep on fighting. Is DS covered under BCBS of ND? I thought only RNY was LOL. I didn't asked about others as I knew I wanted the RNY.
Have fun in Milwaukee with family! Our family part was canceled this year due to my brothers health. So no travels here.

Topic: RE: if you are considering WLS please read..

I think you have great intentions so that people realize what life might be like after RNY, but a Duodenal Switch does not have the side effects - any of them - that you experience. I didn't even know it existed when I decided to get WLS, but am completely grateful that I found out about it. Please mention the possibility to others if they're considering WLS b/c it's a wonderful option. The duodenal switch also has a higher % of excess weight loss in the immediate years following surgery & a MUCH lower rate of regain at 10 years post-op. These are all averages, of course, & everyone is different, but more people will have higher long-term success with the duodenal switch than the RNY in terms of weight loss while still being able to eat a reasonable amount of food with no dumping symptoms ever.
