That is great Kym.  Did you decide to go with the RNY or were you able to get the sleeve approved.

Do you have a date yet?

Topic: RE: Wow this board sure has gotten active
Hi,
I went to Dr Strickland in Columbia and I highly recommend him.  I wanted a Dr that was going to be close if anything went wrong. 

I love my VSG.  I did a lot of research on all of the surgeries and felt that it was the best choice for me.  I liked that there were less complications than the others.  Once you heal you are pretty much done.

If there is anything I can help you with let me know

Hugs

Hello Everyone,

I am researching information about the VSG.  I have checked about a suregon in Mexico a Dr. Alvarez.  But I live here in South Carolina and still looking for somene closer.  Yes I have found some but on their website that dont put how much it cost.  Does anyone have and pricing information.  I know I shouldnt put a price on my life.  But when you only have so much money and want to have this done it's hard.

Any ideas?  Please Help!!!

Thanks

I agree with Mary. I couldn't eat the pureed food either. It made me. I had to do what I had to do. I ate can chicken and can ham and chewed till mush. If I hadn't I would have been in a fix. Make sure you get your protein first.

Topic: RE: Dr. Bour Patients

As well as I can remember, it was pretty much anything you could put in a food processor and puree. This early into it, protein is top on the list. Personally, I couldn't stomach the site of any food that had been pulverized in a food processor or blender, so I would take really small bites and chew it until it was mush. Of course you couldn't cook meats until they were dry and expect it to get mushy by chewing , so anything that was really moist was the best. Now, keep in mind that Dr. Bour would probably go balistic if he knew that, but it worked for me, and I don't want anyone to think I am authorizing it. You should follow his rules, lol. They also sell the pureed stuff at his store and it makes it easy to use, since you don't have to measure anything, it is already done for you. Another thing some people try is baby food, just no fruit,. Good luck with it!

Hugs!
Mary
