I am wondering how many people received a binder or notebook with information to reference their surgeries.

I work for the Hospital where my surgery was done.  I had to attend a very informative 6 week class in which we did receive a binder with a wealth of information.  We also received a binder about the surgery and each stage pre and post op for food.

I had to take  class and got a book to take home that walked me thru each phase..pre-op, what to expect at the hospital, 1st week post op + clear liquid diet, full liquid diet stage, pureed diet stage & soft food stage..with recipes and ideas. I reference this book at least 4 times a week.

I had to take a class and they gave us a little book. It has a lot of info but doesn't really go into detail about a long term plan for weight loss. Just eat lots of protein and that's about it. I have gotten tons more info from this site.

Oh and if you want a binder and didnt get one, maybe Mitt Romney can give u one of the ones that he has tons of women in! He's probably not using them anymore. Lol

I received a binder that goes into great detail and I met with my team many times to discuss my journey. The reason I asked is because I have only heard one woman reference her binder. My binder has been the most help. I do come to the great folks of OH for reference and opinions but follow my teams plan more than anything.

Again it was a question of curiosity and I appreciate all of your input.

Gracias! Danka!  Merci!

I received a pdf file of my surgeon's awesome manual which I printed out and put into a gorgeous binder of my own choosing.  I still use it, but I've weeded out phases 1-2-3 pages and have substituted terrific printouts of threads from OH like Frisco's article on the pyloric valve. 

I also was mandated to have three nutrition meetings.  That lady was terrific and provided me with a lot more really useful material which I am still consulting.
