Topic: RE: I'm BACK!!!!!
Howdy stranger. I haven't had the "pleasure" of a stricture, but I understand that they are generally easy to fix. There is a Back to Basics class starting next week at Michigan Bariatric Institute, I don't know if you can convince them to let you in, it may be full.
I would dig out the original notes you got from the nutritionists, they have straightened me out more than once. Hard to make our heads reign over our feelings, but we can do it. It helps me to chart my daily numbers (when I make myself do it) and to plan ahead while I shop. Also, I use either smaller plates or divided ones.
Keep accountable to someone! And if you want an exercise buddy, let me know. I need that motivation!

Topic: RE: I'm BACK!!!!!
Low Fat Greek Yogurt is a great breakfast!!!!! Takes a while to find a brand that you like though, at least it did for me.... You can even put some unflavored protein powder in it to bump up the protein some more....
Watch those CARBS!!! They will get you every time... I know that I am guilty of that more than I want to admit
I have had a stricture and an ulcer before too, but mine was early after my surgery.... They can take care of you and the test is not that bad to figure it out..... Good Luck with both issues.... You will be in my thoughts....

Topic: RE: Where is everyone?
Hello I'm almost three months post-op and 65 lbs gone! 
Very happy living and loving with a wonderful husband who is having the surgery in November. Right now I haven't been exercising like I should but need to get back on track! Trying to go back to work part-time at least till after hubbie recovers from the surgery then I'm going back full-time and school next summer. These are things I never thought I would do or want to do before having my surgery! Not only does it help you get healthier but it also makes you think and want to do more, move more and enjoy the things life have to offer.

Topic: RE: PCP's in the DMC network?
I go to Dr Stafford Preston on 12 Mile in Novi, he is fantastic and I had my RYN back in 2003 at Beaumont. Dr Preston is a DMC doc.
Doesn't your surgeon have people he reccomends?
Best of luck

Topic: RE: PCP's in the DMC network?
If you are asking me, no I do not. I'm going to be getting surgery at Harper hospital and was looking for a recommendation for a PCP.
