Question:
I would love to get advice from other angels so I can be the best I angel I can be.

I was thinking of putting together a sugar free basket of stuff.. like sugar free jello, some different protein drinks, sugar free chewable vitamins, sugar free juice and candies etc... Any other advice? I know I will talk w/ my person often.. follow her up to the surgery.. and talk with her and/or visit her in the hospital and followup with her postoperatively as well. I want to make sure I do this right. I have not had WLS so there is a lot I won't know about.. I'm in the appeal process now.    — Dawn R. (posted on May 16, 2001)

your idea of a basket sounds really nice. being there and giving your friends someone to talk to is great support. maybe you can talk to someone who had the same surgery your friend is having and get an idea of what to expect...remember, everyone is different though. i had an open rny 11 weeks ago and i will tell you anything you want to know. hope this helps!
