When and if I drink wirh a meal it almost always ends with me throwing up. Plus they say not to drink because it washes the food through faster. You will not like the pain of the big chunks of food stuck and will not want to do that again. So with out chew, chew, chew I also will throw up from something getting stuck. Monday I had apples and pretty soon they had to come out. Lori

I also had my surgery in Sioux Falls, at Sioux Valley. My only bad experience was a snotty little nurses helper. She had a chip on her shoulder, my husband was going to knock her down a peg but I begged him not to. SV Hospital was great about getting my meds. I ran a fever and had to spend an extra day. Dr. O checked on me quite a bit. Sorry you had an experience you were not sure about. Yes it should have been in your charts about the meds, but never hurts to remind, depression meds are nothing to mess with. They crushed my migraine meds and put in sherbert. OH my GOODNESS it was sooo nasty. I had to fill out a survey after a couple or few weeks, make sure you let them know. Always room for improvement. Best wishes! L

Hello, I am pencilled in for Surgery Dec. 20th, 2004. I have been married just about 15 years. I have 2 daughters Elizabeth 13, Stephanie 10, one son, Benjamin 6. My husband had open gastric bypass a year and a half ago. I have been wanting something... anything since then, actually before. Without insurance we never thought it possible. I am very anxious! Up till then I am reading all I can to prepare and make a file. Thank you all, Lori
