Megan that's great congrats on your decision of being healthy.

Tiffanyhoover they just come up with an exercise plan for you,and document what you can and can not do , they also set you up with a plan girl you yo start exercising before ANC after surgery .

Igray that is an excellent idea I hope that mom23kidz look into your suggestion.

LOL i love tattoos and I think it is an excellent idea to get something special to acknowledge your new you.

Amylif2 that is a good observation on your part as well as your husband, because now that you mentioned it I too pop tums like tic tacs, and the bypass is the best option for me as well. I also did not want to go through the chance of having ulcrs and having to have a second surgery that my husband pointed out during our discussion on the best surgery for me.

Nobby congrats I am glad you are recovery please keep us posted.

Tholland hi I still do not have my surgery date Wednessday when I went it was all for medical clearance , then I was told I would have to come back again for a 4 hour meeting to fill out the last finalization paperwork, meet with the surgeon again, get weighed in and I am awaiting for them to contact me again for the last appointment , and then I get a surgery date. I was so bumm.

Thank you, I will keep the faith and try to focus on the positive while waiting my next appointment.

No I am type 2 diabetic and take levermir and novolog insulin pens all the doctor did is inform me the day of surgery do not take my novo log and half my dose of levermir .

Tipp2 hi I could have had either one but after meeting with my doctor it was suggested I gave the bypass because of my sweet tooth and hypol .

That's great news you do have a wonderful husband congrats .
