Indira

I'm pre-op also!! I pray I can have my surgery Jan/Feb 2014.. I chose the bypass because it's been around for years.. And with the bypass u lose more weight I'm 296 now and want to lose 130/140

Did your feet get smaller once you started to lose weight?

Maybe u can just the liquid diet early..... Or cut down on carb intakes

Please share your dumping experiences.... What happen?? How did u feel?? Was u at home or in public?? Thank u

I agree with u 100%... I live in Rhode Island and my Surgeon has over 10yrs of experience and has done over 2000 WLS.. I'm pre op and hope to have rny the beginning of 2014

... Thank u for sharing ????

Wow!!!!!!!!!! are you serious????? Why are u making this to be something that it's not?!?!? Please stop!!! We are all suppose to be adults in here!!!!! All I want was to hear about the diff horror stories ppl have heard!!

Didn't mean to be rude...When I first told people I was going to get rny... I heard so many stories from everyone... so my question was what's some of the horror stories people heard when they first told people...

I'm sorry I thought only adults was in here

I want to Hear the horror stories things people heard about before surgery!!! Thank you

I'm pre-op doing all my testing before I can get my surgery date.. I'm excited and nervous But ready!!! I've been hearing ALOT of horror stories.. Please share some that you have heard or experienced.. Thanks!!

Praying for u!!!!

I just started the whole process... The first thing I did was google which hospital in my city did the bariatric surgeries... Then I had to attend one of their seminars (you can't see a surgeon before u attend a seminar they do take attendance)... After I seen the surgeon he gave me a check off list... I need a sleep test done.. Upper endoscopy... Gallbladder ultrasound.. Psychiatry evaluation...and my insurance require me to see a dietary consultation 4 times (once a month)... I'm praying for a late January date or maybe early Feb.. Good luck to u and your journey!

I'm praying that u have a speedy recovery

Anyone here from Rhode Island or Massachusetts and had WLS with Dr Pohl??
