Hey girlies, I would just like to introduce myself in hope of getting to know you all better. I'm Dee McGallion, I live in Huffman with my wonderful husband David. I have been chasing the lap band surgery since early Dec. To make a long story longer I finally got approval from my insurance in June and promptly got a blood test that indicated an iron deficency. Whaaaaaaaaa, so for the last month I've had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy which both showed no problems. Tuesday I swallowed the camera pill (which will show the small intestines) and will get the results next week. Soooooooo, hopefully I will get a postive report and can get released from my PCP to go forward with my surgery in the next few weeks. Now having said all that, I am sometimes overwhelmed at how much I don't know about what to eat, how sugar effects your pouch, protein drinks and bars and on, and on, and on. So if anyone ever needed a support group, that would be me. I hope it's ok to jump on this bandwagon and ask some questions occasionally (or maybe a lot). While I know everyone is different, it's always good to hear things from those who have already had the experience. By the way my Dr. Is Michael Storey in Pasadena. He took out my gallbladder in 2002 so we already had a relationship and he was highly recommended by my PCP. Really looking forward to meeting you all soon.:confused:
