Hi to all,

Just want to let you know that we have a new surgeon in Bathurst, N.B. who does lapband, sleeves and lapband re-route. I met him a couple of weeks ago and my specialist for diabetes and some nurses I know praise his performance. I don't have my date yet. He said as soon as he could get an op-room, I'll have to follow an 2 weeks SlimFast diet and then I would have the surgery.

Clempier:biggrin:

Hi Dona,

I forgot to ask you how you were since you started your Boost Diabetic? Must be harder during the Holidays but it's SO WORTH IT!!!!! So, keep on the good work.

Hi Dona, I`m looking forward to news of your progress! I have seen Dr. Savoie in mid december and I will see him again in february. I am so looking forward to getting the band!

Hi Dona,

You're doing very very well. Like you say, if you're able to cook and everything it means you're ready and it's a good thing. I'm sure everything is going to be fine and you won't regret your decision. Keep on the good work.

I am glad to hear everything is going well. I had bloodwork done on Friday. I have scheduled 8 days off as we will be going into March Break after that and then I have access to our school elevator. Quick question for you or anyone...Are you able to take your daily medications during the two weeks before the operation or do you have to stop taking them? (Vitamins and prescriptions) Take care. I will probably have plenty of questions to come.

Hi there welll as for me being sore i am not,,my problem is that yesterday i was soo weak that i ended up drinking to fast and making a gas bubble in my tummy which it is not fun to have,,and i was dehidrated so they gave me some stuff in a bag then i felt so good after,,,,so today is another day,,i cant get used to just the little bit of liquids u get to have,,,soo ill see how that goes again,,,as for your medications well i took all of mine till i see the pre op nurse and she will tell u when u have to quit wich ones before the surgery i had to stop one a week before,,,,,,sooo it wouldnt affect my bleeding in the or,,,,,other than that its alll good,,i even lost 20 lbs for my two weeks on boost,,,he was happy and knew i didnt cheat,,lol ok well off to do the dishes,,,,,,any time u want to know something just ask,,,,ill do my best,,xo
