Did anyone lose weight after approval?

[Guest guest]

He everybody,

I gained three pounds waiting for approval. I have now dropped ten pounds or

so. I read some study somewhere that even a ten pound weight loss before

surgery is beneficial. Is that true? I hope so.

I asked Dr. R what can I do to get the most benefit from surgery to

make my body as strong as possible?

His reply ..........sensible DIET and exercise, ,,,,,,,,,,

DR. R, if I could do that why would I be having the surgery lil, MGB

humour here........here?HEHEHEH?

Yes its important that the ole cardio vascular is pumping well and

less weight on the ole body, well....it all makes sense. I know some

have put on weight waiting (like me) but then started getting smart

the last 2 weeks..........Do whats best for you In my opinion the

less stress the better..........regardless of dieting or not.

Aw, gosh, Robynn, you make me blush. Thank you.

I posted the mother lode message tonight, heehee ( " LT'S BLOW-BY-BLOW

DESCRIPTION OF SURGERY " ). It's got everything I could think of.

Found one typo where the word " good " should be " could " in the

paragraph about the anaesthesiologist.

If anyone needs a patient contact, holler. I'll answer any questions

you have that I can and send you a text copy of the " LT's B-B-B. "
