Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Hi all. I went to the Dr. support group tonight and it was very good. My only problem is they have a pretty strong RNY focus at the moment. They admit that and are hoping for some of us DS'ers to help in the post op process once we get there. So they're sharing info on such things as dumping, bowel obstructions, chewing 35 times, not drinking for 90 minutes after eating, etc. I felt like I interjected several times and said, " well, it's different for the DS right? " Afterwards, I had a little knot of pre-ops around me as I talked about the DS. But I feel a little odd. I don't want to step on any toes, I just truly believe in this surgery. I took some emails and said I'd send out a few sites. The only one who had a comparison handout showed the RNY vs the BPD. oy. What do you think about taking a small DS handout with web links to the next meeting to hand out to those interested? Do you think that's too pushy? wondering.... becki ===== Becki, near Portland, OR BMI 50-ish, age 42 pre-op DS. hoping to get approval through Aetna Traditional Choice (fighting 'investigational' denial) Consulted with Dr. on 3-13-01 psych ok, nutrition ok, beckeye_58@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
