a few questions for the post-oppers

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I'm still collecting data as part of my decision-making process. I heard

from some people back in May, and then a couple more recently, but I'm coming

up with a few new questions pertaining to each person's own experience with

the aftermath of surgery. Please feel free to ignore this, or email me

privately, or post to this list. Add any other observations as you see fit.

This isn't intended to be intrusive, but I am looking for some honest answers.

Here goes:

1. When did you have your surgery?

2. How have you felt since surgery, energy-wise? Is your energy level higher

or lower?

3. Have you experienced any side effects, such as acid reflux, GERD,

dumping, continual nausea? How have you dealt with it? Do these side effects

persist?

4. Are you exercising? If so, what kind of exercise, and how many times per

week?

5. Has your food intake changed? What kinds of foods are you craving? Are

you able to take all the required vitamins and supplements?

6. How is your mood since surgery? Have you experienced any depression since

surgery? If so, are you taking medication to help you through it?

7. Approximately how much weight have you lost? Are you satisfied with your

progress?

8. If you had the choice to make again, would you choose to undergo weight

loss surgery? Would you choose the MGB procedure, or a different procedure?

If you don't want to share this information with the MGB group, email me

privately and it will remain absolutely private. If you do want to share

with the group, please reply to the group. If you find this intrusive, please

ignore it.

I look forward to hearing any and all replies.

Thanks in advance.

Blair
