Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hi Tammy: My name is Tammy also. I had my surgery in November of last year. The one tip I can offer you is, follow exactly what your doctor says, and always make sure you take your protein seriously, it is extremely important. It was very scarey at first for me too but I knew it was the right decision. If you are doing the protein drinks, now would be a good time to try some out because some drinks made me sick and others I hated. But I take the Atkins Advantage protein drinks, I get them from Walmart-4 for $7.86 I believe is the price. I drink one every morning before I go to get dressed to go to work. It diffinently works, I lost 74 lbs in 3 months. I feel really great. I am new to the group too but I figured out that on the left hand side is a word that says, " Chat " and you just click on it and it will take you into the chat room. There is no one there right now, the other chatters will probably go on at evening time, I figure. Well, good luck to you. email me anytime, I would love to have others to talk to or about 8:30pm I will try to go into the chat room, maybe I will talk to you there. See ya, Tammy Ricci > Going to have surgery April 22. A little nervous but very excited. > Does anyone have any tips for me on pre-surgery stuff? I am making > a list of questions to ask my surgeon. New to group. How does chat > work? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hello After reading your email, it made me think of myself, I have been waiting for my first appointment to see my surgeon for a long time now, about 6 months. My first appointment is in March 9th, it seemed like it took forever to come. I wish you luck, and maybe after I see my surgeon, I can let you know step by step if you want how it goes, and what to expect. IM not sure right now, myself. h in Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
