>>Sometime I get chills hearing how little some of the post ops

actually knew before they had their surgeries.<<

I admit I was one of those pre ops who did no research on this surgery except

for a couple seminars I attended. Hence, I've done a lot of research on what I

have to do to get and stay healthy. In retrospect, I wish I had done more;

however, I do not regret for one minute having had this surgery. It has given

me back my life and my desire to live and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Beth, the important thing is that you are researching now. For some

people, I think it is easier to just say, " My doctor didn't tell me

to do that, " and then just go on with their tums or whatever.

I think that many surgeon's offices are realizing that they need to

do more education, but there is only so much they can do. We have to

be willing to research issues for ourselves, not just with weight

loss surgery, but with any medical issues that might come up.

I agree, the surgery gives us the opportunity to have our lives back.

Good for you that you are taking advantage of that opportunity by

learning what you need to do to stay healthy now.
