Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Thats good info about the dietary supplements, I'll have to look into adding them to my regime. However, women need to be cautious with the dhea; but as we age we loose testosterone anyway. I am worried that there will not be enough islet cells to transplant. I was very obese and now am about 170ish depending on fluid retention and such. I was hoping to drop another 15# or so before the surgery but now I dont know if I will even get the procedure or not. I dont eat much but then again I dont do much either. I wonder if my islet cells are still that of an obese person or if they have thinned up as I have. That is an interesting thought, perhaps that is the issue the doc in cincy has. He wants me to have a gastric emptying study. Thanks again for the all the good info and good luck with the new endoc doc. I look forward to hearing what she has to say. Chrissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
