Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 My name is and I was just approved after 9 months of insurance battles, 6 months of a medically supervised diet with my doctor and nutritionist. My user ID is " chicks in my house " crammed together because I have 3 beautiful little girls, and a loving husband of 14 years August 10. So there is definitely a ton of estrogen here. My surgery is August 24, 2004. I have always been one of " those " " she is so beautiful, if she'd only lose weight " people. I say this, because I would never, will never say that about anyone fighting obesity. I am looking for any and all advise that you could give me...pre-post op and especially post op diet. What to REALLY expect...immediately following surgery, 1 month, 2 month, 3 months down the road etc. My doctor is the owner of sdale Bariatric, Dr. Robin Blackstone. She is supposed to be HIGHLY regarded in this field of GBS and an educator, a clinical researcher, etc. She also requires several 4 hour seminars pre and post surgery, where the one after surgery (1 week) is where you will actually have your first meal...there. Has anyone had surgery by Dr. Blackstone in sdale, Arizona? I would love to hear your stories. Anyway, I am glad I found this board, I have been dealing with just getting the approval for so many months, I have hardly researched the actual surgery...recently anyway. So, with that said, any info deemed needed would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
