Well, I needed this... especially the personal responsibility part! I think my carbs have gone out of control. I guess the rules have been forgotten... I don't remember how many carbs, fats, proteins, etc I should have daily. My blood work with supplements seems to be doing well. My red blood...

Almost 4 years out - I am grateful for the freedom it has given me. A big thing is I have been able to wear "Boots". As a child, i wanted to wear boots so bad but was to fat and they wouldn't fit my calves. It broke my heart as I knew I was huge and not like the others. I have about 15 pairs...

I will be interested in who you find... hopefully closer to the East side. Please let me know. Thanks! Thank you for all your informative help with PCP and surgeons, etc.

I checked her out where her office was and I am super far away. I am east... EAST Mesa almost to Apache Junction. She sounds like an excellent one, but with only one car it would be extremely difficult to make it over there. Thank you though!

THAT WAS IT!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! JUST IN TIME!!!

Thank you! Will check it out!!

My PCP moved. I am upset, but then again should couldn't do all my labs because she didn't really understand them. So, I need to find a good PCP that can understand all the lab work associated with the DS. I don't want to go to my surgeon (Juarez) I want to find a PCP. How would you look one...

Thank you, thank you for your comments and help! I appreciate it.

I asked my P.A. if she would take over my labs for my surgeon instead of me going back to my surgeon (because he has a Jerk for a P.A.). She said she is comfortable ordering the regular labs but with the specialty labs, she doesn't really know what the "norms" should be for a Bariatric Patient...

He did my RNY in 2007 and looked good. I am just done... I am glad the revision is done. I am grateful I survived! I am grateful all went well. All in all... I am done with them. If I need anyone I will go to Dr. K, I guess.... hopefully I won't need anything more.

Thank you for all your help. Yes, you are right. I will not go back there. EVER. I appreciate the help with the bloodworm and stats. Yeah, P.A. didn't want me to be the 6th person... I can't imagine 5 gaining all their weight back. He was just an angry guy. That is what I told him too... if...

On my last visit to the surgeon's office at 9 months post-op, all the P.A. talked about was counting my calories and if I didn't keep them at 1500, I would be the 6th person to gain all my weight back after a revision surgery from RNY to DS. I got that lecture for 15 mins solid. I got maybe...

I am so excited for you!!! I bet you are so glad to be where you are today then back waiting for insurance approval or just starting the Atkins diet. Here you are ready to fly out tomorrow morning!! Are you keeping in touch with someone so they will let us know how you are doing after surgery...

You bet I got my surgery report and I think Emile was a little surprised when I brought it with me and asked him if this part meant my common channel was 100cm long (3 ft), etc. I am thinking Emile might carry the surgery. I won't see Juarez anymore... haven't since the 2 week check up...

I think he is thinking that if my Mom is having a clotting problem, I might have a clotting problem too... so don't take the Vit. K, that it would make clotting even worse.

Yep, I am going to make an appointment to just cover just that! It might just be "In search for the New PCP with DS Knowledge" series.... Hopefully, not a LONG series!

At 3 months, how much protein a day should I be getting? Limit my carbs to under 50gm?

Thank you so much to all of my "knowledgies"!! You all are definitely helping me get out of my "crazies" in my head. He (P.A. to surgeon) that I should just take the D3 once every 2 weeks, the A1 once a week and the K not at all since my Mother is on Coumadin. I was taking the Bariatric ADEK...

Bebezed, I totally understand the lifelong mother thing with weight. I grew up with diet pressure on me and when I would gain, she would let me know she noticed. She took me to T.O.P.S. at 10 yrs old where I still remember from their motto "... even tho I may eat in private, my excess pounds are...

I probably have no right to be grumpy... but I am! I went to my 3 mos. post-op and saw the PA. I was feeling very tired, kind of weak, and curious about my labs. It is a worry for me that I will fail at the DS. I feel like I failed the RNY. Well... this is what I came away with... I need to...
