you're so right about getting info from dr. nohr, its like pulling teeth, he tries to get out of the room so fast that I kept having to talk to his back then he would turn to talk, but if i was too slow with thinking up the next question, he was gone....and no plan and nothing on what is normal, i even asked what to expect, he says as tolerated?, then asked to watch for, he says fever and vomitting and left the room before i could ask anything else.....so glad i have all of you, i would be so lost, and actually i would have backed out, because three weeks before my surgery i was completely freaking out so i went online search on msn and typed in gastric bypass surgery, dr. nohr, medicine hat, alberta......and i found...one link to a page called......Lisa's Story, I clicked on that..... brought me here, PM'd Lisa, she has offered me advice, friendship, honesty, her personal email, and so much more, then I started reading everyones stories on here and started posting, there is nothing more supportive than this site and I truly believe there are angels among us and I found mine.....Lisa, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all you have done for me and you dont even know me....and everyone else on here that has offered advise and kindness, wow...never expected to find such kindness and support, i cant thank all of you enough...I am becoming obsessed with this site, oh and the weigh scale every morning, im sure once it stops changing I will stop steppin on it.

What I learned I learned here and from the dietician that I requested. Its very different here in Canada. I did buy 2 GBP books pre WLS and they helped very, very much. I took the info in here and asked the dietician, the doctor and my thinner times friends.
My surgeon was forthcoming with information, but only if I asked.
