shereeks

Hi Shereeks thankyou for asking how i am. Am doing a bit better now still in a bit of pain but getting there hope you are well keep in contact annmarie

hi shereeks yes i am getting excited but very nervous at the same time, i've started counting down the days now and not long to go now before joining you on the losers bench:-)

oh i am so holding you to that...and you are staying with me...and i will throw you a party...samm, lisa, tawna, get your party hats on, you can all stay with me!

Thanks shereek you put my mind at rest, fingers crossed all goes well.

i go to brugge on the 7th may and my op is the 9th. just a little question to ask you, on the forum when people are having problems and they are advised to see there surgeon, what happens if we have any problems? this is one of my concerns with going all the way to brugge to have it done there, its not like we can just nip on the bus to go and see him.

hi shereek i think you already replyed to one of my first threads, i was debating wheather to have the surgery in this country or go to brugge, it was yourself and gwen both saying how wonderful dr D was that made my mind up, i had already had the lap band surgery but had to have it removed last year because of complication, i dont know wheather you remember reading my introuduction thread, if not then i would like to say hi and to tell you how fantastic you have done on your weight loss.

Gotcha duckie!! Cheers for the sage like advice :-) xx

nope not going on the cruise, have started a few new business adventures so no time for that yet, but soon if i can get these off the ground.
i would so love to meet you!

I don't know, they said I had a long bypass (1.8m). I honestly think it's to do with my diabetes (which unlike many people hasn't gone away straight after the op - I still have to take pills). I have type 2 diabetes and am very resistant to insulin, so I think when a load of insulin is dumped into my system it doesn't really make much of an impact - hence no dumping symptoms. Hopefully as my diabetes gradually recedes I'll start to feel the effects of insulin more.

Hiya Sheree, I'm 25lbs down but got my 'you know whats' at the moment so we shall see where I stand next week. Am trying so hard with the fluid but so difficult but mustn't grumble and all for the greater good!! Do you have any idea how many calories I should be taking in at this stage? I reckon I'm taking in on average 400 - 600 a day. Cheers chick!
