I don't know how valid either the letter is or the implied threats. But with

our compromised immune systems, better safe than sorry. Take care, LOL Judy

Virtually everyone who is eligible for the DS surgery can lose weight. We have all been on so many diets we can hardly count them. I expect the same thing is true with you. I know what I would do to lose weight on a short term basis. I'd go on a high protein, low (or no) carbohydrate diet. That's what's been most successful for me. Of course it never worked to keep weight off but I could lose a bit when I really needed to. I'd suggest you use whatever diet you have been the most successful with short term and it should allow you to drop some weight prior to surgery. I would also caution you that you should eat a reasonable amount of protein prior to surgery as a deficiency there could inhibit your healing powers. So any diet that includes ample protein or protein drinks which works for you would be fine.

Hi Guys, Hope everyone is doing well. I know it is recommended for me to loose weight before my surgery in May. Does anyone know what I can use to help me that won't make me unheathly for surgery? I know most things work for Just a short time (dexatrim, metebolife, etc.) But I only need it to work for 3-4 months. I know I won't be able to loose on my own. Any sugestions? Should I start taking any vitamins or drinking any protien drinks now, etc.? Anyone know what the weather will be like the end of May in Spain? Thank so much, Love, W. 5'2"/340 LBS/ BMI 62/ 40yrs Dr. Baltasar Spain Self pay 5-29-01

Write Dr Baltasar about this-- unless he is recommending the weight loss.

Whatever you do, stay healthy and strong. I had my gallbladder removed after a mediFast type diet. It took me a long time to recover. And the surgeon said that I was like a starved person.. seriously weak and lacking the reserves to recover quickly.

You might also talk about this on Dr B's list with his other patients.

Here is some good thoughts!

Thanks and hope you like it!

Lots of Love

Glenda

Today's Joke:

Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Went Out into the Real World

1. Any and all compliments can be handled by simply

saying, " Why, thank you! " (though it helps if you say it

with a Southern accent).

2. Some people are working backstage, some are playing in the

orchestra, some are on stage singing, some are in the

audience as critics, and some are there to applaud. Know

who and where you are.

3. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.

4. When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your

own taste.

5. Never continue dating anyone who is rude to the waiter and

doesn't like dogs and cats.

6. You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't

move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't,

use the duct tape.

7. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital

relationship: " I apologize " and " You are right. "

8. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

9. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's

easier to eat crow while it's still warm.

10. If he or she says that you are too good for him or her -- believe

it.

11. I've learned to pick my battles. I ask myself, Will this

matter one year from now? How about one month from now?

One week? One day?

12. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have

another chance!

13. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable

because of a bad or former relationship just might mean

that the other person was right about you.

14. Knowing how to listen to music is as great a talent as

knowing how to make it.

15. Work is good but it's not that important.

16. Never underestimate the kindness of your fellow man.

17. And finally... Be really nice to your friends. You never

know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.

Hi

Here is another one!LOL

Thanks again Phyllis G.

Lots of love

Glenda

Two privates stationed at Fort were handed shovels

and told to bury a large, dead animal. While digging they

got into an argument about what they were burying.

" This here's a big mule! "

" This ain't no mule, this here's a donkey. "

" Mule! "

" Donkey! "

Well, this went on for a while until the camp chaplain came

by. " What are you boys doing? "

" We're diggin' a grave for this mule. "

" Donkey, dammit! "

The chaplain cut in, " Boys, this isn't either one, it's an

ass. "

An hour later, the camp commander came up and said,

" What are you men doing, digging a foxhole? "

" No sir. We're diggin' an asshole. "

Jean,

Actually there could be a simple old age answer for this. It's called a

vitreous

floater. It is caused by a tiny separation of the eye sac from the optic nerve.

I see a black " C " floating around all the time. :o) There is a slight chance

of

a detached retina, but normally you just have to ignore it. An opthamologist

can

tell you.

Take care, Bill

nancy,

Yes, Rob is taking ProVigil - 2 200 mg tablets in the morning. He

was initially prescribed 1 tablet, and I didn't think it did much, so

when the prescription ran out I didn't refill it. Well, he was less

alert after that, so next time we saw the doc she increased it to 2

tablets. I think at that level I can see a difference in his

alertness, although he still has some episodes of " brain fog. " The

drug is very expensive -- I don't remember exactly how much, only

that I was a bit shocked when I saw the bill.

Kathy,

Good to hear from you. Yes, it does seem like Audrey just got her feeding tube. Actually it was the beginning of January. At that time they told us it would have to replaced in about a year. Well, they think she has so much acid in her stomach that it is wearing the tube out faster. She has been through so much, as so many of our children have. We will find out this week when they are going to replace it. Thanks for asking about her and I will keep everyone updated as I can. As long as she can give me a special grandma's smile I am terrific.

Kathy, grandma to Audrey, 22 months
