Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 I for one am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. If I don't like the book,so what . $ 20.oo down the drain. Worth it if one thing works. But I haven't been abused as much as some of you and for that I feel sorry that there people out there who do that. (Abuse your trust I mean.) So anyway I ordered the book today. Will let you know what I get out of it. Sleep better.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 1999 Report Share Posted April 13, 1999 Hi COCO, , and All, I've probably spent 10 times that amount trying other stuff, so it's not the twenty dollars that's a problem. Will probably buy the book also, because I don't want to miss even the possibility of finding relief on a more consistent basis than is now happening. I admit I'm somewhat resistant to you , because I perceive an unwillingness on your part to share specifics. I guess that makes good business sense, because unlike the rest of us in the group, your motivation is to sell your ideas, not give them away. some of the things you say, like not being able to answer questions until we know more, and barely covering expenses, just don't sit well with me. I don't mean to be rude or put your ideas down. If your book helps, it really shouldn't matter how you go about presenting them, or whether you profit financially. Just some thoughts in the middle of the night. ne, 59, Lawrenceville, NJ --- mainard mainard@...> wrote: > I for one am willing to give the benefit of the > doubt.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Hello Lynn, I too, am having a DS with Dr Booth. I guess your questions kinda depend on where you are in the process. I take it if you haven't seen Dr Booth yet you don't even know if you'll be approved yet?? In other words, has he written a LOMN yet to your insurance co? If you haven't gotten insurance approval, I don't see the need to rush out and start getting these tests and things that he will require of you. If you are local in MS, he will probably refer you to his psychologist of choice, otherwise, in my case, since I am out of state, I called the local WLS Dr and asked his staff who he referred to in my area that is familiar with the WLS psych exam. There will be other tests as well that he will need: Upper GI, bloodwork, gallbladder ultrasound, etc, but I'm sure they'll go over all that at your consult. I actually had the first half of my psych test today. Answered a bunch of questions about whether or not I tend to take responsibility for my life or blame my problems on others!! LOL!! etc etc. . .That was pretty easy, took a little over one hour. Then I go back next week after he mulls over my answers and talk to him, i guess. I'd better pass!! LOL!! Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Lynn, Many of the doctors have someone in particular that they send you to for the psych evaluation; I am not sure about Dr. Booth. I would wait until after your initial consult. Bring any records of previous weight loss attempts, particularly doctor supervised (i.e. MDFAST, Optifast, Phen-Fen, Meredia) also information about comorbities (other conditions caused by your obesity such as sleep apnea, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, etc.). Good luck to you. Sandy C, RN ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Hi Lynn - I forgot - if you have any specialists who support WLS it doesn't hurt to have them send LOMN (especially if you have ANY co- morbidities). It sometimes helps speed the insurance process. I got them from all my specialists, bless all five of their hearts. P > I have just started this process and I have a couple questions.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Lynn: Dr. Booth almost surely has his own requirements on a psych evaluation. Do NOT get one ahead of time as it might well be wasted. If you have been seeing a psychologist or someone it would be a great idea to get a report from them on your suitability for the surgery but don't think that will take the place of whatever Dr. Booth might require.

That's his only requirement. Also, you might get a letter from your internist (MUST be an internist) clearing you for surgery. The rest can wait until post-consult. Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 Hi everyone, here's some information I found out that might be of help to those being sick. Since this second ml, I am sick almost every dinner time, after the first small bite, and then I am fine. Saturday I went out and had a bit to drink for the first time since being banded really (in total about 1 bottle of champagne over 5 hours). As I was in less control of my eating habits, I was picking away at the salmon dip with pieces of lebonese bread. By the end of the night, I had been sick about 4 times....stupid me.... Terrible headache, dehydrated etc. I couldn't even keep down a soluable panadol! I've never been like that before being banded. Then on Sunday, I still couldn't eat a single thing. I was so sorry for myself last night! Tired, hung over, no food, hungry etc, etc. Today I was fine, and could keep breakfast and lunch down. But I rang Kim Duffield, the support nurse for Dr. Fielding and she said that after you are sick, you should stay on liquids for 24 hours, until you're stomach settles down. I never knew that, and thought I should share it with you all. This would explain why I couldn't eat anything yesterday. She also said that my stomach might spasm when food first hits it. Looks like I'm now a non-drinker, which my liver will appreciate, hope you're all well and happy, Gabby Banded 19.7.2001 Dr. Fielding, Bris. was 139kgs and 165cms short BMI 51 28.9.2001 126kgs BMI 46? goal 65kg one day " Love your life, you only get one " . _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Thanks for the info Gabby. I got a 24 hr tummy flu and really needed to throw up but I was unable to. It was more than dry reaching and I could feel that what ever was attempting an escape, was foiled by the band!! It was a bit scary so I went to the nearest hospital and got a maxilon(spelling?) injection. I was much better after a very short time (about 5 minutes I think,) but even now, two days after, I still cannot eat very much at all and feel ill after but only for a short time after eating. I am seeing my surgeon on Thursday (600 kms away!!) for a fill and will discuss this with him. I look at it a bit philasophically though... if I can't eat, I will reduce my weight a bit more!! I think my body was telling me I should be on liquids though because for the last two days, I have been craving soups! It would seem that your doctor is on the ball with revisiting the liquid diet for a while.
