Dr. Sewell vs ? & Protein Shakes

3loves · March 23, 2006

FYI....my surgeon, Dr. Evanson requires a 23 hr stay as well. This only makes me more confident in my choice, especially since they are a "Center of Excellence". Some docs are different and some people want to be home, but this is the best choice for me personally. You'll be glad you stayed if you have any problems like JanetC.

I wish you the very best!! :clap2:

Tina -- you don't HAVE to use milk... I just prefer the taste with it. It's made to mix with just Water, so it's up to you. I use skim, but it's really just because I LOVE milk.

Post-op, it's probably a better idea to use Water. The less stuff you give your stomach to digest, the better. I know several bandsters have had issues with dairy during the post-op healing period.

How exciting for you!! We'll have to look for you at the next support group meeting! If not there, then next month at Jason's.
