How were your secular holidays?



Recommended Posts

Shalom chevre!

How is everyone doing, and how were your secular holidays? Did you do anything special? Do any of you Celebrate Xmas at all with non-Jewish friends? What do you do about enlightening non-Jews about Chanukah (especially the whole "it isn't a Jewish equivalent to Xmas" thing...)?

Did ok here. Been ill with a weirdo condition since erev Yom Kippur that has helped me with appetite (as in I am not hungry as much), so I've lost about 4 pounds in the last two weeks - bonus! I don't know whether that would've happened if I wasn't sick and on the meds I now take. (I'm making too much spinal/brain Fluid & have to take meds to bring that down for at least two months, maybe more.)

Anyway, just checking in. Also, are any of you thinking of going to the convention? I am planning to go for the whole weekend and just enjoy the heck out of my time with other bandsters.

All the best,

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
