Greetings my Peeps!
Bracing for snow here in the DC metro area. After the Snowmeggeon of last year, a couple of inches is nothing. I just have to make sure to shovel the walkway. I try to help my neighbor too unless her son is already there. In the 10 years I've lived in my house, I've never ever met her - she's a shut-in.
I did get some cleaning done this weekend. I've still be low on energy. I finally called and got my last ferritin level from the hematologist - good thing too! It was still fairly low (40) and I need more iron infusions.
Violet - there are pro's and cons to both RnY and DS. In the end, I liked the lower re-gain statistics of the DS better than the RnY and the fact that I can eat as much fat as I want (I only absorb 20% of fat). The cons is the fact that I have to watch my fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K - they are doing fabbo with my supplements) and iron (which is not doing fabbo). There are only a handful of DS surgeons because it costs more to do it and there is a compliance issue with vitamins. Some RnY patients have trouble with some vitamins depending on the length of intestine bypassed. If you ever need vitamin interaction info, just pm me. I have extensively researched them and have access to the scientific articles if necessary!
Yes, I'm a wee bit retentive hehe. I can't help it, I'm a scientist.
Hugs to all! I'm cheering on the successes and giving gentle shoves of motivation to those that need it.
Luv,
Ratkity
