Obesity surgery

Hi everyone,<br> I’m Tim. I finally made the
first appointment with my surgeon and went! Dr. Ali out
of Port Huron, MI was very nice and very warm. He
was quick, but answered every question I had. Yes, he
had a fatality about 15 years ago on one of his
patients. He said that he shouldn’t have ever gone through
with the procedure because she was 67 and had had
heart problems and leg problems. She died of a blood
clot to the lungs from her legs. The patient had
insisted and signed every waiver. Apparently it was worth
the risk to her. <br> Anyway, I’m collecting my
mandatory items and getting them in. I go to the Nov. 20th
support meeting in Flint, so that should be a good time
to meet people who have had Dr. Ali’s surgery and
what it is like. Oh, it is the RNY version.<br>

Post-ops, can you drink coffee??<br><br>Tim
