Has anyone done these shots for hair loss? -
3:00 PM Surgery time!
GlutenFreeSingleMom replied to DirtyHarriett's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was scheduled at 1:30 but I didn't get taken back until after 3:00! Yes, it was hard but they did tell me I could take a small amount of water early morning of my surgery. Also, once they got my IV hooked up and started fluids it wasn't bad after they gave me my Ativan as my nerves were a little mess! Good Luck to you -
Going back to work
GlutenFreeSingleMom replied to nsweety123's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nsweety I am almost 4 weeks post op but I also had my gallbladder out and a hiatal hernia fixed! My larger incision is still very tender... I also drive bus but I drive the Charter Bus so thinking with all the twisting, turning and bouncing is why he has me off for do long! I'm already on lifting restricting due to an inguinal hernia... -

My doctor has me off for 6 weeks -
In the process of my preop phase and wondered if anyone else has had or having surgery (Celiac Disease)???

My doctor had me get one pill of Emend (used for chemo patients) to help with nausea and vomiting the morning of my surgery! This pill was a lifesaver!!!! I never and to this day still have thrown up or got nauseated! If, you can say something to your doctor about this pill! I know everyone reacts differently to meds but this was a miracle medicine for me!! Good Luck to you all!

GlutenFree Anyone?
GlutenFreeSingleMom replied to GlutenFreeSingleMom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mtchick I could never eat a bite of gluten as it made me sicker then sick and wasn't worth the consequences! I've been gluten free for 15 years! When were you sleeved and what phase of the diet are you in? What recipes or ideas are you looking for? -

Gastric Sleeve 10-21-13
GlutenFreeSingleMom replied to cera cricket's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm 3 weeks post op and my doctor required me to take 6 weeks off! I think it may depend what your job is and plus I had my gallbladder out and a hiatal hernia fixed at the same time as my sleeve. -
I'd be curious to see what everyone says as I'm in the same host as you! I'm afraid to wash or brush my hair because my hair is falling out so fast and it's do thin! I'm hoping now that I started my vitamins and having more protein foods it will help
-
Has anyone got dehydrated after their surgery and had to go back to hospital? If so, what were your symptoms?
-
I was wondering if anyone has tried pumpkin pie and if so when? I have Celiac Disease so I wouldn't eat it with a crust only the pie filling? I'm in the puréed stage... 3 weeks post op Any input would be appreciated ... Thanks!

I need some reassurance...
GlutenFreeSingleMom replied to callchrissy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on Oct 7th and totally understand the emotional part! I'm snippy and people look at me the wrong way I just cry! I'm off work for 6 weeks and hoping it gets better before I go back to work! -

REGRETTING.....
GlutenFreeSingleMom replied to NeuroSurgNurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on.10/7 and I took Emend pill the morning of my surgery and never have thrown up or been nauseated one time! I also got my gallbladder out and a hiatal hernia fixed! I swear this was a lifesaver drug! Also, my doctor gave me Reglan for nausea and Rx Prilosec to be on 4 months and Lortab as needed for pain! I'm not bragging at all but if I can help any fellow sleevers I'm glad to do so! Hope you all can get relief and start feeling better! Best of Luck!
