Wow I didn't see the updates! I'm in between you both. In bell port. Im five years post op! It's nice to meet you! I'm glad that there are other Long Islanders on here! I had almost given up on this until I just saw my email.

I have no issues taking it. I'm five years out and have been taking it since I came home from the hospital. It works quicker then regular pill forms so even now I still prefer it even though it's becoming g much harder for me to find. Do you have issues with sugar?

Long island is in new York not Illinois. I had my surgery done in Washington state.

Are you asking me? Yes both of my pregnancies were planned. I was told to wait at least 14 month after surgery to try and get pregnant so I started trying right a soon as I hit that mark. Lol

Any one from long island? I'm from eastern li. Did not have my surgery done in ny state though but would love to talk/meet others who have had surgery!

Hey all! My name is Dawn and I am five years post op. I had an open Roux en y. I met my goal weight just recently after having my second post op baby. I am having some issues now and I wondering if there is anyone who is post OP who I having issues with hypokalemia (low potassium) and anemia. I have been hospitalized five times since March for the hypokalemia since my potassium drops a soon as the iv is taken out of me. No joke I have had over 70 bags of the potassium run through me. My veins are shot. Anyways I haven't met anyone who has had anything similar to me, or who has even heard of this frequency! I take supplements of course but I just don't absorb them. And I cannot eat bananas or drink orange juice even I I cut it with water so please no suggestions on that it's frustrating enough trying to find the right foods to eat to get he right amount of potassium and iron in a day. If anyone has any advice, suggestions or is going through the same thing then I'd really love to hear from you. Sorry this is so long! Dawn
