Looking for people's experience at st. Luke's. I was gonna go to lehigh valley hospital but switched and decided to go with st. Lukes

So im 9 months post op rny... ive been drinking my fluids today but im having really bad dizzy spells where i feel like im close to passing out.. on a side note- theres a chance im pregnant. Also have a headache as well

Hello, im 9 months post op and I was on the depo shot for almost 2 years now and two months ago I stopped depo thinking it would take me a year to become fertile and have a normal period again ( havent had one in ovee two years ( I have a 2 year old son). Well im afraid im pregnant. Im not due for my period for 10 days still but im very tired and my boobs are so sore and tender. I just have this gut feeling im pregnant...

I live in pa and have capital blue cross. Im gonna be 8 months post op this month and I know I have to be atleast 18 months out for surgery but im curious if there are other requirements. Do we need to lose a certain amount of weight first? Just looking for some info. Thanks in advance

I have the same issue and ive had blood work done and everything shows up normal. Its always interesting to see what new bruises show up. I had rny in january 2013 and never bruised like this before surgery.

So all day yesterday I was not feeling well. My body was very weak to the point that my husband and son couldnt touch my leg without me being in pain and I had a major headache. Last night I was sitting on the couch and got major chest pain on my right side. Husband brought me to hospital to find out I had viral myositis. They gave me pain meds and sent me home. All day today ive been in a lot of pain, when I try to eat I throw up and or dry heave for 15 minutes. Now even drinking water makes me throw up or atleast dry heave I cant seem to win

At what point should we go to the hospital for dehyration

Once u got the iv fliuds u were allowed to leave right?

For those that have gotten to your goal weights how long did it take you to get there? Were u able to accomplish it within a year? Are u a couple uears out and still not at goal.

Has anyone had issues with there kidneys since surgery?

I had rny in january 2013- ive been snacking and not watching portion sizes. I wanna go back to the basics before I start gaining weight again. Would it be bad to go back to the liquid diet and than start the beginning diet like after surgery?

I had rny gastric bypass at st lukes hospital by doctor el chaar on january 22 of this year. Im so happy wit my decision. Recovery took about 2 weeks to feel somewhat normal again. I was off my pain medicine by the first week and a half. The last few days I only took them at night to sleep

Congrats! Thats an awesome birthday gift to yourself

I guess I will start off by saying that I had rny surgery in January of this year and the last couple months my husband has been talking about wanting to have a baby. We already have a 2 year old son. Since starting this wls journey in November 2012 I have lost a total of 81 pounds. Just this week I finally hit 199 pounds ( first time being under 200 in years). Part of me doesn't want to have another pregnancy because I'm afraid of the weight gain and that I won't lose the baby weight and I've worked so hard to get where I am now and want to continue until I get to my goal weight and part of me feels guilty for not wanting another child because I don't wanna gain any weight. Anyone else feel this way or am I just being selfish. I'm so afraid to go back to the way I was before this journey started.

Thank god I'm not alone on this one! My husband and I had both agreed we didn't want our son to be an only child but since the surgery all I can think about is all the pregnancy weight I would gain if I got pregnant again.i feel bad for my husband because he really wants a second child. My husband just keeps saying to get off my birth control ( depo) and if we get pregnant we get pregnant. Part of me freaks out about that because I've only been post op for a few months and second the weight gain... Urg

So I had my gallbladder removed on Tuesday and idk if this incision looks normal... Any advice would be great, sorry if the picture is too much

So on Tuesday I had my gallbladder removed and one of my incisions is making me nervous, it's inside my belly button kinda and it looks funny and very different then the other incision sites. Can anyone give me there opinion?!

I'm really nervous about the dark red areas. Idk if that's bruising or not. None of my incisions from my rny or my other gallbladder incisions look like that. Also the area is very sore and painful to the touch.

It does feel warm. I haven't had anything over it to bother it. I haven't checked my temp to see if I might have a fever.

I had rny In January and I'm in the hospital now about to get my gallbladder removed.

I'm on the shot ( depo ). I've been on it for about 2 years now. I like it. It's a shot u get every 3 months

So after a couple weeks of issues my surgeon is going to remove my gallbladder as well as do a scope of my rny surgery and check my spleen. Turns out ct scan showed a cyst on the tip of my spleen. I'm about 4 months post op rny. How was recovery from gallbladder surgery?

Wow! U can really see a difference!
