I am from W.Fitchburg and had RNY at Emerson on 4/8/2014 with Dr Lautz! down 77 lbs and no regrets

I had RNY 4/8 and had both my toes and nails done before my surgery with approval from my nurse during my pre op physical... I even have acrylic nails and all went fine

That's a long time to have redness.... I had sutures poking out up to 2 wks and I read to tug them and see if they would come out and if they didn't to pull them tight and cut them close to skin so that's what I did! I told the PA and she said that was exactly what she would have done!

8 wks yesterday and am down 42 lbs, 50 lbs today from my first visit with my surgeons office 2/14.....

I had RNY 4/8 and got my period the morning of, the have me so much heparin my flow was so heavy, I had an IV in one hand an oxygen thing on the other hand, it was a mess trying to keep myself clean.... I had a private room first day so I dealt with the hat I had to pee in every time so the nurses could see my outputs but they never changed it and it was so bloody but when I got moved to a room with a roommate, what a nightmare, we both had to pee in hats and no one ever changed them..... It was such a bad experience at a hospital that was supposed to be good

I am 5'5 and my weight on Feb 4 2014 at first appt at WLS center was 263 with a BMI of 43. I went on the table at 255 April 8 2014! I heard from anyone who I told that I wasn't that big and what kind of surgeon would allow you to have RYGB? I simply told them I was 110+ lbs over weight and classified as morbidly obese and therefore I would be a fool to pass up on such a valuable tool that I was able to receive! Today I will be 8 wks on Tuesday and have lost a total of 48 lbs so far and all the haters that bad mouthed what I was doing are now my biggest fans, go figure!

Usually an Ng tube isn't something that is placed in an emergency situation such as if you are unconscious, and when placed they measure from your physical external dimensions so not to place too much tube... It's a procedure that is not done with a scope!

Need to be mindful of all chews as they contain calories and carbs, my nut told me to steer clear of the delicious ones as we have to take so much a day!

I use Twinlab bariatric calcium wafers, $14 for 120 wafers..... Have to take 6 a day, 2 in AM 2 at noon and 2 before bed.... They are tolerable and perfect for us Bariatric patients

Where do you purchase torani syrups?

I am 4 weeks out and have had a fever almost daily off and on.... It was 100 earlier tonight and now is normal without Meds. I was seen 4/28 and had labs and urinalysis without a finding! I have read that sometimes when your body is burning fat it can cause body temp fluctuations, but I don't know how true this is but I am freaking out with this on off temp for a month.....Hmmmm

Don't over use protein in a single shake, the body only uses 30 grams per meal.,if you drink it all at the same time your body doesn't benefit!

Yeah why no antibiotics? This would have definitely been a possible reason I would not opt for WLS had I known.... Were they trying to kill me in the hospital by giving them to me? WTH

OMG you have to have V8 juice , it makes you feel human again and it's on my stage 2

I am 22 days out gastric bypass and my nut says as long a I chew to the consistency of apple sauce I can pretty much have anything except raw veggies/salads.... I'm loving my P3 and a watermelon wedge for lunch❤️

It is a wise idea to use baby spinach or kale instead of lettuces without nutritional value!

I am 16 days out and my Nut said purée meat is nasty and as long as we chew chew chew and chew again to the consistency of applesauce then we can have a 3 oz piece of baked chicken and well done veggies after the protein.... I just started eating Tuesday and Wednesday I made a turkey chili with kidney beans and tomatoes and had 1/4 cup..... Listen to your pouch, eat really slow and follow the 30/45 rule for drinking! No one can really give advise on what and when to eat as no surgeon or nutritionist/ WSL surgical center has the same post-op diet

I had roué en y and hernia repair on Tuesday and went home yesterday afternoon and straight to bed..... I had no solid sleep while in hospital with stats done every 2 hrs.... Pain is tolerable but am not able to move very well with these 7 incisions . I was told by my Dr that bypass with hernia repair is not comparable to roué en y alone... I wasn't cleared with my upper GI day after surgery due to swelling and I lost quite a bit of blood.... 5 hr after the upper GI I got the clear for clear liquids...... I also got my period on the table and the shot me up with heparin 2xday so it made it all that much worse..... I'm home and don't feel too bad except for the gas pains I keep getting in my left shoulder... But I am on the other side now and it feels good.. Day of surgery I weighed 255 and today I weigh 244, didn't gain any fluid weight as I only had a bag and 1/2 of fluids my whole time in hospital

My date is tomorrow as well, 8:15 check in.... I suffer from anxiety terribly and take several Meds for it as well. I am so calm and feel at peace with my surgery tomorrow,it is kind of weird! Bring it on.......... Good luck to us all who are joining the losers club tomorrow

I begin my 2 week diet tomorrow, glad I am a school bus driver, between runs at least I can sleep the time away rather than be consumed with the fact I can't eat! Excited for my surgery date of 4/8 though ❤️

I start shake for breakfast and lunch with 3 oz protein and veggie and a fruit for dinner on the 25th and 48 hrs before I go clear liquids, I am having rue n y

My date is 4/8 and I can't wait, I tossed all of my clothes this weekend because I close on my new house 3/21 and why bother lugging all the big clothes when I will only have to do it again, I kept tee shirts, long sleeve tees and leggings and exercise shorts and 2 pairs of stretch denim.... Yup, I don't plan on needing them EVER again!
