LADIES on METFORMIN for PCOS
jbauman13 replied to KerryRNY04162015's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, per my dr's directions. He was afraid it would drop my sugar too low. -
I had 2 drainage tubes one on each side. They were removed before I left hospital. The longest one hurt when they removed it but the other was not painful at all.

The only one I can tolerate is Premier Protein Chocolate.

Increase in Left side pain at three weeks post-op
jbauman13 replied to Gingerisgreat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had severe pain on my left side when I was about 4 wks out, it lasted about a week then one day disappeared and hasn't came back. My surgeon said it was normal. -
I was given pain meds in pill form and could take them 3-4 after surgery no problem.

My NUT says 60-80 grams of protein a day.

When will I start feeling a little more normal
jbauman13 replied to Jorrin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I thought I would feel great immediately after surgery... I was wrong, I am 5 weeks post op and I'm still tired. It's still hard for me to get my fluids in. I'm starting to get energy back this week. Hang in there, it will get better. -
Thanks, my paperwork says 8 was but my NUT said a lot of people try it at 4 weeks and do fine.

My bariatric support group has a clothing exchange so I'm doing that and will be going to thrift stores also. -

I had never had afib but after RNY my heart rate went up to 188, very scary. After several tests and another surgery to verify no leak, my doctors found a blood clot on my lung(pulmonary embolism). I am now on a blood thinner.
-
My throat only hurt for a few hours. My dr was checking for anything that looked abnormal so he knew before surgery what was there. I ended up having reflux.

I am so excited, I get to have my surgery on Sept. 30th. This is day seven of my liquid diet and it is hard but I know it will be with it in the end. My pre-surgery journey has gone so fast it almost doesn't seem real. From the 1st time I saw the doctor to surgery will be 62 days. Anyone else Sept. 30th?

Surgery date Sept. 30th
jbauman13 replied to jbauman13's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, my actual RNY was a success but I am still currently in the hospital. After surgery my blood pressure and heart rate went very high. After several test and another surgery to verify there was not a leak it was determined I have a small blood clot in my lung. I am on blood thinners and the doctors are very confident the clot will b absorbed back into y body. So I am hoping to get to go home within the nxt few days. -
