I only had to go for blood work and a EKG. My surgeon didn't require sleep study or endoscopy. He performed an endoscopy during my surgery plus my gallbladder had to be removed.

My Bariatric support is having a Before/After Fashion Show next week and I need to bring a sugar free potluck dish does anyone have any suggestions Thanks ! ☺

Thanks ! I do need a savory dish an entree thought crockpot meal would be easiest

I use a pill to keep organized. I take Bariatric Advantage multi which includes my iron my nut has me taking it before bed. I take 3 capsules. My Calcium Citrate I take 3 500 MG chewables at morning noon and dinner time. I biotin at noon time.

I'm 51 years old I had my RNY 4 1/2 months ago (2/9/15). Did experience issues palpitations, constipation, feet and leg swelling. My recovery time was 6 weeks. My surgeon had to remove my gallbladder during surgery. Since I've started to exercise my weightloss has increased. I have lost 89 Lbs.

I am 4 1/2 months post op and I started my first stall starting week 6 it took 4 weeks to break it....when I increased my exercise program with strength training every other day.

I started to take bariatric advantage multi chewable it is horrible ....I'm going to switch to the capsule in the meantime any suggestions to an alternative. I know I can take prenatal?

Melanie that is awesome ! Been awhile since I posted....I have lost 57 pounds and almost 24 inches. I decided to keep track of inches when I have plateau I can maybe see inches lost..I was on a major plateau for almost 4 weeks. I have started exercising more and finally battled through it. I'm still having palpitations which Dr's not sure why since my ekg and BP are normal. Surgeon says it's from anesthesia and narcotics and my pcp says it's the dramatic changes I'm going through. My back aches are improving. Been having pt and acupunture which has help since I can't take anything for it.

What does everyone use for severe constipation ? My Dr is saying prune juice but I'm hearing it doesn't work

My surgeon only allows flinstones centrum chewables for the first month then it's either prenatal or bariatric advantage chewables or capsules

Shanna my nut said there would a level off right after the 1st 10 days I'm experiencing it too. Melanie - the refried Beans sound yumming do u use can fat free or do you take can of beans and mash them up ? My favorite pureed right now is cottage cheese .....I couldn't eat it last week but now I can what else u eating ? I have one more week 3/7 on to semi soft

Shortierock at my 10 day weigh in I lost 16 pounds

Will be thinking about u Crosby!

Melanie I've been having them too my nut said that it would happen didn't start until a couple days after being home

Chrissy bug I too am suffering from constipation I am 14 days out I actually went 2 days in a row but I have to push to get it out . But me too it would be 2 or 3 days before again. I haven't tried miralax or colace yet. Dr told me to do prune juice but it hurt going down or the smooth move tea which I haven't tried. I'm trying to 64 oz in a day. Don't know what's the best thing to do either. I did have apple sauce yesterday hoping it may help.

What form does colace come powder pill ?

Last night I tried Prune juice but immediately it hurt my stomach didn't take anymore. Maybe I should try the mirolax or tea.

Glad your feeling good keep up the walking it really does help !

I believe with acid reflux the best option is the RNY. I was told you would have issues with acid reflux with a VSG. It wouldn't ease your symptoms but may make it worse. I too was going to do the VSG but I wanted the chance of optimal weightloss so I decided on the RNY.

Do the sell the tea at grocery stores ?

Did anyone have to switch their beta blocker from xl extended time release to regular metoprolo due to it not absorbing in the body ?

Rebecca I absolutely agree with you ! I have been having issues with rapid heart beat for the last several days. (I'm 11 days post op) My husband swore the nurse at hospital said that I can't take the extended release anymore. But my hospital discard instruct said to continue the xl release. I asked the surgeon about it he told me it's debatable and he has patients still on it after RNY, but told me to switch since I have been having issues. My PCP wrote me a new script and I feel so much better today. I'm just so tired because I haven't been able to sleep for days . I hope I can eventually get off them the more weight I lose. Thank you !

Awesome congrats !

Della street I so agree with you ! I'm only 11 days post op. Thank you everyone ! I know my nut says to take metimucil but I think not until at least 2 months post op. Just want to be regular again.

I am 10 days post op I am having the opposite effect. I am constipated so Dr is having take prune juice to push it along (I hope) I have lost 16 pounds since surgery date 2/9/15
