I just got the results on a sleep apnea that the surgeon ordered, and sure enough I have sleep apnea. AHI 20, whatever this means. I have,an appoi tment for medical clearance on 10/10, but does this mean it will be delayed? Does anyone know what happens at this point? Feeling a bit discouraged. Thanks in advance.????

What did docs to to finally resolve the problems @nprcowboy: Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Ok, so I understand our bodies do not absorb Iron after RNY bypass, but are infusions the only option if you become anemic?? And how is an ibfusion done? Is it like an IV?? So what the long term effect of low iron, which is basically not enough red blood cells? Anyone hear of severe complications years out? Im getting more nervous by the minute, hearing about all these complications, gout, anemia etc.Any clarification would be appreciated. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

How offten do you have to get infusions CharlotteKat:? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Im so confused!! I was going to get the sleeve, but im very concerned about acid reflux, and being on the meds. I have had gerd for years, and have been on med for all of that time. Just read an article how peopme are getting kidney disease from acid reflux meds. I know they put u on these,after the sleeve. I dont have a tremendous amout of weight to lose, about 75 ibs or so. Any thought on this? Do they even do bypass id you have less weight to lose? I will be seeing the surgeon the end of the month. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Laliza: during my consult the surgeon basically said that, that " many people are havibg bad gerd 4 to 5 years out, from the sleeve". The surgeon said "the sleeve is easier and faster". He also said i could have a revision if I had problems" I said I dont want to chance it. RNY is the way I will go. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Im quite sure gerd is not a comorbidity. It can be a side effect of the sleeve. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

With the sleeve you may still have gerd, many people do. RNY eliminates gerd I understand. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
