I’m doing so-so...the protein shakes are nasty. I’m having a hard time getting them in. I need to do better for sure. I have my pre-op physical tomorrow. Last step before the surgery! How’s it going for you?

Anyone out there that had WLS and has MS?
MN_Meg770 posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi, I have Multiple Sclerosis and am scheduled to have gastric bypass on July 23. I have messages in to my surgeon and neurologist because am worried my MS med, Gilenya won’t be absorbed correctly after the surgery. Anyone else out there that has MS and had/having weight loss surgery? Any advice is appreciated! Megan -
Hi all, I am very worried that the RNY surgery will not allow me to correctly absorb my oral med for Multiple Sclerosis. Without this med my MS could worsen and the advanced forms of MS could be horrible. I left a message for my surgeon on Friday about my concerns. I’m waiting to hear his response and I’m so scared he’s going to tell me to not have the surgery now. Are medications as much of an issue as vitamins and minerals due to potential malabsorption? Thanks! Megan

Malabsorption after RNY and medication
MN_Meg770 replied to MN_Meg770's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you so much!! You must have a bright daughter!! PharmD is an impressive, great career! My medicine is called Gilenya. I’m not sure if it’s immediate release but I think it is because there are no initials after it like Cr or Xr. I would have thought the surgeon would say something about it at my previous appointment, but maybe it didn’t occur to him that this could be an issue. Thanks for your reply and offer!! Megan -
I too was taken off the wellbutrin xl and switched to immediate release. She told me to take 1.5 100 mg at bfast and dinner. I never thought about the issue of malabsorption ): Not sure I could handle that!
-
Congrats on your courage to move through this process and have the rny! I like St. Joes Best of luck on your journey!

Surgery is 3 weeks away- starting to freak out a little
MN_Meg770 posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My gastric bypass is a little over 3 weeks away and I’m starting to get freaked out a little. I keep thinking about the foods I love that I’ll never get to enjoy again. I’m worried that food will get stuck and I’ll have to throw up or go to the hospital. I’m scared I’ll never enjoy a meal again. Are these fears logical or things I should be worrying about? Thanks all. Megan -
Congrats!! Great to hear you’re doing so well!!

What is the pill to prevent stones? I get kidney stones and am concerned about them coming back after surgery. Thanks!

Thank you Kevin! I am re-focusing on the positives now as much as possible. Once in a while fears creep in - I am sure you remember. -
So glad the surgery went well. Other than the gas pain how are you feeling? How long did your surgery take? Hope you’re doing ok!
