My surgeon has fish and nuts in the same stage (4). I’ve spent 2-5 days on each stage as instructed. I’m 3 weeks post op and will be trying nuts this week. My requirements are a lot different than most though from what I’ve read. If you are questioning you can always call your surgeon.

Yes. I’m just now almost 3 weeks out and finally getting to be back to myself. We all feel this way in the beginning. Hang in there!

I had my bypass on the 21st as well! I did have a hernia that I didn’t know of that was corrected while I was under.

My RNY is scheduled for Monday the 21st! Can’t wait!

Thanks! The culture came back and it was such small amounts she ended up faxing the paperwork yesterday. Thank goodness!!

Has anyone had something like this delay surgery? I’m scheduled for my RNY on Jan 21st. I went a few weeks ago to my PCP and had everything done for clearances. Everything is normal but I had bacteria in urine. Not a lot but rather than start antibiotics right then she waited. Then three days later after the culture was done we did a 3 day round of meds. Went back today and there’s still small traces. She won’t do the paperwork and I’m totally annoyed. My surgeon states this is no reason to hold up my surgery especially since I have no other symptoms (fever, pain etc). Also I feel I should note that I had less than the typical amount in my urine and the culture which from everything I have read is an inconclusive result. I am so frustrated.

Thanks!!

Hi everyone , first time posting here. My question is that on my paperwork for my insurance it states that I must have participated in a weight loss program for 6 months (either physician or non physician supervised) within the last 4 years prior to requesting Bariatric surgery. Does anyone have experience with this? Does weight watchers or the challenges I’ve participated in at my gym last year count? I still need to confirm with my surgeon but wanted some insight from fellow patients. Thanks!!
