Thanks! My surgery was 3 months ago (old post), and it took about 3+ hours. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Having my RNY surgery Wednesday and want to give hubby an idea of how long he'll be in the waiting room. Forgot to ask surgeon. I'm having a robotic-assisted, laparoscopic RNY. Thanks! I was thinking 2.5 to 3 housr, but don't know. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Sounds like low blood pressure to me. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm not a medical professional, but if it were me, I would stay away from NSAIDS --for life! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

My "moment " came in May of 2018 with a series of events. I was 246 pounds, and didn't want to hit 250. I was wearing a 3x in clothes and they were getting tight, and I didn't know where I'd find clothes. I was out of breath and sweatty just walking to my car from work, and I had diabetes type 2. High blood pressure. I was literally a hot mess, and I said to myself "that's it!" I went to the informational session with my husband at my bariatric surgeon's office on May of 2018, completed Anthem's 6 months of requirements, and had my gastric bypass on March 27, 2019. Although I've had complications Im thrilled that I had the surgery! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, and Congratulations on your recent surgery! I had gastric bypass 3 months ago, and I think you are eating more than enough calories. I rarely get up to 800 myself. For protien it seems adequate, but you should follow your surgeon's recommendations. When I workout my doctor has suggested a higher protein amount, but you're probably not working out yet. Focus on hydration and protein and don't worry as much about calories. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, you posted this in your "regret" post. Things will get better, I promise. It is not an "easy" way out, and there are struggles which are real. What exactly are you upset about? The first few weeks can be emotional. Think of the reasons why you don't want to be morbidly obese anymore. Think of all the wonderful things you will gain from losing weight. You can get through this! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

My doctor was concerned about adhesions too because of prior abdominal surgery, but my RNY was successful. Good luck to you! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Awesome!! Congratulations Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Just a follow up for those of you interested. I have experimented with this, and as far as I can tell, Allulose does NOT cause dumping in bypass patients. Ymmv Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm like Frustr8. At 3 weeks post bypass I was diagnosed with a severe stricture and marginal ulcers. 3 months post op now, and just had my 5th endoscopy with dilation on Friday. I couldn't eat or drink much without feeling nauseous and having difficulty swallowing. Go back to your surgeon please! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I ate 1/2 a scrambled egg at 3 months post RNY. No problems, but couldn't eat the whole egg! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Definitely push for a full panel of labs to be run! Your health depends on knowing your deficiencies and treating them if need be. You're not crazy as a loon!! Mine they did early because of our shared condition. Usually they do it at 6 months. Fingers crossed you get someone to pay attention at your next appointment on the 17th.

I'm 57 and had bypass 3 months ago. I never feel "hungry" like I did before surgery. One of the many reasons I chose bypass is because of the chance of dumping! I had an incredible sweet tooth before surgery and wanted something to deter me. My tastes have changed, and my mental status is such that for now I really only want protein and food that's good for me. I'm happy I had bypass. Good luck with whichever you choose.

Yes! I just had lab work done and B12 was over 2000. I do take a supplement of 1000 micrograms a day. Doctor said to keep up with the supplements even though the result was high because there is no danger in too high B12, but low B12 can have serious consequences.

I took 4 weeks. And glad I did. Could have probably gone back after 3. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I take specific bariatric vitamins. Bariatric Advantage brand multivitamin, vitamin B12, and calcium chews. They might be more expensive, but I feel it's worth it, and my surgeon recommends this brand. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I don't want to alarm any newbies, so that's why I didnt specify, but at 3 weeks out I developed a severe stricture between my intestines and pouch which prevented me from transitioning to soft foods. I also have marginal ulcers. I am having my 5th endoscopy with dilation on Friday. I'm hoping two more rounds will do the trick. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

March 27th was my gastric bypass. Down 43 pounds from surgery date, and 60 pounds from highest weight. I'd like to lose another 65 pounds. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

About 1/8 of a cup of ground beef or scrambled egg. About 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt. I'm 3 months out, and have complications. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you so much for your reply. It was helpful! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Mine said no red Jello. Can look like blood in vomit and stools. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah. I had never heard of ulcers and strictures either, until I developed them just 3 weeks post RNY. I know they are rare, though. You and I are rare birds!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats to you! Wonderful NSV! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
