    ADD/ADHD Meds Post Gastric Bypass??

    Im right there with you: I was taking 30 mg of adderall 2x a day (instant release) and was working great before surgery. Now it’s like I don’t take it at all or it works for 2-3 hours. The dr increased to 3x a day to make it last longer; but I don’t feel as it’s very effective.
  2. I do have a primary doctor but unfortunately, she doesn’t know anything about Bariatric surgery
  3. Wow that’s so much protein! Do you know portion sizes?
  4. I’m feeling very frustrated and alone with this process. I had a revision from sleeve to rny to due GERD and Barrets esophogas. I had a bravo study done and my acid scores were in the 90’s. The dr immediately suggested the revision and submitted the paperwork the second week of November. I left for vacation for two weeks and during that time learned that I was approved and they scheduled me for 12/12. I received zero information from a dietician regarding what I should be doing post-op. The dr gave me a print out of the progression from liquid to soft food and literally that’s it. I didn’t have to do the liquid diet, just clear liquids the day before the surgery, and was told to try to eliminate sugar to soften my liver. I have no information on proportion sizes, how many calories, protein I should be getting daily. It all happened so fast, I wasn’t prepared. I had a horrible experience in the hospital and ended up having internal bleeding, needed blood transfusion... my oxygen level drop down to mid 50’s a few times. I stayed in the hospital for 5 days. I’m still bruised and sore 😕 I’m starting to feel better and would like to figure out a game plan since I can’t rely on the dr. Any suggestions on where I could find similar information that you would receive from a dietician? I’m guessing that’s my best bet. Incase you were curious... I attached a picture of my bruising about 8-9 days after surgery. look how massive they are! That’s not my stomach, although it looks like one:( it’s my waist/hip area. Any help/advice would be appreciated also, anyone else still sore 4 weeks after surgery? I still struggle with steps and getting in and out of bed. I had a horrible experience in the hospital and ended up having internal bleeding, needed blood transfusion... my oxygen level drop down to mid 50’s a few times. I stayed in the hospital for 5 days. I’m still quite swollen and bruised so I think I will lose a few more once I’m completely healed. look how massive they are!

  5. I just had a revision from sleeve to rny on 12/12 due to horrible reflux and barrets esophagus. I started at 180 and have lost 20 pounds.
