Hi Dannies you should contact the surgeon who did your surgery if you havent already and let them know your symptoms. They will be able to suggest the next steps for you

When did you notice the scale moving?
tarotcardreader replied to Leafy's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
No i ws telling you to share that info with your medical team so they can better assist you -
Make sure you call your surgeon. You can usually talk to your bariatric nurse for ideas as well. Did they not give you an IV while there? You can have your surgeon set up an outpatient IV to get you hydrated again. Dehydration can cause vomiting.

gastric bypass more effective?
tarotcardreader replied to dal101's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi. No, the switch is best. The rny is more weightloss than the band and the sleeve statistically with what little length in time data we have on sleeve. The period is 12-18 months. -

Eating makes me feel sick, is this the new normal?

Is there a portion measurement such as one ounce where you dont get symptoms after? -
can anyone help me please ?
tarotcardreader replied to Kay Smith's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
UK medicine is a bit different from ours. It really sucks that you got a complication and the surgeon isnt helping with the pain. Did you get the patient advocate recommended by the other poster? -

CPAP machine for my apnea filling stomach with air?
tarotcardreader replied to ClintoftheRocks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The jury is still out. The medical community seems divided about this right now. Some don’t allow cpap Initially post op in the hospital for that reason. I use cpap and have a pouch and others have as well. If you are having stomach problems make sure to consult your surgeon since its his handiwork -
Heart palpitations, dehydrated or naughty eating habit?
tarotcardreader replied to Kristi schumann's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tek’s right could be dumping but could be unrelated. Glad to hear you called your doctor to be safe. I’ve been dehydrated enough to need an iv Before but did not suffer Palpitations from it. I think if you know you are low on the water might be time for you to research ways to make that easier for you. I pretty much log everytime i eat or drink in a book and an obnoxious thirty minute minute timer goes off every thirty minutes over here but i am meeting the minimums. Its awful but you got to make time for it in your life. -
Healthier, But Lonelier
tarotcardreader replied to kc892020's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey i think youre brave for sharing your story with most people. Thisll help other obese people To have hope that perhaps bariatric surgery will help them as well. People downplay that obesity kills. Better alive with unnatural anatomy then dead with no potential for improvement. As for dating i agree to find other activities but most people do like to eat. I once read soup is a good thing to order as a bariatric patient When out with others and most places seem to have it. Keep up the good fight! -
9/16 Surgery.....Struggling with some issues
tarotcardreader replied to OnMyWay1956's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like you are making good progress 🎉. Congrats on less medicine and weight lost. For those weeks i found alot of stuff could actually be pureed. Egg salad chicken salad. My significant other Also pureed chicken with alfredo sauce. I think just pretty much can be creamerized in the nutribullet or magic bullet lol. I also was allowed to eat egg whites in that phase and did with some laughing cow cheese spread on top. I wasnt in pureed long enough to really get an arsenal of recipes. Oh also i want to mention i set my phone timer for thirty minutes after i eat or drink. -
