OTC vitamins, suggestions
iwanttobethin replied to P7rancher's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use optisource Vitamins. They are specific for bariatric patients. I bought them at Walgreens. It's about $28 a month for them. They have an orange, citrus taste to them. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App -
Are requirements the same for revision?
iwanttobethin replied to IMissVegas's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had band to RNY revision 4/1/16. I just had to have 3 month preop appointments with the nutritionist. My insurance required that. Then I had to see pulmonologist, and that was my surgeon requesting that. My insurance denied me at first. I filed an appeal and typed up a 3 pg letter explaining why I needed this done. Best decision ever! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App -

Look what's on the Premier Protein website!

Does the premier Protein mess with anybody's G.I. tract? I was drinking them and they gave me diarrhea. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App -

I am 3 months post op. I'm down 45 lbs. My hair is starting to come out some, not much. I have a lot of hair! However, hair loss is temporary. I even had it with the band. I have seen many people that are much further out than me. I think they look great. Just be faithful about taking your Vitamins. I will be getting my labs done soon. The way I feel, I would think they are on point. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App I think you will do great! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I am extremely happy with my decision for revision from band to RNY. I feel so much better. No more acid reflux. I can actually eat salads and raw veggies now. I hadn't been able to in years. The surgery was no big deal, either. Minimal pain. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

my surgeon treating lap band removal and rny revision like separate cases?
iwanttobethin replied to offthebandwagon's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I'm glad that I had mine done in one. The recovery wasn't bad at all. If your surgeon says it's safe, then believe him. An advantage to doing it at once is that you only have to go under anesthesia once. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App -

Encouragement needed + How many oz per sitting week after RNY?
iwanttobethin replied to Alphabetize's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am one month out today. I haven't had any problems with restrictions on my liquid intake. In fact I can get 64 oz in, in a day. I think that everyone is so different in swelling and such, that restrictions are different for everyone. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

Ok, I think my protein has dairy in it. I better change it. I'm wondering if that's the issue. Thank you. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
