Doing moderately good, don't know,how @Ellie123 could do this 3 different times, once down the old Bariatric Trail is going to be enough for Yours Truly . Like hanging, once usually suffices!🔕📥

One other "Quick Mommy" on BP was on a prenatal and bariatric regime at the same time. Her doctors rationalized it as "Junior will take what he needs the rest is for you and your body to recover" and Junior came out at 6 pounds 11 ounces and very healthy. Smile honey, I'm sure they are watching over you👩 &👶 both!

I hate been crabby,but why is my experience so different? was there something majorly wrong with me? Tomkitten waited in the fifth,floor attrium, very pretty,reminds one,of an conservatory. And while I'm undergoing,my surgery he has a pager and a card with my patient number and color- coding, starting with arriving/ checking in at registration.clear up to" in patient room waiting for family/significant other". According to this. I spent significant time in recovery, can't prove it by me. No,urinary catheter, no pain button to push, if I needed pain meds they must have gone,in my IV, never,had to ask for any. No gas, not,even drop of gas pain. Wore the same patient gown all time through, so no bath, no shower, none offered. Kept same IV they started before surgery. First,one,i can remember than didn't infiltrate, didn't roll. Took me to bathroom once, so I do,know what it looked like, rest if time from then on , bedside commode to the foot and slightly,to left of my,bed. Measured my output, must of have been q.s. because no one asked me to increase intake. First day was water, then flavored water. Second day milky drinks in multiple flavors. Third day they sent me home, with a bunch of different bottles, all with OSU crest, still didn't mind the free advertising. Never did get,what I though a meal would be, chicken broth, sugar free,pudding, popsicles, jello -Nada. They,took me with a walker once,down the,hall to nurses station and then back, again. Never, never left my room again. I didn't swoon,i didn't stumble, why was I put on room arrest? Yes, I had my Tomkitten , without him it would have been flippen lonely in that private room, I never was allowed. to potty myself, had to wake for help every time. Oh they did come every time, but as i look back, why did I have to beg? When I look back, I worked Long Term Care ( aka nursing home) for yearns my patients/clients seldom. had to ring because I checked on them frequently. The only monitoring I had was EKG leads, this way if I had a stroke or 💔 attack,Tomkitten wouldn't have to walk to the hall to tell them. I was allowed up in the bedside chair once so they could straighten my bed. Now contrast that with an account from earlier Bariatric Pal days " Dr Procter did my surgery in the morning, who should I see but Sandie Smithley, who I knew from going to Dr Procter's office? She had her surgery early the same afternoon. The rest,of our time there we took our walks together, and even now since we both went home, we check up on each,other frequently" Now who had the more righteous surgical experience? Perhaps I should have begged them to take,me for walks in the hall? But on the other hand at 72 why should I have to BEG for anything? Am I fit for only ignoring? There is enough "age contempt" in the world without them adding to it! I realize this thread was not started in the Rants section but perhaps my answer should be.💦😳💦

You got your sleeve on my Birthday, honor our special. day by getting your act back together. I believe you can do it, you were given a renewed lease on life with,your surgery, and instead of ignoring it I believe you are going to have a renewed sense of working with it for YOU. And each thing that turned around you are going to say I AM TIFFANY TERRIFIC AND I can & will do this ALL. And I think you Can!

But what are you eating? Are you hesitant to post? If you truly feel you are getting off track but do not want to post, be honest with yourself. Track your intake on a app like MyFitnessPal and I mean track every bite that passes your lips. Are you letting some snacking creep back in? Are some slider foods finding their way back into your diet? Are you drinking with meals now or have you followed the no drinking before and after eating rule? Are you exercising at all? If you feel you have stretched your sleeve it’s normally a concern of someone that has been overeating. Reach out to your bariatric nutritionist if possible. You are not yet a year out from surgery so you can definitely recover if you seek the proper help ASAP. Best of luck.

Katbad, I don't know how it is that I'm just seeing your post now. How are you doing?! Would love to hear an update. Also, would love to meet up at the Methodist support group if you're interested/able. 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month 5:30-6:30. Meets in the lobby of the clinic. Also, if you have interest, there is a strengthening group that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at the hospital's gym. Let me know if you'd like details. It's a small group, (2-5 people usually) so plenty of attention to making sure form is good to prevent injuries and all are bariatric patients, so lots to talk about as we get stronger.

Hi everyone, I asked this on an old thread (I'm new here) but I think it was the wrong spot. I'm due to have my MGB (revision from Lapband) on Oct 16. I have a question about medication. I have a small tablet I have to take every day (not bariatric related). Are you able to take a small tablet immediately after surgery? Or does it need to be crushed? Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm jumping on an old thread to ask if anyone had experience with how it was taking meds immediately after surgery. I have a small tablet I must take everyday (not bariatric related). Can I still take it even straight after surgery? I'm going to ask my consultant but I don't want to sound like a dill. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Well thank you. Cindy t, I have had several mentors here on Bariatric Pal , it will be my honor to,pay it forward. It hasn't always been easy,since September 5th, in fact the last 18 hours have been horrid, but I will,bounce back,up to the top.

Hi, this is my 1st post. I’m looking into RNY in Mexico. I was approved in the states only to find out that our insurance didn’t cover Bariatrics at the end of my consult. Most posts I find are about VSG. I’m looking for input of those of you who had RNY in Mexico and how after care has been. I think one of my biggest fears is if I have any complications and need to be seen. I’m located near San Antonio,Texas. So if anyone is near that area it’s even better. Thank you!

The health risks with PPIs seems to be with long term use. Taking them for 3-6 months after bariatric surgery is pretty low risk and will help with healing. The big issue is that people with GERD/reflux often take them for much longer in lieu of working with a gastroenterologist to determine & treat root cause. I think anyone with pre-existing GERD should have RNY instead of VSG as gastric bypass will often resolve it; whereas VSG often worsens or causes GERD. Therefore, if people have VSG they should be prepared to revise to RNY if they develop GERD post-op, instead of just taking PPIs for life.

I don't think there's any real need to pay for a bariatric keto program unless you specifically need the hand holding. Low carb keto principles are all over the web. But for most of us, the higher fat levels don't work either keeping us from losing fully or making us nauseated. I just keep my macros very simple. Let's say for instance, that most people who are consistently losing are keeping calories in the 800-1000cal range. So the macros for 1000cals on a female of normal construction (ie not a body lifter, not large framed 6foot. I'm talking average 5'4" female): 30% Protein (75g protein); 60% Fat (67g fat); 10% Carbs (25g carbs--from low glycemic veggies, nuts, seeds, dairy, and low glycemic berries in small amounts). There are NO required carbs. None. Cuz the liver can make every spec of glucose needed for those few cells that require glucose and that can't run on ketones. Otherwise, fat from your body (and a tiny bit from your diet) supplies the ketones needed for fuel for your body. (For me, I have to keep fats lower cuz it makes me nauseated. So my most recent macros are more like: 30% Protein (75g prot); 50% Fat (56g); 20% Carbs (50g carbs)--My carbs usually around 30-40g whole per day and once you subtract out fiber, they are closer to 25-30g. I am def. in ketosis. But honestly most days I don't make 1000 cals either. I do get my protein range from my RD of 60-75g protein though. It's pretty simple. Lean meats/proteins, limit cheese and processed meats a "tiny" bit. Lots of leafy greens and low glycemic veg and a tiny bit of low carb berries if desired. Nuts/seeds/avocado/healthy fats. Healthy dairy if carbs and cals allow. And stay away from legumes, grains, sugar and as much sugar alcohols as possible. Eat cleanly and shop from the outer isles. Drink 100oz of water a day or a little more. Exercise (walk at the very least).

I have been researching Bariatric Keto, and there is a specific reset. It differs from regular keto in that it is protein, moderate fat, low carb. It seems to be very successful. I suggest looking it up.

I had GERD before sleeve surgery. In the past, I had some pretty bad bouts of it where it caused chest pain. I also had GERD pretty bad with the band. I'd also go long periods with nothing, so it was a mystery. When I started looking into another bariatric surgery, my surgeon cautioned me, but continued to perform pre-op testing. The doctor felt that my GERD was "situational", meaning that it was related to diet and obesity. So, we decided it was worth the risk, but he warned that there were no guarantees that I wouldn't have GERD after the sleeve. I had surgery on 4/10/18 and about 3 weeks afterwards, I started getting heartburn. I started on Nexium right away and the symptoms are well controlled with it. I wouldn't say that it's severe or "intractable" as my psych evaluator so kindly put it. It's just a little bit of heartburn and if I eat too late in the evening, I will wake with a sore throat (easily remedied by sleeping on an inclined bed). My advice, discuss with your doctor. Every person is different and every person will respond differently.

If your doctor recommended wls to begin with then he should've had no reason to suddenly change his mind. I would ask him what changed between his initial recommendation and now. I think there are some people who don't have a PCP and go straight to a bariatric center for help.

@ motion,how did things go? Trust things are starting to smooth out for you, hadn't seen anything from,you post surgery And an update from Precious Pouch vs Frustr8, we have had a few minor skirmishes. Like "The King and I" Getting to know you! Getting to know all about you! Precious was very peeved when upon the order of Joann my Aftercare Nurse/ Coordinator at OsU, I Had to take a Dose of MOM. You see i,had not had a BM since September 3rd and it was September12. I had to speak firmly with her. First i,called her a female dog, unkind but how I felt. Then I reminded her, as a pouch, I owned her, she merely,only THOUGHT she owned me. Now WE are going to,keep THAT lovely Cherry MOM down in Frustr8 where,it is going to do,good . And she was muttering " I want to,make you hurt, I want you to barf,this up" But the Day before Dr Needleman and Rachel, the dietician both assured me Precious Pouch could even handle Stage 3 diet. So quit,your Bellyaching! You see,i was faithfully,taking a Dose or Miralax every day and the fecal total was Sluggish Sleeping Colon 11 days- Frustr8 0, I hadn't worried, no distress, I was on Protein shake, protein water, calorie free flavored liquids, my multi-vitamins, I figured the urge would return when it was ready. And I was shooting in my Lovenox, not offending my pouch greatly, getting her to accept 1/4 c,of of things gingerly, teensy-spoon-tips at a time. Wednesday I was about ready to mix up a bowl of mashed potatoes and feel sorry for myself. I'm confessing, these things it because they are prideful things, as I look back that wasn't me thinking as well as reacting See I had a quiet,painfree, start to this post- surgery career. Wasn't really taking my Tylenol, why,should,I,? I wasn't hurting thought,i was on top of things . Then Sunday I had when,i call,the"Purple Rain" incident. I was,lying down watching,baseball,and my belly. Silly-sounding,nut my beli,glikes fresh air. Noticed a purple mottling in my left subcostal area, not near any incisions. If we are counting,I,HAVE 6. Okay,everybody might have bruising, swelling,,even a little redness, these are surgical,wounds after all. This seemed different, and I watched it March across. my Tummy in close formation, rather like Napoleon and his troops. Weirdly,around each incision was a circle of white. What do I do? Call Dr Needleman ? Would he want his Sunday afternoon disturbed by a dingy broad with a Technicolor belly? Sound I drag myself out to the local BandAid Station, my community hospital , staffed by the Keystone Kops, sometimes I think they diagnose by Dartboard. Besides if I had much trust in them I wouldn't have gone 48 miles to Columbus for my RnY. So I took inventory Swelling Yes slight but not much Pain Negligible Appearance Now that ones weird, but it stopped about 7/8 of the way across. Wasn't going any farther. If it were really serious, like something twisted, I would be in violent pain, puking without ceasing like i did with panceatitis, a condition I would only wish on my worst enemy. I gently prodded my side, didn't feel any more than usual distenion. Figured Tomkitten could call the local Emergency Squad if I passed out. So I spent an okay night and into Monday,looking like I had been impregnated by an alien and was Now carrying his child. When Joann my Aftercare Nurse Coordinator for OSU called on Monday I brought up the "Purple Veil", she admitted this was a new one to her, told me she would talk this over with the resident on duty and get back with me on Tuesday morning. 15 minutes later she called back and said Dr Needleman would like to see me at 1 PM Tuesday, could imake it to Columbus then? Might be difficult, but one does not ignore a summons from the Great Oz. When I saw him that day he agreed , said is was indeed odd, but he had a theory. With all the magic maneuvering of bariatric surgery a little skin blood vessel,go traumatized, it was just lying there until I got a sufficent level of Lovenox in my body and it either popped open or the microbial started oozing, the blood had no where,it to go except between my fat layer and skin. Okay I guess that makes some sense after all. Just watch for new waves across the belly otherwise I will be okay. He is gratified how well I am healing and proceeds to start yanking off steri-strips with great fervor. What do you know? He didn't just trace a design on my skin with his scalpel, after all. At the base of each,is 1 or 2. little black sutures. And as he pulled off each the air hit them they started throbbing, yes the pain I should have had from the beginning, I laid still but the groin-attacking knee started twitching. If he had put in 12 stitches, he might gave regained the upper vocal range he lost at puberty. And it really is a hard thing to control. it is not a superficial pain for,me, and the worst is Big Red, an incision with a mind of his own. I guess on Bypassers the right side big incision,is the one where. the big important business goes. Certainly seems to be wider and deeper. I know for sleevers it's the left,one where they pull your stomach remnant out. And I have not been totally,painfree since, had to resort to Norco a couple times, me, who hadn't needed,any pain relief prior. To paraphrase Ricky Ricardo of I LOVE LUCY, Bradley, you got some 'splaing to do! Oh he also upgraded me to Stage 3 diet, that I am grateful for, much more dietary variety, but the incision pain? I wish Calvin come take it away! So Wednesday things were hurting, I was hurting, crying in the,midst,of fresh new threatening bills I can't pay, pie in the sky assurances that my insurance case was settled in my favor and we are waiting on the pay-off, a payoff the opposing party, as a self- insured enity feels no real urge to complete, the Demand for Settlement was activated late Spring, we have gone through summer, are going into Autumn, and still they sit on their coperate treasure chests and snicker. I have bills I can only pay minimum if at all, a landlord who either thinks Social Security pays phenomenally well( it doesnt) or I have my settlement and just want to share, utilities threatening shut-off, insurances threatening termination, if my life insurance does, I can't ever afford any more, my son will have nothing to bury me with. So I have shut-off, termination, eviction, I feel bayseous, in pain, too dizzy to walk it off, no wonder I was having a PLOM moment, thank you @ MrsGamgee for the term. Stands for Poor Little Old Me, and I was really feeling it. So Joann talked me off the cliff, Or in my case, away,from the bowl of warm soothing slider carbs. We chatted and finally decided a portion of,my sorrow was being full of something that already,should have left. So today,when she calls I can report results, not relief because I was not feeling colonic distress. First BM was weird, not black, thought,it,might be, after all a little gastric bleeding? Nope kudos to Bradley J Needleman here, no trauma, merely dark brown and would not flush free. Multiple flushing and Tomkitten had to finally scrub it loose. Since then what Biddy as from New Zealand calls "Fart with follow- thru" not so formed but perhaps passable,in all facets. Am I sorry I had it done? Heck no! Don't appreciate the bumpy ride but would not go back where I was, now down 54 pounds from my highest weight haven't broke the 300 pound barrier, maybe this week, but this will still be the making of a Brand New Frustr8 and I celebrate that highly! And my younger Buds who are whimpering with your hormones zigzagging and undesirable body happenings. Well good ole Frustr8 has one of her own, I have, on top of my grief. and woes, developed the Cold Sore from Hades on my upper Right lip. I look like someone tried to burn me with. a lit cigarette , I almost never get a cold sore!

I asked my partner to attend a bariatric support group with me last night. I have been going since the beginning of the year (I have 4 months left before my insurance will review me for approval). The topic of last night's meeting was specifically support networks. He did not say or ask anything during the group but there was a heavy focus on the changes that will effect that the support person, especially spouses and people in the same household as the patient. He and I have been on a low carb diet for three months and I have lost about 12lbs through diet and exercise - I am very comfortable with this eating style. Mind you, I am still 100lbs overweight. At dinner, he asked why I could not just continue the diet and exercise regiment instead of getting surgery (DUH I HAVEN'T TRIED THAT IN THE LAST 20+ YEARS!) I was upset because the last nine months he has never once aired any concern about surgery until going to this group and hearing how this will affect him and now thinks that I may become "miserable" to deal with if I regret my choice to have surgery. Does anyone have experience with overcoming the anxieties of the people you rely on the most? He does not have the ability to attend appointments that I have during the daytime hours like with the nutritionist or surgeon and I don't believe that he would take the time read articles that I might find to show that the long term ineffectiveness of weight loss without surgery for the morbidly obese.

You need to make an appointment with a qualified Dr. Do you see anyone for your type 1 diabetes? I think your question is out of scope for advice from the internet. Please take care of yourself. Just remember just because you can doesn't mean you should especially as a type 1 diabetic post bariatric patient. Make an appointment! (I say with kindness and concern)

I am looking into a bariatric surgery group near me. Let's hope they can help get me back on track. Ultimately, it's up to me. It was just so easy at first I thought that's what I'd have forever... Sent from my Z971 using BariatricPal mobile app

April, I just booked my gastric sleeve for December 19. I am going to Blossom Bariatrics in Las Vegas as I am self pay. It will be Happy Holidays with our new sleeves! We'll start the new year creating a new us! --Marie

I had to do six months of nutritionist appointments and had to see a counselor twice and lose ten pound, plus go through the usual pre op diet to shrink my liver. I then had to see the Bariatric nurse practitioner several time over the first 18 months. I now see them yearly and do yearly blood work. So I have a hard time understanding people who do none of these things.

Chapter 2 continued. At 6 days post I was advanced to Stage 3, thats okay, it gives me much more food options. But still pretty rare to happen so early. Now What I Consider Bad Every since Dr Needleman yanked, jerked, removed, whatever you want to call it, my steri strips , and the air hit I had had pain, the kind I should have had from the beginning, and,it hasn't stopped, Norco does deaden it but at what cost? Dopeiness and constipation risk? My groin attacking knee did twitch a little when he relentlessly was tugging and folding up,tapes. I have a list of foods I can in theory eat, either I do not like them or I don't have the money to afford them Don't tell me to go to good pantries, the ones around here pass out Kraft,or Generic Boxed Mac and cheese not bariatric friendly foods. Meanwhile, Big Red, the largest and I suspect deepest of my right side ones, Bypassers have ours on the right where the Big Guns go,in, sleevers on the left where they pull your stomach remnant out. He and Precious Pouch,are taking turns being crabby. I have not,amused either physically but they are doing the organic equivalent,of muttering. Yesterday I had had it. I was uncomfortable, bills piling up around me, Jerk Mc Gurk somewhere in the wings, I was about ready to,make a bowl of mashed potatoes and start eating,until Precious Pouch either made me barf or she exploded. See,i was not feeling or thinking straight, I just was hurting so bad. Then Joann, the Aftercare Nurse-practioner/ Coordinated called. I had about been ready to call HER, nobody else cared, Tomkitten had closed his ears to me, everyone else who knew would say You asked for this, yeah I asked for my health to be repaired , I asked for a chance to live longer, I asked for something to stop me from drifting toward 400 lb 500 lb and a guest episode on My 600 lb Life and Dr Now, and I don't like him, I like my Dr Needleman! I did not ask for incisions I could hardly stand clothing on! She asked How are your BMs doing ? BM I haven't had one of them since late the 3rd or early the 4th, but I haven't been worried, no actual colon pain and I'm living on Protein Shakes, Protein Waters, no cal waters and my slew of multi vites and minerals. Maybe too soon for solid 💩? No silly you should at,least be having liquid poo if you are taking Miralax each and every day, and I had been. So I am full of something besides sunshine🌝and flowers🌺🍀🌸, 2 Miralax today, a full dose of MoM tonight and I want,notified Thursday if nothing has happened, well I don't want to make a quick trip to Columbus with this condition nor do I want to go to the local BandAid Station staffed by Sargent Peppers Lonely ❤Band. so late last night I took my dose,of Cherry MOM, oh Precious didn't like it at all, I called her a female dog, said I own you, you just think you Own me, you Will keep that down! Finally this AM I had results, not black,merely dark brown ,but water won't flush it down. Just sticks there. Relief , not so I can notice, just feels like the rest is heavy in my colon, but no urge to pass. Now I have to go out and pawn my portable electronics, tablets and DVD to have enough ready cash to pay the almost $50 water bill and buy a few groceries so Tomkitten can eat, I can fall back on 3 or 4 protein shakes daily to get by but he doesn't deserve to be punished. Next week maybe his portable TV so I can at least pay my life insurance, that way SS does not have to pay for a $255 unceremonial cremation. Funny this is not the life I Booked for,! but the sun still shines and thanks to Dr Needleman I'm still alive.😥

And another update was coming and here it is. Yesterday was a bad day, One week past surgery. Not OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE? nope none,of that it was WHY BODY,ARE YOU FAILLING ME AGAIN? I had went unexpectedly for a visit with my Surgeon due to the Strange Purple Rain. Sunday afternoon. I was lying on my bed watching,baseball and my belly. Okay strange but my Tummy likes fresh Air!. I noticed a strange purple mottling on my left subcostal area not THAT close to any incision areas. Hmmn I think, might bear some observing! Before that had startled in my own semi- imaginary guide, okay mostly,my journal of clippings, but I do have a dynamite title "DR,RNY'S GUIDE FOR THE APPREHENSIVE". Okay,i know,a little bruising around the trocar wounds/slashes/incisions is okay but this is like an alien has gotten under my skin and is having a party. And weirdly as it advances across my body I have a white circle around each incision. It feels warm, not hot, but distinctly,warm, it is slightly swollen to my eyes, and every stretch Mark on that side looks glowinly. back-lit.. Now in the once upon a time past I carried 3 different 9 pound babies,each laid in my body at a different angle, individuals even prenatally. At its best my stomach looks like to roadmap to Indianapolis with all the county roads marked. And this is not,one of TumTum's happiest day. Do I call my surgeon, would he want to be disturbed on Sunday for what might be only a visual problem? Do I trot myself,out to our local BandAid Station? The self-same community hospital who offered my cousin with gallbladder colic a Pap Test? I won't tell you her retort today, but if you look you'll probably find it on another thread. Besides if you,trusted them THAT much you would not,gone 48 miles for Bariatric Surgery. No super pain, so play the odds nothing is twisted, besides in 70s the amount of friends still with a license and driving diminishes daily. And meanwhile Evil Landlord Jerk Mc Gurk is sitting in his ivory palace 136 miles from here near the Indiana border, worrying that this widow might have 2 pennies to rub together and hasn't remitted them to him. I have rented from his family in this location for 18 years, 10 and a half from him,personally. Never had a written lease, didn't think I needed one. The Old adage of "If something,aint broke, don't try to fix it" Notified him when my finances took a plunge, ok we will work with it, one,month I was able to secure assistance from a social,service agency help make the balance, told me at that time We will help you once but not again. And I told him that. Next month, he demanded full payment, now if I told you the amount you would say,that's not SO Bad, but it is 46% of my Social Security stipend , if I pay my utilities, my insurances and the water and trash, neither of which,is pays it leaves my son and I $22.75 for food a week plus our transportation around town. Pretty dismal! I do have a Workmans Comp settlement looming in the future, oh I won the case, verified by BWC And the Industrial commision of my state and Demand for Settlement was submitted over 90 days ago. The problem : opposing party is an self-insured entity. They are sitting on their fat treasure chests saying Nah Nah we aren't in the mood to do anything . I was theur,loyal minion for over 11 years, even worked when I should have stayed home sick, in fact when we parted company I had 4 broken ribs and was still trying to work. Their feelings of responsibility towards me Pfft. And I feel certain Jerk Mc Gurk thinks I have my money and just don't want to share. So mean Mona his wife plunked a for Sale sign in my front yard. She has decided she wants to sell whether or not I am here, whether,or not I am recovering from Major Surgery, She Wants 💰 MONEY! Last day of August J.McG calked, said he would forgive me if I would remit him $1900 by cashiers check,yet that day he would condesend to forgive my manifest sins against him and his checkbook. OMG I said, I don't even make that much in Social Security monthly! He,then said maybe as a joke Why don't you just sign it over to ME this month? So the 24th of this month I have to go to my county courthouse for an eviction hearing . Lovely isn't it!
