You can eat bananas. They've always been on my list from the nutritionist and surgeon. There is a particular reason why some may not be able to have certain food' date=' but bananas aren't off limits.[/quote']

I think they're not allowed for the OP because she's taking Coumadin for clots.

Basic yoga will get rid of muscle tightness. Stand up straight and bend forward and put your hands on the ground on either side of your feet.

You can also do downward facing dog which is where you get into pushup position and then move your butt back and up so you are now in a jackknife. That will stretch your back, arms and legs.

My lack of banana is due to medication not the sleeve. Still a bummer I love bananas.

I'm on Coumadin as well and had no idea we couldn't eat bananas.

Had the worst one today and my muscles are super crampy!!! I can't eat a banana or anything with potassium due to Coumadin and these stupid clots... Ugh!!! Grumpy momma!!

How long do you have to be on Coumadin?

Oh no :(

What happens when you eat bananas and your on coumadin?

Maybe call your physician to check in?

I will be on at least 6 months and anything high in Vitamin k makes your blood thicker and makes the Coumadin less effective. So its not forever just a bit.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
