It's Oh So Quiet ...



Recommended Posts

Is it just me or has the forum been deathly quiet since the changeover? I had to wait a while before it would let me sign in so I wonder if lots of other people are having technical problems too. :-/

No it does totally seem quiet. I see tons of stuff by the sleeve folks but us rny folks are kinda laying quiet it seems. I'm going through serious withdrawals! Hate missing out on everything and everyone. Amazing how attached I feel to all my rny folks :)

It's sooooo lonely!!!! I can't find the threads I usually read. I get frustrated reading peoples rude comments about the changes (yes it sucks but seriously, they're not murdering people...) and there's so much not pertinent stuff to weed through...just frustrating. We'll get our groove back :)

I thought there were no other gastric bypass people on here....I keep seeing sleeve and band. I am so glad I saw you all here, people I recognize that had bypass.

When I click on 'New Content' on the right - it's almost all from the 'bands' forum. I just looked again and the whole page was bands and one new topic from the 'men's room' forum ... weird.

On the website (not app) - go to your profile and choose Gastric Bypass from the drop-down menu to change the defaults (mine was showing the lapband forums until I did this), so you'll see more of the Bypass forums.

It defaulted a lot of us to band so we're getting just the band threads, but yup, do as they said above and it'll change.

Hi everyone, just found this thread, not a fan of this new site/app can't find so many threads and can't open a lot of those I can find. Tried to amend settings on the web as suggested but couldn't see what to do. Had surgery last Weds and starting to feel a bit better today. Been in quite a bit of pain, gas mainly I think as it's all around my lower chest, sholders and ribs, been a bit weepy and very tired but haven't cried today so very pleased :-) have really missed not catching up with all your news because of the change with this forum, I sooooo hope it improves soon.

No question is stupid. Look in the patient data part of your profile. Hopefully this picture is worth a thousand words (and no more headaches):

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
