Recommended Posts

I had lymphoma 5 years ago then did bone marrow transplantation 4years ago. I had sleeve surgery 38 days ago my surgeon told me to eat 2capsules of multi Vitamin a day but my oncologist told me that u must not! Eat Multivitamin it may cause that ur cancer comes back! I don't now what to do ? Any one with this experience? Do u still eat Multivitamin?

I hope you find your answers soon, I'm no doctor and I just don't and can't fathom having what your body needs is a cause for cancer to come back. 80% or more of cancer is usually diet related, like processed foods and tons of sugar (which it thrives on). Congrats on beating the cancer! And good for you to take charge of your health with the sleeve. I really do hope you find your answers!

I've never heard of such a thing. In 1999 I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma stage 4 (aggressive). I had a stem cell transplant using my own stem cells. After going through chemo if you did I simply can't imagine a Dr. saying not to take Multivitamin. I am NOT a Dr. but I would certainly get a second opinion on that. Good luck and congrats getting thru your bout with cancer. God bless hun.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
