My husband and I have booked an 8-day cruise. We normally would have one to two mixed drinks each day. My beverage of choice has always been Vodka tonics. I know I no longer can have them (if for no other reason) due to the carbonation. Do any of you know of any kind of drink that I could...

Since January 21, I haven't lost weight but keep bouncing between 200 and 202 pounds. Sometimes I'll even weight myself first thing in the morning and weigh 202 - then weigh myself again mid afternoon and weight 200 (2 pounds less). I'm working out about 45 minutes each day on the treadmill...

I had gastric bypass surgery about 10 weeks ago and am in the process of introducing "normal" food into my diet. For some reason, I'm able to tolerate some new foods a few times. Then my body says "nope", I'm not going to let it stay down. I seem to get sick around 3 times per week. Is...

My gastric bypass surgery is scheduled for this coming Monday. I was just having a conversation with my husband and he made the comment to me that "if I regained my weight, he was going to be really cuss word, cuss word". He's never talked to me in that manner. I'm totally crushed that he...

Have any of you had an allergic reaction (itching, blisters, etc.) from the surgical glue that's used in gastric bypass surgery. The person in the next bed of a friend of mine who just had the surgery broke out really badly. If you've had the problem, how was it "fixed"?

I have to take 120 MG of Lasix each day along with my blood pressure medicine to keep my blood pressure within a normal range and reduce excess fluid around my ankles. Does anyone else take this medicine after gastric bypass?

I've had a complete (and I do mean) complete blood work-up. Everything fell within normal range, thank goodness (check). Also, had a consult with my psychiatrist to make sure he was on board and to get his advice on my meds (check-check). Today, I had my appointments with the nutritionist and...

I keep hearing people mention a sleep apnea test. Does everyone have to have the test? I've never had trouble sleeping.

I have to take several medicines due to health problems. The type of problems I have won't be corrected with the surgery. Does anyone know how I'll be taking the medicines?

Have any of you had your surgery done by Dr. Simon at JFK Memorial Hospital outside of Lake Worth, FL? If so, please give me the pre-surgery requirements, post-surgery requirements and if you were happy with the surgery. Also, did it take long to get the necessary insurance approvals. Thanks.
