I didn't realize that. I am 63 yrs old.

3 week post off and it has been going well, except for a lot of pain around the tube to my remnant stomach. Found out at my visit Mon. that my body mounted a full on immune defense (fancy words for allergy) to the temp stitches, tube and everything around that area. Tube was removed on Mon. and...

I also have a tube, which for me, is very painful. Week 3 is this Monday, so I pray it is removed then. Are you eating normally, but less, now?

Great Job! Congrats! You have found a great form to sign up for and you have done amazing! Did everything go smoothly or is there an issue you can inform the group about. I had RNY on Dec 11. Keep up the great work.

keep up the good work. We' proud of you!

everyone is different. I have a tube from my remnant stomach which is just below my left boob. Have been wearing loose fitting clothes since surgery. A few days after the tube is removed, I will try to wear a bra, then hopefully reg. clothes. Everyone suggested elastic waist bands for pants, as...

Congrats for a great year. You have done amazing. Happy Holidays!

So sorry you have the flu. I hope you recover quickly and easily. Take care of yourself!

I 1 week post RNY and my surgeon advanced me to pureed foods before I left the hospital. You need to drink the recommended amt. Just sip, sip, sip throughout the day. Anything that you "eat" throw in a blender and make sure there are no solid chunks. One of my favs is masked potato and low fat...

Everyone's body is different and their reaction will be. The national statistics are extremely positive as long as you have an experienced surgeon. I am a little over a week post RNY, and the statistics for my age and poor health were 15% for complications instead of the usual 0.5%. Knock on...

Thanks for the reply. I totally agree with you, however, with all the meds floating around in me, I don't think to well some times. A lot of my frustration with this is the poor concern for patients at the hospital I choose. It is a center of excellence, but, the care is for the numbers...

I am so sorry StinkerBell. You are, of course, correct. I'm afraid I turned to you in the mists of an emotional upheaval. The doc finally called back and it was decided that the blood is probably due to some violent coughing spell. They reviewed with me how to protect the area when coughing and...

Thanks for your reply. I suppose you are correct about the diapers. But I am taking all the paid pills I am allowed and have some actual pain relief for only about 15 minutes. I am not aware of any conditions. When I complained in the hospital the doc said, well, you have about 7 stab wounds in...

Finally home! 4 Days post op and my first full day home. I am so glad it is over. Although my time in the hospital was a comedy of errors (well I'm sure it will be funny in a few days or months), I am keeping in mind all the benefits that this surgery can offer. I am sure the amount of issues I...

Welcome to our group. There is tons of information and advice here. Had my RNY on Dec. 11, so I have just stared my new self. Please join in all you can and learn all you can. In the end, you have to decide what is best for you. Good luck and aks away. We'll try to help all we can.

Thanks fantasticreality!

Stinkerbelle, you are the best!

OMG I can't believe that surgery is only 2 days and a wake up away To excited, nervous and busy and feel like I am beside myself. lol Feel like I have researched this as much as possible, bought enough protein shakes and I couldn't be more ready..... except knowing the time. That call will be...

hmmmm. that would certainly make surgery easy....... (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Sorry you are having such a hard time. Just remember..... if she says no, go elsewhere. In fact, all they can really do is advise. She may ask you to go to a counseling session or two, but that's about it. I hated the social worker that I saw. She was a bossy now-it-all and everything I said...
