Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hi Joyce, Congratulations on your approval for the revision. Plus Dr.K is the best! I have a question. My friend just had the RNY last November. She was my support person when I had the DS. She chose the RNY because of her insurance. So far she has been doing fine. But I have heard so much negative things about that surgery.. I know everyone doesn't have the same results..But I am concerned about her long term weight loss.. Do you mind telling me what your experience with the RNY was? Good Luck !!!! ________________________________ To: DS_Friends_Keshishian Sent: Tue, April 27, 2010 6:45:48 PM Subject: Re: Woooo HOOOOO!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Thanks ! You are absolutely right…everyone’s results vary with not only the ERny but all surgeries. My experience has been awful, sprinkled with a few days of being thrilled over my huge weight loss! LOL! It’s like, “Dang! I’m in a size 2 but man o man I have explosive poop and will probably ruin the outfit!â€Â ….TMI, right? Sorry! But…I’ve often felt like I sold my soul to the Devil to get thin. Your friend will probably be fine. Most Erny’s (aka Distal) are 100 plus with their common channel. Mine was just 50. I know that many DS’ers do fine with a 50 but it was overkill for my system. I’ve also been told by other patient’s of the same surgeon that when opened up, their 50 was actually much shorter! Just have your friend stay hooked up with Vitalady and keep those supplements rolling in. Focus on the protein and stay clear of the junk (same recipe for all of us, right?! LOL!) and she’ll be fine. …..but, if she has problems then you and I both know a great surgeon we can steer her towards!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Joyce, Thank you for your answer reguarding the RNY. I know my friend didn't have the (distal) RNY.. One thing I do know is she isn't keeping up with her vitamins..I don't know what the post op life is after the RNY? So I don't know if the vitamins are as important for her as they are for us DS people? To: DS_Friends_Keshishian Sent: Wed, April 28, 2010 3:26:24 PMSubject: RE: Re: Woooo HOOOOO! Thanks !

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 The Rny list isn’t as long but the need for multi’s, B12, calcium citrate, c, iron plus a few others; depending on labs….is AS important for any Rny as it is for the DS’ers. Deficiency hurts all of us. Maybe you could invite her to one of Vitalady’s stopover get together’s on her Vita tour. You can get the details on her website. That’s a low key and FUN approach to teaching/learningJ Joyce From: DS_Friends_Keshishian [mailto:DS_Friends_Keshishian ] On Behalf Of Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 4:28 PM To: DS_Friends_Keshishian Subject: Re: Re: Woooo HOOOOO!
