WLS myths was protein info

[Guest guest]

ROFLMAO!

My bariatric surgeon sai dthe same thing when I asked him about post

op pain releivers. He said that WLS patients have no higher risk of

ulcers from aspirin than the general public. He said there were a

lot of " myths " out there.

Then I reminded him that I learned that " myth " from his own staff

run support group! Go figure!!!

reason I almost didn't have it was because there were not enough

longitudinal studies, but I found out enough to convince me this was

the path for me. While I like hearing other people's personal

experiences on boards, that is totally different from good, sound

research on WLS issues. Someone tells me that we hardly absorb any

protein from solids foods, they need to have the data to back it up

before I am going to believe it and change my daily eating.

we may or may not be of higher risk but the results of such ulcers

are much more devistating as there is so much less stomach surface

area and if the ulcers happen to be formed in the old stomach...then

it is much harder to take care of as coating type meds can not get

into the old stomach so ... YGWYPF

just my 0.02 as always

Peach,

I so agree with you. We need to safeguard our health. After all that

is the main reason we had the surgery. If we can avoid a health

issue it is better to play it safe.

That is why I was so shocked at my bariatric surgeon's nonchalant

attitude about NSAIDS! Especially after his own support group

advised AGAINST using NSAIDS for pain relief!

You are right--You get what you pay for. I have been less than

satified about his post op care. I feel like he got his money for

the surgery and he is done with me. However, I took personal

resposibility for my health and found an endocriniologist to deal

with my post op health issues. She was the first one to advise me

against starting my plastics since my labs were poor and I was a

poor candidate for plastic surgery right now.

A week later my PS agreed with her when he reviewed my lab work. He

took me off calendar until my health improves. After all I underwent

a biopsy, D & C, a CAT scan, barium swallow test and an endoscope

all in one month! I need to allow my body to heal. I return to have

polyps removed next week.
