Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 , Welcome to our group! Hopefully I'll be able to answer a few of your questions and maybe someone else has more in depth answers than I do. Everyone who has this surgery has to take vitamins for the rest of their life. Because the surgery causes our bodies to not absorb as many vitamins and minerals you need the additional supplements so that you don't get ill and what have you. You need those vitamins and minerals in order to continue living that beautiful life. Your hospital stay will vary with the type of surgery you have. I had Lap RNY with surgery scheduled on Friday and I was home Sunday afternoon. Some people have shorter stays and some longer. Your doctor will give you HIS estimate of how long he thinks you will be in. It also depends on if there are any other complications or not. Also I know you didn't ask this but just to let you know, you will receive a LOT of great advice from this site and any other you belong to or check out but remember one thing above all else, only your doctor can tell you what you need to do or not do. Doctors' recommended diets are all different, the amount of exercise, whether or not you have to have protein drinks, how often your lab work is performed, whether you have to have calcium supplements and B12 supplements-they all vary by each individual doctor. ALWAYS follow your doctor's advice about these things. I hope that you have a great visit and that all goes well. Good luck in your journey and again, welcome to the group! 432/384/170 Lap RNY 6/20/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 , Welcome! I'm sorry to hear you are having some problems. I am glad to hear you are going in for an Upper GI. I don't know what it could be, you may have a blockage, which they should fix right then and there, and you will be feeling much better. Take tiny sips of water to keep yourself hydrated. At any rate, keep us posted and let us know what your doctor said and how you're doing. cary 04/08/03 open rny -79lbs Dallas, TX > My name is and I would like to say Hi to all.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hello Everyone! I just wanted to say Hello and introduce myself...I am just now stepping off of the curb getting ready to take that walk down that long and winding road. I am so new to this that in two weeks I go for my second appointment! Just a little info on me...I weigh 285 and stand about 5'8 " . I tried about 3 years ago to get approval from my health insurance to get the surgery done but I was turned down (I had Health Net). I had gone to a couple of the meetings in Bakersfield to learn all I could. I now have Kaiser and again a Doctor that is willing to give their approval (but, it is up to the insurance.) I just wanted to say HELLO and I can't wait to meet and learn from everyone and give my support to everyone! I do want to say to those that have gotten their dates..CONGRADULATIONS!!!!! MANY BLESSINGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
