Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Hi Donna, You have come to the right place. There are answers here that you cannot find anywhere else. You probably already know that this is a rare disease and there are many doctors who do not know much about it. People on this list have been thru' what you are going thru right now and can help you. They have practical knowledge that will help to make your dad's life better. One thing you can do is learn everything you can about this disease. That will help your mom and you to take care of him. My dad has shy-drager too. Two years ago we didn't think he would live for even a few weeks. Donna, he is still here and doing well. There are many people who have lived years beyond what the doctors told them. You CAN live with shy-drager just like you can cancer or any other disease. You can make your dad's quality of life better by being there for him and you are already doing that. It is time for you to be the strong person that he taught you to be by his example. And you have already started by joining this group. They are good people and have answers for you just like they have for me for the past couple of years. I cried for at least 3 weeks when my dad was diagnosed! Each day you will be a little better. My dad was sad when he could not walk or drive anymore. But now he has learned to look for the things he can do. We laugh together and have learned to enjoy the little things in life. Stay here and ask questions.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 Okay, everyone: This is just the kind of post I'm really getting tired of. The post-holiday blues have brought some pretty feisty stuff out of the woodwork. Whatever, you're talking about and whoever you are, you should not be using this public forum to air your gripes. It's none of my business who you email personally. I'm doing it because I'm the moderator and want everyone to know that there is going to be zero tolerance for this kind of exchange. It starts a heated round of posts, and accomplishes nothing but wastes my time and everyone else's.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 We're all a little different. AS many doctors as do these procedures, just about, that's how many there are. Same basic design for RNY, but all different dimensions. A four-door sedan is still a four-door sedan, but a Toyota Corolla is not exactly the same as a Rolls, right? Each variation is right (or wrong) for someone. No, a multi vite is not enough. You did not mention your calcium citrate or iron.....?

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 the restrictive and malabsorption gastric bypass procedure commonly produce an increased risk of predictable nutrient deficiencies. There are predictable deficiencies of vitamin B12, iron, folate, and calcium absorption. Less common, are deficiencies in zinc and the fat soluble vitamins A, C, and E.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Joanne, Hey girl, we are tummytuck twins, I had mine Monday morning also! i am 5 days out today. Have you looked at yours? what are you using for dressings? I have no gauze, just sanitary napkins. I am tempted to drive to the closest market and try to get some gauze. mine burns and itches like crazy the pain meds make this go away, weird. also my drains are leaky and messy. I peeked down the front of binder last night and saw this distressed little patch of belly button all stitched with black thread it shocked me because it is so much higher, looks like 6 " or more higher! wow, my belly has been sagging and off center so long I have no idea what normal should look like for me... The nurse told me yesterday to go ahead and use sanitary napkins. could you get your binder back nice and tight, I'm affraid I cant get it to fit as good as it does right now. the binder rubs on my hip bones and it burns... can you emagine? wow. hugzzz flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Hi Caroline, It could very well be your gallbladder, could be trapped gas. I know that I have had a gallbladder attack before and once you have it you never forget it. To be on the safe side though you really should let your surgeon know. They found that I do have gallstones and had to do two endoscopy's on me to find out all they needed to know. Found that one stone had dislodged and got blocked in the valve and had to be dislodged. They are going to remove it when I have my wls. God Bless. WOLFIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 That may well be the technical explanation, I don't know. I just know that I've been told it can damage the stitches and complicate the healing process if you suck on anything. (With wisdom teeth, or other extractions, it can also contribute to dislodging the clot that forms at the site, which is definitely something you do not want to do, because then you are at greater risk for a dry socket, which is something you do not want to have.) Hope everyone doesn't think I'm just really stupid or > anything, but, why do you have to squeeze it in? > Does sucking through a straw or something mess up the > surgery? > > ... lol, who is very blonde .

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Thanx, Cammie. You're a doll. It's the thought that counts. I will get some of the Zippie jaw wraps. I don't know about you, but I believe when I lend something to someone that I shouldn't have to ask for it back. I collect videos/dvds. I have over 1,000 or should I say " had " ? I would lend them out to people (my kids used to try to get me to rent them out) and they would either not return them or would return them damaged. I lived in Pennsylvania for 3 years, moved away and then went back a year later. A co-worker of mine returned a video to me that I had loaned to her a year BEFORE I left and she returned it without the case! I told her she could keep it and I purchased another one (it was hard to find, but my daughter found it). Things like this really bother me...if I borrow something (which I almost never do), I take better care of it than the person I borrowed it from...anyway, that's a whole other can of worms. Yes, my OS did tell me about the steroids and I passed that info on to my hubby so he can expect the best, but be prepared for the worst. :-) Thanx, again, for your response. Smooches (unknown) OK, Miz Clear Day... I still don't understand that one. Anyhow. You're jazzed, and that's great! My guy has his partner as an assisting. " It's not cost-effective for us, but we just believe that it's better to have two minds and two sets of eyes and hands in the or to take better care of you. " A-MEN, and thank you, folks. Yours apparently seems to feel the same. Good that she's thinking carefully about where the nerves are. I believe that is one way to keep the sensation intact, which I was fortunate to have. And soooo nice that she took your lotsa questions nicely. Mine did, too, and I cannot tell you how much that meant. He actually answered almost all in his presentation, and when I brought up a few that he hadn't, he started a second presentation. Your hubby is indeed a good man, and he's right. You may not need him physically, but emotionally, it's good to be with someone you love, especially if you're swollen, and maybe depressed (did she tell you about the steroids? They can do that to the happiest person you ever knew, as can the aftermath of anesthesia. It's common with folks who have had heart procedures.) and you do not need to be worried about who's gonna fill the ice packs or heat packs or whatever. Do get the Zippie jaw wraps... I got a couple, and they were wonderful ... especially if you're expecting swelling. I would send you some of my leftovers, except that I loaned them to a nice, smart colleague who had wisdom tooth extraction, and although I've asked her twice, she hasn't returned them more than a year later... I guess that's a kind of testimonial, but it makes me unhappy. >:~< !! Cammie > Clear DayHey everybody. I'm apologizing first thing because this is gonna be extremely long. Sorry, but I am sooooo excited. I had my pre-op appointment today and I couldn't wait to get home and tell you all about it (am I addicted to this site and my orthognathic family or what?). > > I was pretty bummed out about the fact that I had to have molds done today...they have NEVER gone well for me. Weeelllll...now they have! My OS actually did the molds personally. I didn't gag on the junk, it didn't taste nasty, and she got it right the FIRST time - upper AND lower! > > When she came into the room where I was waiting, I handed her a sheet of paper with a loooong list of questions and said, " This is for when you ask me if I have any questions. " She kind of laughed and said, " Okay. " First she told me about the surgery...in full, graphic detail using skeletal models. She showed me everything from the type of plates she will be using to where the nerves come out of my face to where and how the split will be made in my jaw. She was very patient and caring and treated me as if I was the only person that mattered right now. > > Then she took the list I gave her and answered every question in such simple terms that even my grandbaby could understand. After she answered the last question on the list, she just smiled and asked me if I had any more questions. She gave me (get this) prenatal vitamins to start taking everyday. She said she wanted me to take get enough iron to thicken the blood in order to help prevent a lot of blood loss thus a lesser chance of needing a blood transfusion and that prenatal vitamins were the best thing for me to take. > > She also told me that the surgery will take anywhere from 3-1/2 to 6 hours. A surgeon from ton will come in to assist her. She said just in case anything goes wrong, that it's always better to have another surgeon in the OR She and this particular surgeon have done hundreds of these surgeries together. I will neither be wired nor banded, but I'll have to wear a splint and elastics for the first week. For six weeks, I will be on a soft diet...no chewing at all. My surgery will be on Thursday, 30 Oct, and I will stay in the hospital overnight and a second night if necessary. > > She told me about the swelling...saying that I will have a fat lip on top, swelling in the sinus areas and a HUUUGE bottom lip (making motions as she's describing this). I pictured myself looking like one of those puffer fish or a bullfrog. LOL She told me about the steroids and the morphine pump. I asked about the salt water solution for the congestion and she wasn't too keen on that idea. She said she has a spray that she will be sending home with me. I won't be allowed to blow my nose for six weeks. > > She also said that I cannot drink out of a straw for the first week, but can try it the next week if I feel up to it, but not to rush it. She recommended that I take of at least 2 weeks. She said that constipation may be a problem and for me to get " Benefiber " which is really good. Another good source of fiber is applesauce (I love applesauce). She also told me about all the risks involved; however, with the way this appointment was going, not even that deterred me. She left no stone unturned. > > She was concerned about who would be home with me for at least the first 48 hours and I told her that my hubby was taking off so she was happy with that. She asked me if I could do the surgery earlier and I told her " yes...anytime before the 24th " . She said, " How about the 23rd? " I said, " Okay, maybe not anytime. " I'm boarding the cruise ship to the Bahamas on the 24th...no way could I do the 23rd...so we left it on the 30th. LOL > > I told hubby that he may not have to take off because the surgery is on Thursday, I go home Friday, then there's the weekend and that's all I needed. I told him he could go back to work on Monday. His response? " No, I'm taking of to be there with you. " :-) Keep in mind that my husband's a workaholic (like myself) and hates to take off work. He's already scheduled two weeks off. Love that man! > > Afterwards, I dropped by my ortho's office (I usually go by unannounced when I'm in town) and they were all excited about one of their patients who had just had the surgery two weeks ago and how good he looked. His recovery was going extremely well, he had very little bruising and my ortho had to call the OS to brag about what an amazing job the OS had done...the OS just happens to be the same one I have! This, of course, made me feel even better. They are so excited about my upcoming surgery that they made me even more excited about it. > > Sorry this is so long...I just wanted...needed to share my excitement with people who really understand what's going on. > > Smooches > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 > Yes, my OS did tell me about the steroids and I passed that info on to my hubby so he can expect the best, but be prepared for the worst. :-) My surgeon, I believe, is from the " tell the patient as little as possible " school. I asked about meds, and he didn't mention steriods. When I asked specifically, he said yes. Then I asked how long ... one day. But still no mention of side effects.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Hey! You're not Clear Day any more! Did you figure out what was happening, or did Hurricane Isabel just chase it away? Best borrowing and returning story I've ever heard came from one dear to me. It was a book. A much-beloved, expensive book. Loaned, but unreturned for 15 forevers. Finally, a call to ask for it back. The borrower drove up whilst the owner of the book was working in the yard. Spun down the window on her Cadillac and thrust the (damaged) book back in the owner's direction, commenting (o so graciously): " Well, it wasn't a very good book, anyhow. " Now don't that beat all??? Much respected community leader is the borrower... Sometimes there's just no accounting for behaviour. I am no longer in the lending business. Giving, when I feel up to it. But no more lending, alas. Cammie > > Thanx, Cammie. You're a doll. It's the thought that counts.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Eileen, I think these folks just know it so well that sometimes they don't remember what they have and haven't told us. My sweet and most excellent surgeon spent two or three hours with me at the first consult, while I was making up my mind about the surgery. I'd sent him my looooong list of questions, and he answered most in his presentation to me, then started again when I asked him the one or two he hadn't covered. He knew I was hanging out here, and that I was pretty well informed, I think. He did tell me he was gonna use steroids -- matter of fact, he told me I'd get a last-minute booster shot I never got, just before I left the hospital -- I suspect that I wasn't swollen enough to warrant it. (I was lucky in many, many ways.) Anyhow, the morning I was to leave the hospital, he made his visit, and said, " Oh, Cammie. There's one more thing. About the steroids... " I interrupted him: " Are you gonna tell me about the zits or the depression? I know about both, and I'm ready to handle them. " " The depression, " he said. I did get a bit of that. Never got the zits. And yes, I was able to handle what I got, with the sweet help of the folks on this site. Cammie > > > Yes, my OS did tell me about the steroids and I passed that info on > to my hubby so he can expect the best, but be prepared for the worst. :-) > > My surgeon, I believe, is from the " tell the patient as little as > possible " school.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 The majority of my time before surgery was spent singing. Of course, I can't sing right now, but I can hum and it doesn't sound any different yet, but time will only tell. I tried singing just now (just to check) and the sound " seems " the same, but since I can't really open wide enough yet and with this blasted splint in my mouth, I won't be doing any solos anytime soon. :-) Smooches (unknown) OH yeah...and for those who sang alot, were you adversly affected by the surgery, i.e. quality was reduced.
