Hello all

[Guest guest]

Hello Ralph and welcome to the group. My husband was in the AF during the

gulf war but was stationed in Korea at the time. Sorry to hear that this is

where you got it from. You'd think you'd be safe in the military

Did you get out on medical disability?

I know what you mean about not remembering a day without pain. I was

diagnosed last month and have had pain since January and it won't quit.

I've had CFS for years also.

That poem that you sent just hits it right on the head doesn't it? Pretty

sad. I'm sending it to my husband's email.

Welcome again and know that you are in a very supportive group here.

Everyone is just wonderful!!

Welcome, Ralph to our group. I think that this is a very good group. We are

loving, caring and very supportive. If you have any questions, just bring

them on out. I am sure that someone on this list will have an answer. As

for venting, feel free to do that too. We all have and will, more than

likely, do so again.

Take care,

Irene

For crying out loud, I don't play my music that loud! I have the

headaches from my fibro. Isn't that what this group is about?

I can't believe this is the only answer my post got. I've been

looking for friends since we got this computer 2 yrs ago and I just

don't see what I'm doing wrong. Someone, anyone, let me know what

horrible mistake I'm making.

, It 's not you it us, we all feel like crap, and we don't have any

answers either. And don't be so hard on Irene she is in a lot of heavy pain

right now, I don't answer a lot of emails because I don't know what to tell

people, we all have this pain and we are just trying to get thru one more day.

Right now I am having some problems and I am trying to take one day at a time.

, you aren't making any " mistakes " , it's just that we all go

through good times and bad around here. I've been struggling for almost

two weeks now with other health problems. Irene has tinnitus very badly

and she just doesn't want others to suffer like she does. It's hard to

sometimes read the body language that isn't in emails, but is in real

life. People say things that to them seem like they are reaching out,

but it may not seem like that to the receiver, especially if they're

having a bad day, or the sender phrased things in a different manner.

We do try to make people feel welcomed around here, it's just sometimes

it comes out better than others.

-- Hello All

Hi,

This is my introductory post. My name is Adam. My wife's Name is e

A little background on the both of us. We had Gastric Bypass Surgery on

April 7th 2003. We are 9 1/2 months into our surgery. I was weighing 394 pre

surgery. To date I am at 280...I am at a plateau. e was at 380...she

is now at 255. We have been married 2 years and one day...Our 2 year

Anniversery was yesterday! we have been activly trying to conceive since we

got married with no luck. e never had a period in her life, EVER! she

is 23. So we figured she didn't ovulate. we saw a specialist in September. I

know we were suppose to wait at least 12 months after surgery to get

pregnant but we figured it would take awhile anyway because we did not know

if their was anything wrong with her. The first round was Clomid 50mg. for 5

days. We took ultrasounds and everything. She ovulated beautifuly. No Baby.

Next cycle we upped it to 100 mg. 5 days w/ ultrasound...no good. The third

month we tried 100mg. for 8 days because she was responding so well..

nothing....all this time I was telling her and the doctor to put her on

progesterone because I put 2 and 2 together. Hello No period EVERRRR no

progesterone....simple right....well the 4th month wich was last month we

switched to the shots, Follistim...she didn't respond as well to that as the

clomid but it was an " O " and I insisted she be on Progesterone...the doctor

put her on prometrium Vaginally the day we did IUI. we got the call on the

22nd of december, which was the day befor her birthday...we were pregnant..

Man I so could be a doctor!!! so now we are 9 1/2 months post op. and 7

weeks and 5 days pregnant...We did an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and we saw the

baby...that is a good thing...most of the time you cannot see it that early

and we also saw the heartbeat...they said a very good heartbeat at that

stage is 100hpm....our little one had a heartbeat of 122hpm!!!!!!!! My Boy

is STRONG!!! I say it's a boy because that is what we want...but we don't

care...so any input anyone can give us about getting pregnant this early we

would love to take...since the pregnancy she has lost at 10 lbs...thanks for

the ears everyone...

Well, first a ? for you.

Are the calcium chews she is taking calcium CITRATE or calcium

CARBONATE? This is important because if they are carbonate, she is

most likely not absorbing them. Because bypass patients lack the

necessary stomach acid to break down carbonate, we can't absorb that

type of calcium well. IF she is definitely taking cacium citrite, I

wanna know the name of the chews!!! LOL. I'd love to get chews since

the pills I'm taking now are MASSIVE!!!

At 4 weeks along my OBGyn put me on an extra 1mg folic acid (for

healthy spinal cord development), 2 prenatals, 1600 mg of calcium

citrate, and iron citrate (acids make it more easily absorbed).

I am currently 13 months post RNY and 12 weeks pregnant and so far my

levels have been awesome. If your wife is anemic she may want to

speak with her doc about the prescription Trinsicon (generic

Foltrin). I was severely anemic early post op and this combo vitamin

of iron, vitamin c, intrinsic factor was a life saver.

Good luck and many blessings!!!

Its carbonate not citrate...the fertility specialist stated that they normally

put anemic patients on a med called " slow fe " but they didn't know because of

her having the surgery...we will call our surgeon tomorrow.

Slow FE is not a good choice. Slow FE works great for regular people because

it is an extended release product. The problem with bypass patients is that

we don't have a " long time " in the pipe for it to be extendedly absorbed. As

far as iron, you do not want enteric coated because our systems have not time

to eat the coating off and absorb before it has passed. Also, ferrous sulfate

is not a good choice for bypass patients. I have read that ferrous fumerate

or one other type (slips my mind right this second) are the two best iron

selections for people with malabsorption and also are less difficult on the

digestive tract.

P.S. This goes for ANY antibiotics or any type of drugs you take daily. If

it ends in XR, ask for something else. Unfortunately, we usually end up

having to educate our physicians on how our body works so it's very important

that

we know these things ourselves.

Take care and congrats,

Hey, Toi.

I take calcium citrate chewable. Unfortunately they're not the " good chews "

like Viactive, etc. But, I take Twin Labs Calcium Carbonate chewables. I

can't stand the horse pills. They are like EXCEPTIONALLY TART Sweet Tarts just

about 3 times the size. I know you can order them off the internet, but one of

the health food stores near me carries them.

FYI:

I take calcium citrate capsules that I ordered from Vitalady.com. They are

awesome. I have never had any problems swallowing or digesting them.

They're about 15 bucks and you get 240 in a large bottle.

Hope that helps!

What a bummer to have gone through so much and not

know whether or not you are to ba approved. ly, I

would be ticked, (and not just a little!), if, after

having gone through all the hoops, they denied the

request.

The process in CA, or at least for me was that after

your PCP writes a referral or request for Bariatric

surgery, the Obesity Committee reviews the request,

and considering your BMI/co-morbidities, either

approves the surgery or denies. If approved, it is

then that you typically would start the process of

losing the 10%, and would begin to go to the meetings,

although it certainly would not be a bad thing if you

were to begin the process of losing the 10% before the

approval, as it is my belief that the Committee takes

the weight that was written in your referral from the

PCP as your beginning weight, (or at least that was

what I was told by an Obesity Committee member when I

worked with him at Kaiser Regional). And if you wanted

to come to the meetings, go for it!

It is required, however, that you see a nutritionist

and get a Psych eval before the Committee will approve

or deny, (or at least that was the process three years

ago when I began this journey).

I don't blame you in the least for being anxious!! I

would be too. And frankly, knowing my personality, I

would want to hear directly from the staff of the

Obesity Committee as to when the verdict would be in;

so yes, I would call. (But that's just me; I tend to

be a little impatient.)

Good Luck and God bless.

It is required, however, that you see a nutritionist

and get a Psych eval before the Committee will approve

or deny, (or at least that was the process three years

ago when I began this journey).

I don't blame you in the least for being anxious!! I

would be too. And frankly, knowing my personality, I

would want to hear directly from the staff of the

Obesity Committee as to when the verdict would be in;

so yes, I would call. (But that's just me; I tend to

be a little impatient.)

Good Luck and God bless.
