Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Hello My name is cori. I am about 2 weeks PRE-OP... A bit scared.. I was wondering if anyone can tell me about how long it will take to return to work.. I am a Paramedic /Firefighter so I do alot of lifting and pulling... I am on vacation till Dec 20 will this be enough time to recoup? I am having the Open RNY..... Another question is can someone give me an idea of what a normal days menu would be after the procedure???How long before going back to normal food? Also does anyone know how gatorade will affect the new stomach? In my field we are given gatorade at every fire and expected to drink it to replenish some electrolytes.... I have been told that i should have dr make my pouch a bit bigger since i dont eat at any regular cycle... And because I burn so many more calories in my field... ( I think thats kinda dumb cause if i was burning so many more calories I wouldnt be needing this procedure)... What is pouch size after procedure if anyone knows...... MY Dr has been kinda hard to get with cause of vacation to ask these questions.... Last question How many people had self controlled pain meds via IV pump after procedure????? And what was length of stay in hospital..... Thanks and sorry for all the questions...................Cori PRE-OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
