Anyone Having Or Had Surgery In New Orleans?
Tinka504 replied to shanbutler's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! Im in Metairie and was reading along. I hope everything is working out for ya'll. I went to Ochsner in Metairie for mine, it was awesome. We have a support group at Ochsner, but I was hoping for something outside of the medical office . Would any of you be interesting in meeting up a couple times a month or something along those lines? -
I know you posted this a while back... but im interested (waving hand). Any groups or anything local? Oh and Hi!

After Surgery... Easy To Bruise?
Tinka504 replied to Tinka504's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im not on any blood thinners. Just my regular vitamins. I just wondered if it was me... or what? Cause If I tap the doorframe with my arm I will have a knot and a large bruise. I moved this weekend and am now covered with them. I swear I've had two people ask me if I needed to speak with a police officer. I guess they think I am being beaten at home...lol -
What Kind Of Calcium/vitamins Do You Take?
Tinka504 replied to mandamomma2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take Solotron from the GNC its a multi vitamin, and I take Calcium citrate chewable that I got online, its a nice citrus flavor, a sublingual b-12 (disolves under the tounge) and Previcid (meltaway). Dr told me that I would be on Previcid for the next year, to keep from developing ulcers. -
Follow what the doctor says, just take one at a time, and chew, chew, chew. It might feel a little weird when it hits your stomach, but you will get through it.

My doctor told me to give it two to three days and see how they sit. Day four was better then day three.

I started right off using the Wheybolic 60 from GNC, I used it with light vanilla Soy milk, which my Nutritionist advised was great! I never had any problems, it was easily digested and no heartburn and ...it tasted great. I use the vanilla with a drop of two of coconut extract and its fabulous. annnnnd to date I've lost about 60 or so pounds, sooo something mustbe working

I was just wondering if anyone had soreness in their legs, it almost feels like my skin hurts. Not from walking/working out. Just feels kind of weird. I had my surgery May 10, and I'm just concerned. Any suggestions? Thanks
