I am on dialysis, and I have to take a pill to counter act the calcium and vitamind for my parathyroid, maybe you can do this?

Hello mommybo, I live in Strasburg just 20 minutes from you! To all the Columbus people I am there all the time for sleeve preop and Pretransplant testing. I used to always go to Graeters and Al's popcorn now I am trying to wean myself

My Dr. wants to pursue the gastric band plication for me because of my health risk of being on peritoneal dialysis and not wanting to cut my stomach. Has anyone had this, heard of this, anything???

HI My name is Rebecca MItchell I am a 35 year old mother of 4 kids (2mine, 2his) and 1 GORGEOUS grandson. I am currently on perritoneal dialysis, I am looking for other dialysis patients/bariatric patients to talk to. My nephrologist is afraid for me to have the surgery because of leaks, but the kidney transplant centers will not touch me because my BMI is over 40. I need to lose at least 40 pounds to safely have a kidney transplantt, which I have lost 6 pounds on my own by drinking 2 protein shakes and eating 1 healthy meal a day, but I dont forsee me continuing to lose weight on my own because on perritoneal dialysis I am getting around 1300 calories a night from my solution. I am no longer able to be on hemodialysis because after 6 1/2 years of it I have lost all places to put a site (arms, and groins). I love doing perritoneal dialysis, I feel so much better than when I was on hemo, but I hate that I have gained so much weight, I was about 210 when I started it.If you or anyone you know was on pertioneal dialysis and had bariatric surgery ( I want vertical sleeve) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contact me!!!!

I don't know if this is a true story or not, but I do know that my Dr. has warned me of some of these issues I do believe that although some of these risks may happen I believe most of the Sisters issues were malpractice.
