Joe.s

I have gout as well i had RNY on 8-3-12 it probably is a little worse now but not alot. It is the only med that i remain on now other then vitamins. And i was on several before the surgery for everything from diabetes,high b.p,cholesterol,depression,to gout . I was off all med but had to start the gout med back up because of the flare ups

I too did physical therapy.. Didn't really help though

I've had shoulder pain for several months now. Its in both shoulders no popping just aches seems worse when laying down. Found out i have a torn ligament in my left should but no answers for the right one. Not much help but at least you know your not alone..

I had rny on Aug 3rd went back in the next day because of a leak. Came out with a huge open wound id post the pic but its not real pretty. From there i ended up with Fluid around my lungs. 4 chest tubes a g-tube a j-tube and abcess and a collapsed lung.i was in the hospital almost a month the first time 2 weeks the second time. Came home on feed tube got rid of it on Dec 10 and things have really gotten better i have muscle aches in my arms and shoulder still and short of breath at times. Assume its from the lung. But now that the bad stuff is over im glad i did it. I take no prescription med anymore i use to be on 8-9 no high blood pressure and most of all no diabetes that was my goal when i started this. Rny 8-3-12 sw 289lbs now 215

Had the pics backwards lol

No new activities and its been a month and a half or so and i seems.to be getting slowly worse

The Dr told me mine was at 3.7 normal is 3.5 to 5.0 so Im right there... Can i buy potassium over the counter to see if it helps

Waiting for the results now Im going to call tomorrow and ill make sure i ask about potassium. Thanks so much its been driving me crazy.

Question my arms ache so bad especially in the a.m after sleeping i have to take pain't med to control it and it barely helps just makes the pain managable. Its the muscle its both arms and my surgeon doesn't really tell me anything. My pc said it may be because i had so much trouble with my surgery that i was immobile for a couple month. So he set up some physical therapy that doesn't even start till the end of the month. Has anyone else had this problem? Im five months out and have lost around 80pounds

I did, my surge date was 8-3-12 and my sense of smell seemed like it got so much stronger and nothing taste as it did before. Thankfully most things are back to normal now as far as taste and smells go. I couldn't tell you about the feeling like crap because i had lots of issues after surgery so i felt like crap most of the time lol it all gets better. I remember after surgery i could taste the protein in all the protein drinks they were so gross but now everything taste normal thank god. Good luck on your journey

Good deal.. Thanks ladies

Wishing everyone good luck. 8/3/12 -80 lbs
