  1. You have no idea how tough this is until you have the surgery and your coping mechanism is gone overnight. There is a high incidence of substance abuse , acting out sexually and many other things Until it is gone you have no idea how much tome you spend planning, cooking and eating. Another hard part is nor being included in family meals etc. People ate uncomfortable that you eat nothing basically, and ate getting thin= sick looking and unhealthy for at least awhile. If you don't have a hobby or big time consumer you could be in big trouble. Heafs up!"
  2. Newsflash, you cannot sue them, they are covered, it is an elective surgery. All apologies this is a LOT MORE than a bump in the road. Thoughts and good vibes to you dear, godspeed!
  3. I second this surgery was 2005 and I am still severely anemic plus the two mentioned and several more I currently take ferrous sulfate and pre natal plus Vitamins etc., problem is it is not near enough, mal absorptive issues plague bariatric patients . Give me back my strong body and diabetes, that I could deal with easily, this....NO!
  4. I understand everyone is trying to help, but pro biotics can do nothing for c- diff, try Googling it!! It is VERY SERIOUS and can lead to mega Colin!! We are talking apples and oranges here, it's a whole different animal. Dear you have my best thoughts and I am so sorry you ate enduring this, cdiff makes diahrrea look like fun Please keep on top of things,may I suggest word puzzles for the time spent on toilet. Don't be afraid to use those febreeze coupons!! I agree nothing is TMI you will be in my thoughts and sending good vibes and angels!!
  5. I had the same problems, went down to 92 lbs. Almost died, finally found a surgeon willing to try and see the problem, found a titanium ring too small for even water to get through!! Never saw anything like it, my surgeon was THE BEST around with a stellar reputation, so this means nothing. Be forewarned this WILL change your life , and your teeth. Now disabled with many med problems from surgery, and dentures!! My teeth were beautiful!!. Not to scare anyone, but this was the gold standard surgery in 2005 with the best surgeon around
  6. Had nightmare effects from Gastric Bypass in Phx. Dr. Alan Newhoff/ Dr Simon. I live in Prescott
