Mine kept me on 40mg Prilosec. It's a PPI.

And yes, what Greensleeves said, my husband got sleeved same day I did and he can't do nsaids either.

No pain meds help me, even script except demerol and he won't script it. Pretty much just suffered after surgery. I called my Dr many names. The nurses agreed with me. Your question is something to consider seriously. I'm post op now and could really use an ibuprofen. This worries me for the rest of my life, not being able to take the one thing non script that does work.

My rny was the 18th. Not just constipation but STUCK. Sorry. Tmi. I just bought some Ready Fiber today and drank miralax last night. I bought a laxative suppositiry and an enema if none of this works. I hope it works. Gross on the latter two. Lol I feel your pain.

My nut said baby food isn't very nutritious but I say hey, whatever works, right?

I'm losing about a pound per day but only 9 days out.

Prayers fur you Pik

I would be curious to hear what other drs say. My Dr would probably know but I will always question even his answers.

I think I made a mistake doing this procedure. Tylenol doesn't work in me and neither does most of the script pain meds and the one that does work drs won't script. I'm screwed for the rest of my life now. I should have thought this over better before.

Well, we just found out the morons at his office made all of our other appts except the two week post op. I haven't been happy and should have trusted my gut at orientation but hubby felt comfortable with him. I will call tomorrow and get an appt for late next week or early the week after. I'm starting to ask myself why the hell I did this to myself.

Exactly. I have a friend who has a bypass and I believe she got ulcers on her former stomach and almost died. I certainly don't want that happening!

Are we ever able to use anti inflammatories? What do we use if we have a strained/torn/pulled muscle/ligament?

my husband and I are 8 days post op. Our Dr's orders are 60g of Protein (2 Premiere drinks) and at least 32 oz of Water (sf flavored ok), sf Jello (haven't had any yet) and sf popsicles. broth is ok and counts as a "water" as there's not much protein. I tried Swanson's chicken broth yesterday and it was discusting. Smells like barf. I think I will make the kids my own chicken and dumplings and drink the broth from that. yum! My husband is having an aversion of the Premieres or Adkins (texture) so I have to figure out what to do about that. I think we'll try nectar protein powders with water.

mine was listed as that on our insurance. Just make sure they record liquid input (excluding IV) and output. Mine didn't. We thought that was odd. Would have been nice to get a little more guidance on that before we went home. Good luck!

I've wondered too but I probably just wouldn't eat the frosting, just the cake. And I'd try taking a bite of cake at home before trying it elsewhere just in case.

Hi vets :-) I had GERD and was taking script prilosec every day for many years. I'm still on it since my rny a week ago but have been thinking...... the prilosec won't get to my old stomach anymore but it is still producing stomach acid so is it inevitable that I'll get an ulcer someday? Or does the prilosec go systemic and still help with that?

Trust your gut with the dr. If in doubt go to someone else.

Thank you all for your help and input. I appreciate it :-) he took off his antinausea patch. Hopefully he'll be better tomorrow. We've even tried essential oils for nausea. That didn't help.

Not on pain meds anymore. Could the antinausea meds be making him nauseous?? He's tried two bites of sf apple sauce, I had to chew him out for taking pre op size bite fulls. Ugh. We're not even supposed to be eating or drinking anything other than protein drinks, water (sf flavored ok), sf jello, sf popsicles for two weeks according to our drs procedures.

He's already on two of them.

My husband got sleeved 6 days ago. He's been nauseous since coming home, even with an antinausea ear patch and ondensentron. He's told the NURSE this and she says as long as he's not vomiting it's ok. He's drinking mostly Water as the Protein drink makes the nausea worst. I'm recovering too from rny same day but our recoveries are much different. I am stubborn and don't let surgeries get me down. I HAVE to get better fast as we have kids. This is his second though and last one was in 94. I am really frustrated with him not forcing himself to get up and deal through the nausea. Frustrated that he didn't do extensive research and learning beforehand like I did. Frustrated that he tells me to shut up when I try to help. I'm worried he will need to be readmitted. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is all this nausea normal for some?

That's what we kind of expected too but nothing. They did monitor our output but all that was from iv fluid.

When you had surgery did the nurses monitor your liquid drinking while you were there? Ie how much they gave you, how much you drank and how long it took you to drink it? Just curious. That never happened for my husband and I. We went in thinking it would be something that would be important for the nurses to monitor.

I know I can't be the ONLY person that most pain meds don't work on, right???? The only pain med that works on me is demerol. Morphine doesn't work, diludad doesn't work, acetometophen doesn't work, tramadol doesn't work, neither does fentanyl, can't take hydrocodone, ibuprofen works but can't take it anymore. My bariatric surgeon refused to script me the demerol making one lame excuse after another. (I only wanted it while in the hospital. After, in pill form, would be nice too but I usually just suffer through the pain). It was neglect on his part and the nurses agree. Took them 9 hrs after surgery to get a hold of him to try another pain med that of course also didn't work. Poor nurses felt so helpless as I was crying in pain and calling my dr all sort of not so nice names. They were awesome. I'm thankful for that. Otherwise I felt like just a number and a paycheck to my dr. After I chewed him out the next morning he left my room w/o even telling me how my surgery went, if my hiatal hernia was fixed, nothing. Not even the day of discharge did he go over anything with me except when I asked him if the huge dimple of an incision was going to go away (yes, and it is). I forgot to ask about the hernia but was left a bit surprised he didn't talk about my surgery. I walked into my husband's room while he was finishing in there talking to him. And I was pleasant with him even. Not even any acknowledgement that I was up and walking and seemed to be doing well. So now I'm getting calls from the hospital and our insurance co. for follow up and survey on how my care was and I tell them all this. I feel badly for giving him a negative review, because he is one of the top bariatric surgeons in Texas, but that's the way I feel. I will go to the follow up appt with him next week and see how he treats me, otherwise I hope I'll be able to change bariatric drs.

Has anyone changed their bariatric surgeon soon after their surgery?
