I want to also add that I’m 9 years out and while I am not an alcoholic (I can be around alcohol without the urge to drink), it scared me how quickly alcohol hit after surgery and how often one glass hit like 3 used to. I quit pretty much all alcohol about 1.5 years ago now and am loving the growing mocktail and Non-Alcoholic Beer scene. If you feel out of control, it is not your fault and you can get help.

I’m at almost a decade post op and moved away years ago from where I had RNY surgery. Over the past six months I e had repeated abdominal pain that my Dr keeps trying me on Pepcid for and is referring me to a gastroenterologist. I’d like to find one with experience/interest working w post- bariatric patients but most bariatric specialists are surgeons. Anyone else dealt with this? Particularly in the Phoenix area? Ty!

I’m about 9 years out from RNY and I’ve also had a lot of issues with meds. I’ve found (1) I absolutely cannot do anything that’s an extended release med and (2) I have to be constantly on my doctors as an advocate for myself about things like this. No matter how many times I tell them, they forget about my specific med needs when prescribing things or I have to remind them that in medical care situations they might need to think outside the box because of my digestive system’s format. Currently dealing with this right now Re: a medical issue so I sympathize.
