They're just treating it before surgery. I didn't have it but my doc told me it would not prevent surgery. I has the nose swab come back positive for bacteria. I had to use a salve for 10 days before surgery. You'll be fine.

I've got 5 more pounds to go before joining you. So excited!

My surgeon gave me simple facts to help with my decision. Research shows higher long-term weight loss success with rny than other procedures. However, according to this site, the sleeve seems to have good results too. I chose rny because of this and despite the adjustment, I'm very happy with it. Attend a support group session and that will be helpful to you as well.

Not everyone. My doctor advised me to take biotin a few months before surgery. For those who experienced loss it will grow back once your nutrients are back on par.

I was tempted to eat a few bites of roasted chicken at that stage and was sick for 24 hours. You may be fine.

Being prescribed meds for hypertension. That did it for me!

I loved cake before surgery. Tasted a slice a few weeks ago and was sick the remainder of the day. I miss it, but happily give it up.

Try B12 supplements.

I had my RNY on June 24th. Have lost a total of 26lbs since pre op date. So excited!!!

Best wishes to you both! Keep me posted.

great! Where will you have your surgery done?

I had the worst time losing weight during my 3 month weight management program which was at the same time as my final grad school semester. I gained 4lbs the second month and ended with a net loss of only 1lb by end of the program. Aetna approved me as my doctor said a loss is a loss.

I slipped a couple times during my pre-op diet. But I was a saint for the 7-8 days that preceded surgery. Didn't want the surgeon finding any food in my digestive system. It's hardest the first week, afterwards you will see it's not as bad.

I'm from the Chicago Northshore suburbs. I had my bypass done on 6/24. How are you?

I'm almost 4 weeks post-op and found that the foods I used to love have little appeal anymore. When I see someone eating something, I have no desire to eat it. When I have tasted a couple things, the satisfaction to eat it was gone. I kinda like this for now. I will probably never enjoy eating the way I used to and maybe that's a good thing. Eat to live vs Live to Eat.

I hear ya. I'm 5'4" and weighed 244. You're already beautiful inside and out. This is a temporary delay. In a few short months you'll be in a completely different happy space and looking even more fabulous!

Its not over. You will come through this with an approval.

Hey, just checking on you. I'm still sending good thoughts your way for a speedy approval! Thanks for checking up ! It's funny how people so close to you forgets about your feelings and doesn't ever check up. This website has encourage me a whole lot really glad you're here to go through the process with me! How are you feeling? Are you still feeling nauseated? Please excuse the grammar talk I'm talk texting.Yes, this site is full of caring people. I was worried when I didn't see any updates from you. One more day and you'll be on your way! I'm feeling ok. My doctor put me on liquids for a few days to see it it settles. So far it's going well. Having some tests later in the week to make sure everything is ok. Thanks so much for asking.

I'm three weeks post op and my stomach is nauseous and hurts whenever I eat or drink something, including water. Has anyone experienced this? Just sent message to my doc but they probably won't see before Monday. Help!

Wow! Thank you so much. The on call doc told me to go back to liquid diet and see my doc on Monday because for now I am not vomiting. It just feels weird that every time something hits my stomach it hurts like my pouch is irritated. Thank you so much for your suggestions. Doc says for me to stay hydrated for now. That's a tall order because it hurts. Ugh!

alittle.

Thank you.

I felt the same way. It feels like your life is in the balance. Sometimes they respond quickly, sometimes it takes 2-3 weeks. Try to relax and trust it's going to be fine.

I went for the first time today at 3 weeks post-op. It felt wonderful to do the work this process requires.
