I have regained a ton of weight back after Covid. I would like to find a great doctor, Nutrionist to help me evaluate my diet and get back on track. It would be nice if they did hormone evaluation too, but not required. Any referrals in Dallas, Richardaon, Plano, Frisco, Allen, or DFW metroplex is appreciated!!!! I want an accountability physician or Nutrionist or dietician. I want to hear your stories. Thanks everyone! Melanie Kirk

Has anyone used this? Do they work?

Maybe stricture- I have been having an incredibly difficult time. RNY surgery date was 9-28. It was a breeze at first. I got 60 oz water in right away. Then 80-100 oz of water daily. Then at about three weeks I had extreme me nausea. Then diarrhea and dry heaves. Then dehydrated. Then a fecal impaction. I am on Zofran which helps. Having an EGD tomorrow. They think I have a stricture. Anyone else have this? It does get better right?

You might have a hernia

This is so hard. I have to tell you sometimes when you are fat you don't know how fat you are. Denial, I had it!

So I am in a stall. I cannot get my life in order due to nausea. Makes me afraid to eat. I am trying to determine clothes sizes and my measurements are aweful. If my stomach would go down it would help but it will not cooperate. I just cannot get balance to my life.

Oh no they did EGD. He thinks I either have an duodenal ulcer or it is too much ketones. I think Carafate is working!

Yes. He gave me Carafate.

Yep. I am thinking she feels threatened. Like you don't love her for her.

Mark I will order some right away!

You might have had a stricture for a long time now and it just keeps getting worse!

How many did you have to have?

Thanks. Did you have one/many? Are you better?

I love them!! I often suck out the soft part! I love Best Made Pickles! Also to get my fix I eat a hamburger slice.

What is a mini gastric bypass?

I am in the same position!

When you get your blood work back let us know how they did!

Alex, I heard you are doing a study on them. Is that true? Any results?

Someone in a Bariatric group on Facebook died last week. It is aweful. They think it was food poisoning but she didn't take vitamins regularly.

My question is important. The reason is this. I was walking 2-3 hours a day post surgery. I was doing awesome. Then I cratered. The doctor said that the reason is they fill you full of fluids so you feel great. Then it wears off and you must stay hydrated which is very difficult. So about 2 to 3 weeks in you can feel miserable, which is confusing if you don't know why.

Question: when was your surgery date?

I did 4 weeks. I still have a lot of trouble with exhaustion. I was RNY
