H-pylori-who has had it?
RNYDawn replied to innwtitdtity's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats @@queencity! That's awesome! @@vanassa11 I know, it feels weird knowing I have this bad bacteria in my body! The nurse from my surgeon's office called me today and said she'd let him know that I tested positive so he knows before my endoscopy on Thursday. She said that they don't treat it based on a positive blood test but will do the biopsy (from the endoscopy) and treat based on that. So we'll see... Thanks again everyone! -

I'm glad it's getting better for you! And that sounds like a great plan with the pureeing and freezing! *mental note* -
H-pylori-who has had it?
RNYDawn replied to innwtitdtity's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Vanassa! Thank you for telling me. How were the meds? Were they rough on your stomach or appetite? did you have to restrict certain foods or change any dietary habits? I have my endoscopy scheduled for Thursday so I hope I can talk to my surgeon about it then. -

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but had never heard of this until my blood work came back with positive for this! I think this is a big reason my surgeon's office recommended I have the blood work done as soon as I could! Now we can take care of it (hopefully!) before I even have to submit for approval in January. -

I'm going bald! Please help
RNYDawn replied to melissabeauty's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I use Toppik for PCOS-related hair thinning and it covers really well. I'm upping my vitamins and Biotin now to prepare for surgery in Feb/March - and hoping Toppik will still suffice when the hair loss happens! -

That is good to know! I was going to start stocking up on them but they expire pretty quickly so I'm going to have to wait. -

3 months post-op. Just ate two slices of pizza.
RNYDawn replied to gbveteran4d's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
ahhhhh! This got me teary! "I told very few people I was having gastric bypass because I felt that way myself. I honestly thought, it will work for everyone else, but not me. It will just be another one of my diet failures. After all, that's what's always happened to me in the past. " - I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has had these thoughts. But I am determined to make it work. @gbveteran4d - you can do it! Please believe in yourself and know you have the power to do it! -

I wish I could give you a high five. This is the kind of stuff us newbies need to read. I haven't even had surgery yet but am so thankful to read the tough love and honesty that you provide. Thank you @toasty. -
All of a sudden...everyone is *#%* expert!
RNYDawn replied to ImBringingLisaBack RNY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have told my husband and MIL and a handful of close friends who are also either trying to lose weight or have lost weight. Everyone has been really supportive so far. I have to tell my own parents at some point since I'm going to ask my mom to come stay with us for the week following surgery. I am not telling my boxing coach because he's kind of a jerk about weight loss and diet and anything medical. He thinks he knows it all so I just don't talk about it with him.
