Suzie q. I thought I had I bad. It gets frustrating but you have to work through it don't give up hope

I changed hospitals and went to Columbia Presbyterian in NYC. Dr put in stent The plan was to remove it after 5 weeks. After week two it migrated and traveled to intestines. It was approx 10 inches. I was admitted with excruciating pain. First surgery they tried to retrieve it. That. Failed. Two days later with help of two surgeons they retrieved it but intentions were perforated. Two days later they did surgery again to assess damage I went home the next day. Several days later I was admitted with abscess. Infection. Was cut open without anesthesia to clean out wound That was a horrible month but stricture fixed next month was April. Excruciating pains. Small intestion total blockage another week in hospital. Just when I thought it was over. Ended up again in hospital in June for small intestion resection. Now July for the first time in eight months I feel great. I hope it lasts

@weezzee. All symptoms of huge hiatal hernia disappeared after my rny bypass. That was the way to go for me. Good luck

@lisylooby. I've had band to bypass two seperate surgeries. Two years of herendous complications forced removal of band. All was going well with bypass till week six when I started throwing up everything including water Ended up in hospital with stricture. Now three months later I've had five dialations I'm holding on till last minute as it's closing again next step is stent. If that doesn't work. Revision Hang in there There is a fix good luck

I've had an rny. Six weeks later ended up. In ER. Now three months later I've had five balloon endoscopies. Not out of woods yet. Closing up again

@Kaylamh. I would wait till 6 weeks. Generally all fish is soft Common sense rules

I have the rny bypass to eliminate reflux and gerd

Advise them of the error and let it go. There was no intent nor harm to anyone. They must be more careful

Just go with the flow. In a hospital , time is an estimate. Good luck

Exactly

@sill21. The surgery was our choice as well as our restricted eating ability. We don't expect to change others eating behavior because we are there So please keep your eye on the prize.

@Mei. See you on the other side. Speedy recovery

Great advice. Ty

@Caligirl88. Congratulations. Keep up the good work

Tuna and salmon come in 3 1/2 oz packages made many diff ways checkout at super market

@Kimberlee1383837812. Could just be water gain Means nothing

@katanne. Just a tip. You can still drink premier protein shakes (30gr protein) for two weeks as a dry run and the weight loss will be significant Good luck

Alex Brecher wrote a gastric bypass book which is very helpful. It can be purchased on amazon

Ive had rny in sept 2016. band came out after 8 yrs in February I developed stricture at the point the new stomach meets intestines. This caused severe dehydration and needed Balloon endoscopy 3 sep times along with two hospitalizations. I'm told this only happens in 5% of people. it's still not fixed. I'm not yet sure of the next step however I know another dialation is in my future. I'm still researching it Most other people on this forum have not had complications such as mine. Its a risk of any intestinal surgery. Best of luck

Just follow the diet and maintain fluids and protein. The weight loss will resume

Just tried it last night. Cooked a thin sliced chicken cutlet with a spray of Pam. It came out cooked and soft. . I had a RNY in sept

@WLSResources/ClothingExch. So true

All the thin people think all we have to do is eat less. Unfortunately losing weight is not that easy. As an adult you have to make the best decision you can with the information you have. For me it was the adjustable gastric lapband and eight years later the RNY. Still down 120 pounds

@leslieAnn710. Egg drop soup small amount. Wanton soup without kreplock is a better choice. My Chinese place made me special hot and sour soup clear with just a little egg. Tasted great

The stricture or stenosis is where the stomach attaches to the intentions. I was told it was more common after band to bypass revisions. The dr office also told me it was normal and to keep drinking liquids. I did this until I almost fainted. If in doubt do not wait. My stricture was almost closed and did not show up on cat scan good luck
