Bypass
I had the bypass on 11/14/16. The only problem I have is constipation but stool softener and miralax take care of it without problems. Stuck to your drs plan and you will be fine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got cleared to travel to NC to see my kids for Christmas! Starting weight was 341 on surgery day I am currently 318!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How can you find out if you're approved
I have the same insurance. I had RNY 11/14/16. It took about 7 days for my answer. I also called to see if there was an answer until my nurse advocate called and told me I was approved. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

PCP visit
I had RNY on 11/14. So I followed up with my PCP. I am no longer on BP or cholesterol medication and I'm down 21 pounds. That's pretty dang good for 16 days. I'm doing ok getting the fluids in but Protein is another story. I'm using powder mixes now but Friday I'm going to try some Premier Protein and see how that goes. Just wanted to give a little update on my progress. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery Nov. 30th
I just had RNY on November 14th. For me the first walk was the hardest. I walked the night of surgery. Do it as soon as you can. Start sipping on Water and even ice chips if your allowed to have them. Ice was my bff. Once you come home it's gets easier. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

7 days post op
Did you have the sleeve or gastric? Because you mentioned dumping episode, and they only use that term referring to the gastric bypass Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App I had RNY procedure Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

7 days post op
I had surgery last Monday 11/14/2016, doing great so far. I'm down 15 pounds already. I did have a dumping episode today. I drank my shake to fast. I won't do that again! I start the puréed stage tomorrow and I'm so excited! 3 weeks of liquid diet is enough. I drove to the grocery store today, that was good. No problems with that either. I still get tired easy but I guess that's expected a week out. My husband has been great thru all this. He took very good care of me the first few days. He still fusses if he thinks I'm doing to much. Just wanted to do a little update. Everyone have a blessed week. Happy Thanksgiving!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
