To fly or not to fly
GreenTealael replied to KadieEuropeBound's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
My team does not allow flying for 6 weeks post op because of the increase risk of blood clots. You really should ask your Team about their policy. Good Luck π -

Probably a dumb question
GreenTealael replied to TX2NC's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
IMHO Meal replacements and builder/gainer supplements are generally not for our population. They are usually for a vulnerable population at risk for true malnutrition or athletes (We aren't usually at risk unless their are exceptional circumstances, also generally not althletes in the early stages post surgery) *there are always exceptions The calories and macronutrient information on the label will give you clues plus your team will tell you their recommendations for protein supplements. Try to stick close to those specs Good luck π -

Fight, fight, fight and fight

Go back to your surgeon and ask them to test THOROUGHLY then submit it under revision for DOCUMENTED GERD (medically necessary) Good Luck π -
Its probably dehydration but don't discount vitamin depletion so let your team know immediately. B vitamins and iron are the usual suspects (when it happens to me) Good Luck π

π©Poop (or lack there of)
GreenTealael replied to GingerSlim's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Recent revision here π I was told that colace and miralax will help for daily relief but to contact the Team if its been longer than 3 days with no bowel movement. Contact yours to find out what you can have for this acute situation since its been so long. Good Luck π -
