Which probiotics do you take

I am a revision under goal weight, its okay. thank you

I had one headache but was able to get rid of it. What about your blood pressure? Ricotta bake is a mixture of ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, and spices. Topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese and baked to perfection.

@ge0rgette2 I don't have any issues with pills. When was you original surgery ? I don't feel anything it goes right through.

I came home 5 lbs heavier and I am only 2.5 down from when I went in. I am on full liquids and am not having any issues. I have had yogurt, creamed soups, ricotta bake, and I tried a scrambled egg but it sat there awhile so I wont be doing that for a bit longer.

Well I would like to know what you find out. I have been having it also. It just started Thursday and I said something to the surgeon while there and he pushed around a little and thinks it has something to do with the incision sight but I don't think so, it goes to deep and sometimes feels like its in my back. I don't have gallbladder either. I am hoping its just a pulled muscle. I giving it a few more days before I call back down there.

Had my first real Bowel movement today it was Black and firm/hard. Took me all day to relieve myself with Mom and other things, ugh Weighed in at 177.8 and I am still very swollen on left side and bloated, it sucks. I am getting in just at 600 calories a day. I would think I little more weight would be gone by now but whatever at least I don't feel burning anymore.

@FluffyChix I was lurking in the Poo section because of a bowel movement I had and there you are describing it. Black looked like tar. I am guessing this isn't unusual for the first time after bypass?

How much for the waddle removal ?

I am sorry you are having all these difficulties. I would imagine your BMI would be too low for approval but I am not an insurance person or a Dr. You may not get the fullness you are looking for in a 2nd surgery. If you have not read what is being said you may want to go check out some of the revision threads out there. Have you tried the 5 day reset ? Its suppose to help shrink your pouch back somewhat and get you back on track like a pre op.

I wont wear shorts either for same reason, but the Dr. who did my breasts wont do thighs I was told . I have decided I cant afford it anyways and if I were going to do anything it would be my bat wings. Good luck to you

I feel your pain. My guy made bacon cheeseburgers my first night back. I mean REALLY ! Sorry about your nausea. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Do you have any kind of heartburn or acid reflux ? If not this is the best surgery because it doesn't change anything but the size of your stomach. I really have not heard of any other problems with it other then the GERD.

I cant take tramadol for that reason.

Well I haven't been sleeping very well. I am waking up all hours of the night. I took a flex last night to help me relax and sleep with the pain on my right side. I got 6 hours and still felt groggy so I went back and slept another hour or so more and feel a little better. I had a scrambled egg for breakfast with parmesan cheese. I ate the whole thing within 15 minutes. I know something is there because it has been 45 min and I just took a sip of juice ( diet oceanspray ) and I thinking it might not be time to drink lol. I gonna wait 30 more minutes just to be safe.

Ask them if they have a binder. It wraps around you and keeps everything from moving . I don't know what I would do without one. I need it to sleep because I move around a lot . Is the Toradol working ? That crap would not have touched my pain. Hope you are feeling better.

21 years ago wow. How much has she regained in 2 years ? Well I will tell you had I had this revision due to weight gain I would be very upset right now. It is not at all like I thought it would be. I just had breakfast and ate a whole scrambled egg with parmesan cheese no problem. Has she talked to a surgeon ?

@ge0rgette2 Are you kidding me ? They don't have you on something strong after going through all of that ? That is just horrible ! Do you not have a binder ? I asked for one immediately .

Unless you are eating dense protein it slides right on through is what I was told by the surgeon yesterday. He told me my pouch was the size of a shot glass and I will feel the restriction when I move to dense proteins. How much dense protein can you eat ? I am lucky I guess no nausea. Are you taking anything for it ? They gave me meds for it but I haven't taken any. I am afraid of toilet, lol !

Hoping its gone in a few more weeks. My youngest son is getting married June 20th and I would like to be feeling normal and not swollen and bloated. The nurse said I would be fine. Hope you are having a wonderful vacation !

Our bariatric center wont do WLS unless you are nicotine free for 3 months. They do urine tests 2 weeks before and the day of to make sure you are nicotine free or no surgery. I had been a smoker for 30+ years and quit because I wanted this more then smoking. Its really a win win . I quit by vaping with non nicotine vape . Then a year later I started back up. Then I quit again for my breast reduction ( same thing no breast reduction with nicotine in system}You would think that would be it but no I am relentless and started yet AGAIN. I quit for this revision ( yes this is the 3rd time in 3 years) and I will never go back. Its just too hard to keep doing to myself and I actually like being a non smoker !

Had my 1 week checkup today and all is well. He explained the shoulder pain as being transfer pain from all the work they did on the left side with the hernia repair. He said my pouch is the size of a shot glass and the reason I am not feeling restriction is because I have been on full liquids and they flow right on through. So as soon as I move on to solids I will feel it. He moved me on to the soft phase since I have not had thrown up or been nauseous. So I made ricotta bake and it is delish !! Tomorrow its a scrambled egg and cottage cheese !!! Weighed in at 178.6 this morning. I am still pretty swollen.

Its a trip for sure !! You are lucky you get to sleep. I could not pee after surgery and was threatened with a catheter. I ended up being able to go early that evening. How is the hernia ? I think that hernia made it worse for the both of us. Hang in there

No the dumping is individual. Some people dump and some don't.

Have you tried Dexilant ? That sleeve will give you restriction with all foods. That wont be the case with the bypass. ( at least not for me and others posting on this page) If you read through this thread there are a couple of ladies who have posted how much weight they have lost and how much harder it is . I am sure if your Dr. feels you need a revision you will lose the 30 lbs but something is telling me it will be harder to keep off if you are using the sleeves restriction to tell you when to stop eating. I am only a week in but that is what it is feeling like to me at this time. GL
