Accutane (isotretinoin) after RNY?
toodlerue replied to maggie354's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Both of my daughters did acutane as teenagers. I did not look at all the risks. They just wanted clear skin. Looking back I would only have put them on it if they had cystic acne. It almost ruined one girls liver. Do your research & take with caution. -
Wow! That’s crazy! Did the dr save the cancer port for proof? Or take pictures? Going after him is something to look into. As for the pain you are in today, I can relate! I had The horrible gas pain in my shoulder for 3 weeks.! I have Had lots of different surgeries and this was the 3rd worse!

2 years post surgery problems
toodlerue replied to cbrenner1980's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Do you still have your gallbladder? -
I’m still here! Just been busy & enjoying life 50 pounds lighter! How are you doing?
-
I bought some but didn’t eat it. I just Puréed whatever I had made for the family. My puréed chicken with made with broth was way better then premade baby food!
-
I’m just over 5 months out. I’d say it took me about 2-3 months. When others started to notice or family members told me how good I am doing.

This surgery takes a lot out of you. My daughter had a hard time going back to work in retail at 10 days. She found it hard to get enough protein in to have enough stamina to make it through a 4 hour shift.

Higher calorie foods for gastric bypass
toodlerue replied to greenlitego70's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Is there a nutritionist you can talk to? One from the hospital or through your insurance? We have Cigna & I talked With one on the phone every 2-3 weeks after my surgery. Best of luck to you. -
Yeah! Congrats on shopping on the other side of the store!

Cook veggies in broth to give them more flavor & then use some of the broth when you mush them.

6 weeks out, now ready to eat "normal" foods...Questions inside
toodlerue replied to CyclicalLoser's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I ate Meatloaf made in my insta pot during the soft stage. I didn’t have any problems at all. The insta pot makes The meatloaf so tender & juicy not at all like when I would make it in the oven. Everyone is different you have to figure out what your body can handle -
Yes! It means they are healing. I have always put a hydrocortisone cream on my stitches when they started to itch! I had major back surgery 5 years ago. Image having a 20” incision down the middle of your back start itching! I used hydrocortisone on that too with no problems! Just make sure your hands are clean!

It normally takes me 3 months to go through my 60 count of Norco (I have them because my back is fussed from T2-T12). I went through 1 bottle the month after surgery. The pain in my shoulder from the gas used during surgery was so bad for 3 weeks. The pain lasted longer then any other gas pain I had from any of the abdomen surgeries when the gas was used.

I’m at the same place you are. My surgery was May 16th. I have only lost 25 since surgery, but 35 since Jan. That’s when my doctor counts it from.

Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernia
toodlerue replied to manleygirl's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had A Fundolipaction 12 years ago to repair a Hiatal hernia. It came undone & forced my esophagus into an L shape & 1/2 of my stomach was above my diaphragm. I had a bypass 2 months ago. My BMI is in the 30’s. My dr made my stomach a little bigger & didn’t bring as much of my intestines up. He isn’t a Bariatric Dr. He’s a Thorasic/Esophagus dr. -
I had A RNY in May. I don’t have problems with gas at all. I’m constipated most of the time & I’ve read that that’s normal too. Everyone is different after surgery so who knows what your body will do.
