Yes, you need to take Vitamins after surgery. Taking vitamins isn’t a bad idea for most people.
I use the PatchMD ones. I take enough pills as it is & I don’t want to take anymore orally. My daughter takes the BariatricPal ones. Others take chewable children’s vitamins (I couldn’t stand those & a kid).
I had a RNY because I had previous surgery to fix a hiatal hernia that had failed & it was causing me a great deal of acid reflux again.

Talk with your doctor to pick the best surgery for you!

Thanks a lot! Now I can't stop thinking about it 😹
IDK, but I sure hope someone can answer this for us!

Hi Elaine, welcome.
The doctor is just gonna talk with you about your weight, your dieting history, what the surgery is like, what to expect from the surgery & help you decide which surgery is right for you.
If you have acid reflux at all you should have a RNY.
From what I’ve seen in the boards, your age isn’t a concern at all.

Toodles, Rue

How much Protein are you getting? You should be focusing of getting all of your protein in right now.

I’m sorry you are having period problems. They do suck. Like everyone has said, go see a Gyno they know more about women’s body parts then a Baritric surgeon does. It could be something that isn’t related to your surgery at all.
You are probably have low Iron too from all of your bleeding.
please let us know what your Gyno finds out.

This is going to sound really weird but try eating a spoonful of raw oatmeal.
I’m over 2 1/2 years out & I get nauseas quite frequently. I buy Meclizine by the bottle from Amazon to carry with me if I’m not at home. Sometimes I’m so nauseous that I take both!
I hope you find something!

Sorry insurance is being such a butt head!!! They can be so frustrating!
Hang in there, it will happen.

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. That has got to be really hard. People seem to really only think about what the mother of the child is going through. The rest of the family goes thought devastating greif & loss too.
Please find someone to talk to or a support group to help you get throught this.

I have been using PatchMD Vitamins. My Vitamin levels have been fine.

Is this what your doc recommended to use? I have never heard of it before. I think most of us just used broths, juices or a Protein Shake.

I loved reading your story. Thanks for sharing it with us.
food is always gonna be a struggle, surgery just helps you get to your goal faster. Just like an alcoholic has to remain sober.
Obesity is a disease. Please follow all of the guidelines that your surgeon gives you!!!
I wish I would have never let sugar & alcohol back into my life. I am struggling so much right now.

Best of luck to you.

Maybe your pouch just isn’t ready for that stage. Or maybe your pouch doesn’t like the brand of Protein you are giving it.
It’s. Ok to stay in stage 3 for a little bit longer.

Dust yourself off. Just don’t do it again.
Continue to weigh your food so you don’t over eat.

Wow! That’s crazy. I have had several & never woke up!

I know exactly how you feel! I have taken up drinking way to much during this time! I keep telling myself I’m not gonna buy anymore & then I buy some more! I have put on 30 lbs & I’m not happy with myself at all!

How wonderful!!!!

To never even test your new self to see if you can have sugar ever again! I’ve slipped back into my horrible eating habits & have gained 25 lbs. I’m so upset with myself & I’m having a hard time getting back on track. Those food & alcohol demons will always be with me!

Sending good vibes!
Hospital check list: chapstick, toiletries, own pillow, slippers or slide on sandals, phone charger, wear same comfy clothes home that you wore to the hospital.
