Really?! I will watch dairy and see what happens. So odd that it’s delayed to the next morning. I do eat string cheese so I will cut that out and see if it helps. thank you!!!!

I’m 8 months post-op. My doc says it might be acid reflux but I had RNY which seems so odd to me. I haven’t noticed a pattern in foodS. Based on the suggestions of watching dairy I will try that though!

Hello, My doctor hasn’t been any help. I wake up at least 3x a week with burning in my lower abdomen, nausea (drooling), and diarrhea. It only happens in the mornings and comes in waves. Anyone else experience this and found the problem? Thank you!

Hi Crigney21! I'm also going through the process with Kaiser in Portland. I am currently on step 4. Once my PCP approved me I received an email from the Bariatric department that said I was approved for the program. So far, through step 3, it seems as though unless there is an issue with my labs, the doctor doesn't feel I'm ready, etc. then I am going to have it. Let me know if you want to chat more! I know I was fishing so hard to find someone else who was going through it at Kaiser in Portland because each Kaiser is so different.

Try to take the time to really enjoy conversations with loved ones. When my family gets together and goes out for dinner it’s usually just something for us to do while we visit. Once I have the surgery I can focus more on WHY I’m there. [emoji5][emoji5]

Congrats!!! Keep us posted!

Which app is that?

Whooo!

Kaiser in Oregon will only do RNY bypass not the sleeve or band.

I know someone that works for TSA and they said sweat sets off those body scanners most commonly!

Good advice! Thank you!

Thanks for all the responses! I am planning on talking to my doctor about this too. I'm in the early pre-op stages where I'm taking a class starting next week that won't provide the space for surgery specific questions. My orientation isn't until week 6 of that, so it's going to be awhile until I am able to. Good to hear Tylenol may be an option! That helps bring some temporary relief until I can get a firm answer from the doc!

Hey all! I know this is an older thread but I would love to connect to others who are in Kaiser NW program. I start my healthy weight class on 5/7 (online). Anyone in this thread still active on here? Thanks!

Oh my gosh! You lost 84 pounds already? Way to go lady! [emoji123][emoji123][emoji123]

I'm pre-op. I take a lot of Advil and Tylenol for reoccurring headaches and I'm worried after reading this can cause complications after surgery. The doctor has never been able to pinpoint my headaches, between sinus inflammation, high BP, etc. but hopefully headaches decrease with weight loss. Do any folks post-op have experience with taking NSAIDs regularly post-op? Thanks!
