  1. @catwoman7 I really appreciate the support. Is really good to know that I can ask at the hospital. I did not get much pain from my gallbladder surgery but I know this surgery is completely different if I decide to go with the RNY. Thank very much for your reply
  2. @Lynnlovesthebeach for sure, I will definitely buy one thank you for sharing
  3. @crpowers thank you for your reply.
  4. My wife had her RNY in 2019, I remember her pain was so intense that even clearing her throat would hurt her abdomen. Doing my research on how to minimize this type of discomfort beside taking your pain meds post surgery one can also have some relief by using a pillow or a brace to help you support the abdomen. Has anyone had experience with this and did it work for you? Any suggestion on a particular brand? And thank you in advance for all the replies this is a wonderful online community I am grateful for this forum it has really giving me hope and help me manage my questions and navigate thru my anxiety.

  12. Interesting ? I’ve read some studies more Anecdotal than actual data driven. But nothing better than the experience of those whom have gone thru it. I really appreciate you time in replying. Cheers!!
  13. I take zoloft for antiexy. I've researched a bit on the internet and found that once you do a Gastric Bypass your psych meds will actually work differently. I wanted to know if anyone who has gone thru surgery had any experience with this. Thank you all in advance.
  14. Same here Dave I’ve been taking nexium for quite sometime. Keyword strongly - Thank you for taking out of your time and sharing. This forum really makes a difference.
