  4. I use optisource Vitamins. They are specific for bariatric patients. I bought them at Walgreens. It's about $28 a month for them. They have an orange, citrus taste to them. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  5. I had band to RNY revision 4/1/16. I just had to have 3 month preop appointments with the nutritionist. My insurance required that. Then I had to see pulmonologist, and that was my surgeon requesting that. My insurance denied me at first. I filed an appeal and typed up a 3 pg letter explaining why I needed this done. Best decision ever! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  6. Does the premier Protein mess with anybody's G.I. tract? I was drinking them and they gave me diarrhea. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

  11. I am 3 months post op. I'm down 45 lbs. My hair is starting to come out some, not much. I have a lot of hair! However, hair loss is temporary. I even had it with the band. I have seen many people that are much further out than me. I think they look great. Just be faithful about taking your Vitamins. I will be getting my labs done soon. The way I feel, I would think they are on point. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App I think you will do great! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  12. I am extremely happy with my decision for revision from band to RNY. I feel so much better. No more acid reflux. I can actually eat salads and raw veggies now. I hadn't been able to in years. The surgery was no big deal, either. Minimal pain. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  13. I'm glad that I had mine done in one. The recovery wasn't bad at all. If your surgeon says it's safe, then believe him. An advantage to doing it at once is that you only have to go under anesthesia once. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  14. I had band removed and revision to RNY all in the same surgery. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
  15. Mine was supposed to be 2. I had a revision from band to bypass. I had a minor complication and stayed 4 nights. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

  17. Definitely get help. I to work in the medical field and I had a coworker that had RNY and shr ended up becoming an alcoholic. She ended up losing her Xray license. Definitely not something to mess around with. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
  18. I am one month out today. I haven't had any problems with restrictions on my liquid intake. In fact I can get 64 oz in, in a day. I think that everyone is so different in swelling and such, that restrictions are different for everyone. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
  19. You will feel better having your band out. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

  21. Ok, I think my protein has dairy in it. I better change it. I'm wondering if that's the issue. Thank you. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
  22. Good idea. I will do that. Thank you. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
