Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    |  My Feeding tube is out! Hi everyone, I havent been on much, mostly a lurker and mostly because of time. I had to share my news though because its really a milestone for me. I had a feeding tube put in on December 12th because of a stricture/ulcer. Since I had a feeding tubeput in a couple days after surgery also because of a bowl obstruction right after surgery, the Dr's decided to keep this last one in for awhile just in case anything else would happen. I appreciated that because of course I didnt want it out and another out in again. Well on Feb 27th, I went back for an endoscopy to make sure everything was ok b4 they pulled out the tube. Thing is, I have been feeling great since the end of december. I was only on the tube feedings for 2 weeks. So I went there and was ready for the tube to come out. Can you believe, symptom free...I had another stricture! It had almost closed shut again and I was not sick or anything. Sooo, they said come back the following week and another endoscopy would be done to see how it looked. So I did, and this time they opened one more time to make sure it was open wide enough, and injected it with steriods. Then, I was told I could have my tube out! They said since I was doing great and not having problems, out it can come..and of course I took them up on it..lol It was better getting it out then dealing with it everyday! So I am tube free and able to do more exercises. Im so happy!!!  |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Thank you Doc and Lisa! I feel wonderful! Sometimes I wonder how much I could have lost w/o the complications ( each time on the feedings I gained some weight). But at the same time I tell myself that every pound counts, and its less than what I started with! I noticed that I have been slowing down a little bit, but now with the tube out,more exercises and hopefully more pounds dropped faster! lol I am very happy with the weight I have lost so far, even if it meant not losing anymore. But I know I will! Thanks for the hugs and care! Shannon |
