Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Now this makes more sense.... Ok, went for my first post-op with my gorgeous doc and he explained everything to me. The sheet that they give everybody is from the older doc who retired and were his beliefs and mostly for 'open' pts. I don't know why they don't rewrite it because his ideas are much different than even the other two docs left in the office. He even said that almost every doc who does these differs - and we can ALL vouch for that!!  So his changes: 1. No it's not 3 hours of no drinking after you eat, it's at least 1 hour. His comment : when would you have time to drink? THANK YOU - that was my question!  2. No I don't have to take bile salts (for the other 2 docs you do), but he had a few reasons which sounded good to me. He said if an issue comes up with my gallbladder, we'll deal with it then. 3. I have been allowed to have full liquids for days now!!! (ok, I'll admit, I started onday in tiny amounts and did fine - now I don't feel guilty!)  4. My sheet has no full liquid stage and says purees for 4 weeks. My doc told me to do full liquids a few days (already did!), puree for a few more and start solid food next week. I will do this in extreme moderation with extreme caution and common sense, but BOY is this different than that sheet! I'm so glad I went with my little list of questions. And I told him all about you guys and he said especially since I live so far from their office (1 hour away), he says it's excellent to have such support!! Thank you ladies!!!!

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 | Actually Traci I meant to tell you that it wasn't a misprint because it says it in 2 places and one spot says '2 1/2 -3 hours'. Gosh, if I didn't have you guys, I wouldn't have even known to ask! Can you imagine how many people have probably struggled with this? It's crazy and makes me even more greatful to have you guys!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Sounds like a great report...I actually can't believe how many surgeons do this and then just basically cut the patient loose...with no info....don't get me wrong, if I called my NUT right now, she'd help, but I don't know what I would do without my RR family! |
