Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    |  Diverticulosis Question...I work with a girl who is about 2 years out and she pulled me to the side today telling me that I need to make sure that I am getting my Fiber. I told her that my doc never said anything regarding this and was focued on the Protein and many other things. Anyway, she told me that she was in horrible pain and feeling sick so she got in to see the doc and they found out that she had Diverticulosis from not getting enough Fiber. And to make matters worse, there is no way to get rid of it?!?!?! Is this something that I need to be focusing on? |

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 | That is really scary...she looked HORRIBLE! I guess if Fiber is the culprit, it seems that something like Metamucil is in my near future! |

| Super Moderator  | Well, if you don't have diverticula to begin with, you don't have to worry about getting diverticulosis. Doesn't have to do with WLS, but it poor food choices do seem to cause it. Just be sure you have regular BMs. Besides, Kim, you are still too early out for fibers yet, ask your surgeon or nut when you will be cleared for fiber.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I take benefiber 2X a day. It was on my list from my surgeon as one of those lifetime committment things like our vitamins. It comes in a fruit chewables flavors and is sugar free.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Iron is really bad for BMs. Unsweetened applesauce can help . They even make a strawberry type....
