Topic: RE: ulcers in remnant stomach
I had 16 months of excruciating pain in my upper abdominal area. Like a triangle in between the base of my rib cage. I had CT scans, upper Gi, and two lap procedures. Nothing was seen (they never looked inside my remnant . It turned out I had the H.Pylori bacteria. Two weeks of massive antibiotics and I was cured. I never took any NSAID after surgery so, maybe, yours could also be from that nasty bacteria. I hope they fix the problem ulcers stink!

Topic: RE: Very very severe constipation what can I do?
Are you still taking pain meds? They can really stop you up. Are you allowed any fruit? Oranges helped me. Hope it gets better soon.

Topic: RE: gave in....
Court.. I had over a year of extreme abdominal pain.. In the ER, hospitalized.. Skyrocketing BP as well. The even did exploratory surgery. It turned out that I had H. Pylori. They never did a biopsy before my RNY . I don't know if you have been checked but, it's worth mentioning. I am sorry you are struggling! Two weeks of some CRAZY antibiotics and I have had no pain since February.

Topic: RE: 5 Days after surgery will this work?
Oh you have quite a conundrum .. Five days is awful soon after your surgery. The meet probably wouldn't be an issue but, the ride there might be pretty uncomfortable. Not to mention, you have no guarantee of when you will be released from the hospital.? Just warn your daughter of the possibility that you might not be able to make it.. But you will do everything in your power to be there. Hugs Mama, I understand you will be in a tough spot.
As far as the liquid situation goes.. Get a thermos and bring ho****er.. Your new pouch may not be willing to accommodate cold beverages.. It took me about two months before I could! Lots of herbal tea
also you could add a chicken bullion cube to it if you were so inclined. We are all so different when it comes to recovery, you just never know. Good luck with everything!!

Topic: RE: Yes- revising from Sleeve to RNY..... Yes-I know the DS is the second part of the Sleeve but.....
Good luck to you.. I'm straight RNY so I have no experience with DS. My thoughts are these.. If its about YOUR body and the best outcome for YOU then the rest of us just need to sit back and provide any assistance we can. You are a big girl and have made your choice the non supporters can suck it!

Topic: RE: Updating driver's license?
My husband is retired Navy.. They would no longer allow me on the base with my old ID. Then they wouldn't allow my drivers license when I wrote a check... So I'm brand new and for the first time in my life, I actually weigh LESS than my license says I do

Topic: RE: Totally caught off guard by this in the grocery store.......
I used to be a support supervisor for a hotel call center.. Most people I worked with knew me by my voice firstly! Now, when I run into them in public, I start talking!! I talk right at them until they put my voice to my face and they always tell me, if you had not started talking I would have NEVER known it was you! It is a little unsettling ... But, it's kind of fun too.. It's like a contest to see how long it takes them to get it!

Topic: RE: Click....omg I am in love
I love it too! I make it with 8oz of milk 6 oz of water and a shake or two of cinnamon. SO good plus a little extra protein from the milk I also add one packet of Upcal - D to it so I get some of my calcium requirement a good alternative is Big Train Mocha.. It's more affordable, mixes well and heats up nicely. I prefer Click but Big Train will do in a pinch. I didn't care for the vanilla latte flavor.. I add a half capful of almond extract to it and its a little better.

Topic: RE: Shots in the stomach
I only had them while in the hospital.. I ended up with a bruise the size of a football! But, they don't really hurt. Every doctor does it different so you should ask yours how long you will need to have the blood thinners. Good luck with your surgery

Topic: RE: I know, I know.. another question about loose skin ;)
I wish there were a way to "see" what is in your future there are too many variables that are involved to be able to predict your outcome. There are some lucky folks that lose 200 lbs and never have an issue with skin and there are those of us that do. There really isn't anything that will help :/
I hope that the possibility of having excess skin won't deter you from moving forward with your new life.
