Is a shot glass amount of red wine really that harmful at 11 months out? I have pretty much reached my goal weight. I have had no real problems. I dont mean I want to turn into an alcoholic, just to have a little wine with friends.

Hi all.

Have any of you emailed to the nurse/discharge navigator at TWH before? I have a question for them regarding gallbladder issues and I am trying to avoid having to call as I don't have a long distance plan. How long did it take for someone to email yo

Hi all. I had RNY on April 24, 2015. I am having some strange back pain that I am wondering if any one else has experienced. It starts off feeling like my bra is too tight. Then it becomes like being stabbed in the middle of my back and the pain ra

Hi all
I had RNY on April 24th. I started pureed food on Friday and so far so good, until tonight when I have a stomach ache. The only problem I am having so far is with the 30minutes between eating and drinking. I find this very hard. I th

Hi all,
I am going into day 9 post-op and I have a couple of questions. First of all, I have had no real issues since my RNY surgery April 24th. No complaints. I was told that my steri-strips would fall off on their own in 5-7 days. So far

Hi all,
I had my RNY surgery on Friday with Dr. Todd Penner. Such a nice man. Everything went really well. I was released from hospital today. I am staying in a nearby hotel until Thursday just to be safe, because I live about 4 hours away.
