I found a doctor who is assisting me with getting started. I submitted my doctor's referral to him to get the OHIP covered panniculectomy

Hey!
Total newbie here - I don't use Facebook so I'm apparently missing out on what's happening in those groups..
I am post op 3 weeks and down 18.6lbs. I am still on full liquid diet for another week or so.. The things I have read on this forum have been so helpful! Any tips for continued success as I move into the soft/regular phase?
thanks!
I am SO sorry that you went through this. I too struggle with an ulcer. But it doesn't stop me from eating... and eating. Thanks for sharing and I hope you get healthier and better. God bless xoxo

I noticed that my surgery date is 2009, not 2011. I am not great with dates, never have been.
I had stomach ulcers that ruptured my pouch. I have to take a pill, twice a day for the rest of my life to reduce the acid in my pouch.
Before I had the rupture, I felt constantly sick to my stomach, pain, couldn't eat, and kept telling doctors about it. Not one listened. They still don't.
I go on ....with covid being here, it has gotten worse. Can't find my doctor anywhere. I guess people stopped needing medical attention.
Sorry for downer post, but there hasn't been any support from anywhere. That is why I posted. There are probably hundreds more like me, that need it also.
Whoa! What do you mean by RNY rupture? I'm glad you made it. OH man. Scary stuff.

Hi fellow Ontarion,
Had my surgery August 2011 in Michigan. My highest 315, current 168. It hasn't been easy, had a ruptured RNY in 2015 which almost killed me, came through that, 2017 had a major hernia repair and a tummy tuck. I had complications, took me a couple of years to get over that. I haven't had any regain, my family doctor follows my health.
For everything I have gone through, I can honestly say I am happy with my outcome. I still have other health issues, but I deal with it. I live day by day.....
