Topic: RE: Post-op Complications
Hi Amy
I had a small bowel obstruction about 1 yr after my RNY. RNY 9/22/03 bowel surgery 9/09/04
It is one of the complications of any abdominal surgery.
I did lose weight before and after the surgery though.
Topic: RE: bloodwork results
Milk Thistle (protects liver function) will help LOWER elevated liver enzymes. If you are still losing weight they will probably be elevated. You can buy Milk Thistle capsules at any drugstore or online.

Topic: I Made My Gym's Newsletter
Hi Everyone:
Happy Friday to All!!!
Well, I managed to get my picture in another publication this week. My gym produces a newsletter/promotional book each quarter to distribute to it's members and attract new mwmbers. The gym owner stopped me Tuesday as I was entering to tell me that my before & after photos are in the newsletter. He was so excited. He told me that it was being mailed to the over 1,500 members and each perspective member receives one when they come in for a tour of the facility.
I told him that I was honored to be in the newsletter and it's OK if they want to take some credit for helping me get in better shape (LOL). I guess it's just one of the many exciting things that has happened to me since my surgery and I'm enjoying every moment.
Till next time,

Topic: Success!!
Hi Everyone:
HAPPY FRIDAY TO ALL!!!
I just wanted to say a few words today about success. I read a lot of posts that reflect that some think that if they don't get to goal, are losing slow or are on a plateau, that somehow, it's a failure.
After all the diets we have all tried before WLS, losing weight through gastric bypass surgery is a great thing and every pound you lose should be considered a success. There is no failure with gastric bypass. You may lose slowly but remember it is not a competition so don't compare yourself with someone else. Your surgeon may give you a goal or you may have a goal in your mind. If you come up short by 5 pounds, so what? Getting to 99% of your weight loss goal is a success. Look at it this way. A baseball player that fails 70% of the time is a Hall of Famer.
Remember to expect and accept success and you will never consider yourself a failure.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!
Till next time,
Jesse

Topic: Post-op Complications
Hey guys,
I had a RNY surgery on 9-9-03. I just got out of the hospital because I had a small bowel obstruction. The surgeon said it was a complication of my gastric bypass surgery. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I had not lost any weight for 6 months and now since surgery I have already lost 10 pounds.
