Nobody told me anything either but they have to be dissolving. Ask at your 6 week appointment. Just got my appointment yesterday for June 17th. I am 11 days post op today and feeling good. Just seem to wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning and have a hard time going back to sleep. Hence, I am awake at 5:42 a.m. Hope you are doing well! What are you eating at this point? I am blending chicken breast, having Greek yogurt, still some Boost, cooked and mashed carrots. Feeling good!

I had the RNY. Are the staples permanent? Or disolving. I honestly dont recall anyone mentioning it to me. What are they made of?

I found PB2 here in Winnipeg at Aviva health store on St. James either at Wellington or Sargent, I don't remember :)  It's $10 a jar.

Topic: RE: Pain reliever

I know I read that RNY patients aren't supposed to take NSAIDs, it was one of the reason's I went with VSG.  I know both ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (Aleve) are both NSAIDs, so I think you are regulated to Tylenol.  Don't quote me, I could be wrong, It's been a long time since I played a Dr. on TV....... lol
