Well got bad news this week

Kidney problems making it look like I will have to have my RNY reversed,, High creatine levels,, and some sort of crystalization in my kidneys, I have what looks like two choices,, let my kidneys go and possibly leading to kidney failure,, or possibly reversing my RNY. Figures,,, the one good thing to happen to me in the past few years,,,, wasn't. SUPER BUMMED.

Wow I am sorry to hear that.  Would you be able to do any of the other WLS?

I'm sorry to hear that. sounds awful

Tom, I'm so sorry to hear that the problems continue. Obviousy, you can't let the kidney damage continue, but are they certain the creatinine is due to RNY? Would they be able to revise you to a sleeve or band?

Good luck with your decision, and I hope it gets you back to good health. Please keep us posted.

Well,, of course no-one can 100% sure of anything,, but it all points that way. Another optition I need to talk to Dr A about is going back to basically cutting my eating down,, and relying on protein shakes. The abnormal labs showed up right as I started giving up the protein shakes,, and going for more "normal" foods. I started to focus more on food and less on the shakes when Dr A and my primary started beating me up about it.

Tom,

I am so sorry you are going through all these problems.  I know this has got to be scary for you.  Have you decided what you are going to do?  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Please keep us posted. 

Hugs,

Cira

Tom I am just seeing this... I am so sorry to hear this news..  I wish I had better advice... I have none...   FWIW I have a protein drink every single day still... some days two...     I'm not a very good eater and they worry that my eating is disordered sometimes....  

How do they reconcile the RNY as causing the kidney problems?


I hope you find answers soon.
