I'm the next in line for my RNY!

Oh my goodness... I just went to Dr. Hornbostel's site and I'm next on his list for my RNY!!!  YIKES!

I know he has been out of town because I talked with Margie today.  If anyone is before me, they have not posted their date.

Wow- how sobering! 

Right now I just wish my mouth would feel 'right' I ate bars for my last two shakes.  Just don't think I've had good luck with shakes today- Tomorrow is another day-

We don't eat for 4 weeks actually. 2 pre-op and 2 post-op at least- wow-

Dr. H may have other surgeries but if the person hasnt registered at his web site it doesnt show on there. Wont be long for you now. I dont know why the protein mix did that to you. Could be the meds who knows. why did they put you on that med since having the scope?  Good way to think of things reqarding this wls. Tomorrow is another day. cant change today but can try again tomorrow.  Take care girl

Hey Jan- Yes, I thought of the other people that just are not on-line too...but it was still quite sobering to see I'm next!

When I had my belly scope, doc. found the right combination of things that would leak to ulcers.  I forget now just how he worded it.  But, his standard approach is to put you on a antibiotic and the Prilocet.  I'd figure it would coat your stomach?  It is for acid reflux, which I've never had...  But you know our doc., he takes no chances- better safe than sorry is pretty much his take on things.  I was shocked that my blood work-up showed anything going on in my stomach. 

I love Crystal Light White Grape sf drink...and the apple flavor too.  I bought several more tonight.  The punch and cherry and all that type are much too sweet for me.  I'll give those to the grand kids like cool-aid.

YAY!!!  makes it seem more real doesn't it?  I posted on your "slimy mouth" about the med issue but will put it here too....one of the reasons he does the scope is to check for H-pylori...a bacteria that causes ulcers....you had it.  He put you on antibiotics to treat it, but it still means you are at high risk for ulcers which isn't a good thing to have if you are having RNY.  Soooo....he also put you on prilosec to decrease your chances of ulcers even more because prilosec is an acid blocker...it doesn't coat your stomach, it keeps the acid levels down.  The bacteria was actually in your STOMACH not your blood....does that make it clearer??? 

Nancy- What a great help you are!  Thanks! 

I threw up last night, and this morning the mouth issue is gone...thank you Lord!  I tell ya, yesterday was tough-

I'd bet my diabetes medicine is hard on the lining of my stomach- I know it sure keeps me on the potty lots of days.  But Metformin is famous for that with just about everyone.

I've had my galbladder removed.  I wonder if that changes my dijestive stuff too?  I never thought about it before.

Gotta run, it's so nice outside today!

Glad I could help...I knew I would need all that junk I learned in school sometime!!!  Your gallbladder being out will affect your digestion too, but usually only with fats....generally they will run right through you without the old gallbladder in place....that should actually get better for you after surgery since our consumption of those types of foods is practically nothing....Have a great day!!!  We are going to Donkey basketball tonight at the high school...of course I will have my 2oz cup of cottage cheese or something in my pocket!!!!   Take care.

Thanks Nancy - I'm glad you went to school too!  It helps a lot to understand some stuff. 

I'm headed down for a much needed nap....
