Hi Ann,
I'm sorry you aren't feeling good. There is a ton of help on these boards. Go to the bastric bypass boards and you'll find lots of support and advise. I do think if you can get in your liquids and not get dehydrated you'll feel alot better.
I had stomach stapling 19 yrs ago and still remember feeling like someone smacked me witha 2x4. I got better and started feeling good about 1 month out. Funny how I still remember that when I can't remember what I did yesterday!!!
Do you live in NM? Let me know how your doing, Darlene

Hi Darlene!
I live in Los Lunas and commute to ABQ daily. My primary, Marilyn Newby, with ABQ Healthpartners at the Montgomery Cinic suggested that I have the lapband procedure at my annual physical. She has a few other patients who have had success with it. She is a very caring person. She is very supportive and has worked closely with me and the staff at Las Palmas/Del Sol (El Paso) over the past six months to obtain approval from the insurance company (Cigna). I will have my surgery tomorrow. Give her a try.
Once on UTube, I read of a woman who had the gastric bypass, gained weight back, then had the lapband procedure. It worked for her.
I may be interested in joining a group.....Keep us posted.

Topic: Hello and Any Advice Would be Helpful
Hello, I'm new here. I've been checking out the website and what not for a little while, but finally decided to come here for some advice and support. I had my gastric bypass surgery 2 weeks ago and I'm having what I consider a rough time. I felt okay post-op, until about a week afterwards and then for several days I felt like a truck had run me over. I guess I'm just having a rough time with the weekness, and the foods and liquids I can take in. I feel like I can barely get in fluids, everything tastes nasty. Water even tastes gross. The Sonic Rt 44 cup of crushed ice is my only savior sometimes. I usually eat a full cup of ice each day. I've tried drinking the crystal light stuff and it's okay, kool-aid wth splenda is okay too, but I can't take in much of it and so I know I'm not getting my recommended fluid intake. Food is not going in so easily either. I keep hearing that everyone is different and it takes time, but I just hate feeling bad all the time. I don't have a lot of pain, occasionally on my left side near my ribs and I've only had a couple of days of nausea. I just would like to hear from others what can I do to feel better. Any advice would help. I can really even get my protein because the thought of it makes me want to gag. Help please!

Topic: RE: Top-20 List
Cowgrl,
Nice list. Funny thing is, the most simple of the items on my list, like push-ups and climbing a rope, are the ones I want most. I think it will be a pretty emotional experience for me the first time I do a push-up; I'm 32 and i've never been able to do one.
Thanks for posting!

I know that there are support groups in Las Cruces but I don't know of any in ALB. I would be interested in attending one in Alb along with a couple of other people I know.
That would be fun.......
