Hi, I've had PICC Line in for 12 weeks to feed and hydrate me. Idk when it will be be removed. I am at the end of my patience. This is too hard for me to deal with anymore! I wake up crying and in pain and discomfort and go to bed the same way since 3/19/18. Everything I put in my mouth hurts me or makes me sick.
- Oh yes so sorry, 5cm long and 30mm dilated. Thank you for catching my error.
After doing a bit of research (called googling) I also think you may have a typo. Because standard pouch and stoma sizes seem to be very different than what you are reporting. You might want to double check those numbers.
That can't be right. 30 cm is about 12 inches.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
Why do you have a picc line? How much longer will you have it?

I would think your new insurance would cover fixing the hiatial hernia even if it does not cover a revision to your revision. That may help your acid reflux. Does your surgeon want to revise you to RNY?

I think it depends on which policy your employer has chosen for you , some employers exclude wls.
Thanks for writing back. I spent so time researching the gastric sleeve I'm lost with what to do now that it's been converted to an rny.
Well I had my gastric bypass rny from sleeve/hernia repair repair July 3rd. I still have the PICC line in. I'm not sure how to recover from 19 weeks of this. I feel sick eating or drinking anything. my current weight is 189lbs down from 253lbs 3/19/18. Im still trying to recover. How are you doing? ??
Hello,
i had a VBG as well in Lubbock by Dr. Hall.
I am having problems with H Pylori. It is know amongst several people who have had this procedure. I am in the process of having it revised. My doctor is doing the Gastic By Pass. The acid reflex may also be a sign of H Pylori as well. It is believed due to food getting stuck. When it rotten it turns to a bacteria . I had my apron removed from my stomach and they found a hernia . So another thing to worry about . Anyway hope this helps. EHAYWOOD
