Hello Coop,

Your original post is here on this message board just below this thread. New profiles are on an automatic 24 hour moderation until the profile has ben approved so that may be why your post did not show up in a timely matter.

Thank you! I will make sure to tell them. This is rough to deal with.

Yes, I agree. I did go into emergency for IV fluids but ran into the same problem coming home. I have a call with my surgeon today. Hopefully with next steps.

Dehydration and a stricture seem to be common culprits that early on. Some people may try to progress to the next stage in their menu plan and have issues too. Definitely don't wait for it to get better but talk to your medical team and be open/honest with what's going on.

Topic: RE: uncomfortable

I think you have to be wiling to participate to get anything out of these types of message boards but what you share is always up to you. Have you settled on what type of surgery you will be having? The sub-threads tend to be more active than the general thread.

There is a sub-thread for Men that is pretty active (making an assumption based on your name only); the RNY daily thread is open to all comers regardless of surgery type, and I think the other surgery specific ones (DS and VSG) are regularly active too.

Good luck in your process
