SURGERY DAY SET FOR OCT.6.2014
The only suggestions I can give you is to really follow his orders and eat a lot of protein because that really helps with wound healing. He may be leaving the hole to heal on it's own so that fluid will be able to drain out?
Good luck!
Hey there. I just posted something similar above. Maybe we can form a support group if anyone else is interested? I have gone back to my NUT and am seeing a psych so those may be some things possible for you too if you think.
Hi guys! Is there an active daily or weekly check in forum or group for support from regain that anyone knows about? I lost almost 200 but 4 years ago gained 70 back. My NUT seems to think my success weight will be around 230ish (started at 390) and am now at 270. This is based on the research out there about % of weight loss people have been able to keep off.
Anyhoo, just trying to cover all my bases to give myself the most support possible. I am also seeing my psychologist every 3 weeks or so. I am a member of the Back on Track group but there is really no activity on there. Thanks in advance!!

I read my surg report and it says VSG with the S being staples not sleeve. I am not having much luck googling tht, it comes up with sleeve! Did anyone else have staples instead of sleeve ? is that just how they did it 13 yrs ago? Any known complications from using staples instead of sleeve?

I second the BioTech...it's D3 and it's dry so our RNY-modified bodies can better absorb and use it. At my 1-year follow-up, the surgeon looked at my labs, looked at me and said, "I've NEVER said this to an RNY patient before...but your vitamin D levels are a little high!" LOL - I wasn't toxic and I was at a good level, just a bit above normal; it was just nice to see that I was able to maintain a good level when so many people have a hard time with that one. He did have me back off the number of times I take it but to stay on what I was using. Good luck!
