Finally got it done!
Hi everyone. Just got home and wanted to say HI.
I had my RNY done on monday(3/14/05) at about 12noon. (I weighted in at 335#.)
The first 3 days I don’t remember much….being tired and on a morphine drip.
The last 2 days I had some pain, not bad enough to need anything for. The worst
time was when I had a reaction of sorts from some “light and fit” yogurt with
vanilla. I ended up on the camode for about an hour with diarriah and the dry
heaves. The nurses thought that I may be lactose intolerant. One of the girls
from my local support group says that I may have experienced my first ‘dumping’.
(She was the operation just before me.) The surgeon said that it just may be
that my system is not ready for yogurt yet, especially since I tolerated the
milk they gave me.
