Runny nose for me too. Weird,

Thank you for the reply. You're spot on. Cacit D3 with 400iu of vitamin D. I also take 2x5000 chewable D3 vits daily. Much prefer Centrum to Forceval, I'll see if my GP will prescribe some. My nutritionist directed me to take either 2 Forceval or 4 Centrum vits per day. Interesting to note that...

One pill crusher ordered! Thanks chaps.

Thank you for the reply. I'm still having trouble with hard tablets. I can feel quite an amount of discomfort and sharpness as they reach my stomach at present. The Calcium and D3 combo I have been instructed are also soluble and almost as awful to take. Would there be a problem if I simply bit...

My apologies it's a soluble multi-vitamin, maybe peculiar to the UK only?. The team dietician stated that one tablet is the equivalent to one chewable Centrum multi-vitamin so one alternative is 4x Centrums but they are quite expensive and would be about $9 a week.

Hi Everyone, Merry Christmas to one and all. I'm 24 days out from my revision to DS from RNY and from day 3 have as instructed by my surgeon been taking 2 Forceval solubles in water twice a day (amongst other vits) . I find the Forceval vile! Akin to licking a rusty pipe and I gag. Its quite...

Hi, I had my RNY to DS revision (and a hernia repair) 24 days ago and went back to work after 17 days. I felt well enough but fatigue soon crept up on me 4 hours into a 15 hour tour. My batteries ran dry ... felt exhausted. It takes quite a while to build up ones stamina after major surgery and...

Hello Scott, Thank you for the reply. It does sound like my surgeon has erred on the side of safety which is certainly fine by me, I was concerned that it may have been at the cost reduced weight loss and tougher maintenance. The measurements don''t appear to be too alarming thanks to your...

Congratulations Hilary. I'm genuinley pleased for you. You must feel as well as look wonderful.

Hello Everyone, I recently had revision surgery from RNY to DS in the UK (28th November 2015). Thank you for all your support and best wishes on the revision forum. According to my surgeon, my cc is 100cms which I am happy with, it seems to be the most common, common channel length. I have...

Thank you so much everyone for the posts and replies. Very reassuring to be part of this community. Your observations and opinions on the meds and bruising etc is most welcome as are your best wishes Thank you again

Thank you for the advice and information. Means a lot.

Hello Everyone, My apologies for not posting earlier, just arrived home today after staying a few days with my best friend after discharge. The laproscopic Gastric bypass to Duodenal switch and hernia repair surgery went ahead as scheduled on Sat 28/11. Mr Kerrigan was lead surgeon along with...

Hi, Thank you for the message. I recently joined the UK WLS info site. I was surprised to find so many UK DS'ers on there. Had my pre-op today, blood pressure high at 157/90 but still operable. Full steam ahead Saturday hopefully Regards Les

Thank you. Some good people on here and I'm learning so much already

Hi, Mr David Kerrigan in the UK is performing RNY to DS revision. I'm having the procedure done on 28th November 2015 via Phoenix Health UK. His colleague Shafiq Javed also performs this procedure via the same company.

Hello TLC, I think we're in the same boat. Luck to us both Regards Les

Hello Diana, The procedure is the full 2 anamostoses with a 100cm common channel. We spoke long and in detail about the revision options and we discussed the SAD-I and although he can perform both procedures he recommended the full DS with established long term results in my case. I read some...

Thank you for the welcome and for your kind words. So reassuring to know all this knowledge and experience is on tap. Regards Les

Thank you for the welcome. I think the fear of the surgery not going ahead is greater than the apprehension of the surgery itself! Fingers crossed there are no hiccups and it goes ahead on schedule. Regards Les
