Hello all!! I was trying to go back to look for post about vitamin D! I just had my 3 month labs drawn and I am low on my Zinc and Vitamin D. But I thought I read that we don't absorb the vitamins with oil and it seems like all of the Vitamin D's i find are all in oil. Just thought I would...

So I am almost 3 weeks post op from an open RNY revision to DS and I think my incision is infected, not the entire thing but at the very bottom is very red and there is a lump. It just started to ooze a little bit. It is tender to the touch as well. I called my surgeon and he said to put a...

HI..well I’m officially 1 week post op, been doing ok I’m very tired and sore but otherwise fine. With one exception, this damn drain, I think I must have aggravated it and now it’s leaking I called Dr they told me to apply pressure and it should stop. Well I did and it hasn’t, trying to get...

Yes that’s true certain employers can opt out of that type of surgery!

Hi!! I just had a RNY to DS surgery on Tuesday with Dr. Greenbaum in NJ. My surgery was fully covered except for my deductible. My insurance is Capital Blue of Pennsylvania, which is just Pennsylvania’s version of BC/BS. My Dr office submitted it and they approved me on the first try!! Believe...

Hi everyone, just wanted to let ou know that I’m done w surgery and recovering nicely. I am extremely tired and sore. Trying to drink but I get the hiccups and it hurts my stomach. Dr said surgery went well took about 4 hours,he gave me 100cc and 150 Al. So just wanted to say thank you to all...

Hi all!! Having surgery on Tuesday and was wondering what to buy post op as far as food. I'm trying to look for protein powders. I usually use premier protein and make my own shakes with almond or 2% milk. I also use genpro and add it to my coffee as well. I know water will most likely be my...

So I had my final surgical consult with Dr. Greenbaum. My surgery is exactly 2 weeks from today!! I told him how I did not want to wake up from surgery with anything other then the proper DS and he agreed to that. He is also going with the Hess method on me, although he did say that he would...

Dr. Greenbaum in New Jersey

Hello all! Having revision to DS and was wondering if the Hess method was the best way to go as far as getting the best results? I know that I have to do my part as well but I’m just not sure if I just let my surgeon do whatever he is going to do or if I should request that particular method! I...

My boys are 12 and 14 and both are pretty active. My younger son is heavily involved with sports and I can barley walk on the fields because i have osteoarthrits in both of my knees. We just came back from Disney which was excruciating for me :cry: . I used to have no problem walking or...

Yes I am definitely hoping for no gas pains, I have had my fair share of those. I have had a few abdominal surgery's. C-section, abdominoplasty, but for some reason I am extra nervous about this one. Maybe because I'm older and my healing time is not as quick as it used to be. Not to mention...

Yes I will definitely ask him. When I went for consult he did explain to me in detail what he would be doing. He will be reversing my RNY, giving me a full DS with 2 Anastomsis, he may have told me what my common channel would be, but to be honest it was a lot to take in, my head was spinning...

I have noticed that there aren’t a lot of Greenbaum patients on these boards. He was recommended to me by another surgeon that did not do this revision surgery. I did meet with him and I liked him very much he spent quite some time with me. I had read on here that he is picky with his...

Sorry I didn’t clarify earlier, I am having RNY revision with Dr. Greenbaum

Hello!! I have been lurking on this site for quite a few months and have got a lot of interesting information on this board. It has made my decision for DS surgery a little bit easier. I was just approved for revision surgery by my insurance company last week. Dr's office just called me today...
