Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to let you all know that my RNY revision to DS went very well on Monday with Dr. Ayoola. I was in surgery a little while longer than what we had anticipated and that was due to the amount of scar tissue that I've developed from the two previous procedures I've had done years ago as a way to prevent the constant dumping. Dr. Ayoola said that he was very pleased with the outcome and expects me to make a full recovery. He said a lot more, that I can't recall right now 4 days post op, but I when I go in for my check up I will ask for more details, limb measurements etc.
This is my 2nd morning home and sleeping in a recliner, with my husband by my side on the sofa. I didn't realize the effect that this would have on my husband, but I see now the worry and fear that he went through while he waited for me to emerge from surgery after 5hrs. He's been VERY supportive and I am thanking God for him constantly.
Ok--- now I need help.... I've begun drinking the protein shakes and was doing quite well with my 30ml sips every 15min, until the extremely painful lactose intolerant gas pains kicked in. My husband and I arrived at GNC last night 5 minutes after the store closed in search of Milk Free Whey Protein. The very kind store employee unlocked the door, listened to me and said that such a thing exists but couldn't sell it to me after store hours. I also have an appointment this morning to have my drained pulled within the next 4hrs, so I will bring this urgent problem up to the staff, but I am also asking for advice here from those who have been down this road.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Yvonne
