For those who lose hair, it usually starts at three to four months after surgery, and starts to thicken back about three months later. Don't worry, it always comes back. I hope you're right about the hair loss, mine started falling out by the handfuls, that might be a little over exaggerated, 2 months ago at 3 mos post-op,…

I don't take B-12, but I can tell you that taking any pills is difficult post surgery, at least for me. I still use Flintstones for my multi-vitamin, and was on chewable Calcium vitamins until 3 mos post-op when I was told to use the pill form instead. it has been a struggle for me to get them down ever since and I am now…

Sounds completely normal. I had gained 10 lbs while in the hospital, mostly due to all of the IV fluids they pump us with. I lost 18 lbs the first week, unfortunately that didn't continue! I was sore for about 2 weeks, but still had some soreness for another week after. I had a lot of gas pain too, but like others have…

I'm 2.5 weeks out from RNY myself and I was thinking constipation also, but I'm glad you called the dr's office to verify with them. I hate not knowing what's going on with my body and I'm just starting to figure some of the strange feelings and noises coming from my abdomen out. Good luck with the Gas ex!

Hi All! I just had RNY on 7/23. I've been on this site for a while, just never looked into the message boards until today. I'm looking forward to getting to know some people that are going through the same things I am. Please feel free to contact/add me so we can talk. :smile:

I had RNY Bypass on July 23rd. I'm still on liquid diet, so I can't help you with calories or such. My doctor's office gave me a list of what I can eat and how much, how often and that's that. Since surgery I've lost 23 lbs, I had gained 10 lbs while in the hospital from all of the IV fluids they were pumping into me. LOL…
