Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Tess, Boy I really don't envy all that you have gone through already.....I am glad that you are feeling well enough to write. Well I do have another question that you might be able to answer for me though. If you do go ahead with the gastric bypass will the meds that you can be on ( or anyone else for that matter) for the Ra give a person more problems with stomach upset then they can normally be prone to? Since they staple off a portion of the stomach in the bypass and now you would have less surface area to deal with. I do hope that you understand what I am trying to ask here with the crazy way that I've written this question. I do hope that you do well with all that's ahead of you and that you have a pain free weekend. Barb > I just had a tonsillectomy, uppp, septoplasty & sinus...? - can't > remember the name.
