please! Can someone help sq?????? Re: adhesion complications & diabetes

[Guest guest]

Hi, I posted to this group several months ago asking if anyone had a

full tummy tuck and wondering what to expect with the muscles

stretching. I never got a response, so i'm hoping to see if there is

anyone out there since then who can answer my questions.

I'm having weird, rather bad cramping types pains in my lower

abdomen. My OB thinks it's from adhesions and scaring in addition to

just stretching related to the tummy tuck. His only advice was a

heating pad, massage, and a prescription for tylenol w/codeine.

My other new complication is gestastional diabetes. The dietition put

me on an 1800 cal diet. It's alomst like weight watchers where i

choose so many carb options at each meal...3 meals and 3 snacks a

day. Do they realize how much food that is for a gastric bypass

patient? I am now dumping on approx 90% of all meals. The dietition

said she has never heard of that and i'm also the first wls patient

to come back after surgery w/ gestational diabetes. Since the

national baritric conference is next week, she's ask around, but

until then i could use some advice and support. Thanks! I'm 3yrs post

op and this is my first child.
