Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I have a few questions but each one is on a different subject so I am going to send 3 or 4 emails to keep them separate and keep the replies separate. It seems when people send long emails, all of the questions don't get answered probably because of the length of the email. Apologies in advance for the extra emails. Outside of the regular blood work, are there any other tests that proximal RNY'ers need other than the bone scan? I am doing the blood work regularly and am going to get the bone scan done later. Is there anything else I need to keep an eye on? Also, I know this is going to sound dumber than dumb but I am transected and assume that I cannot get a Staple line disruption because of the transection. I specifically made sure with my surgeon in advance to see if he transected because I had heard so much about SLD and wanted to avoid it. I have seen some posts around that indicate I could have SLD even though I had been transected. ?? Is this true? R in Nashville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 OK, you slid 2 questions in there. The only other test that's been done unto me is calcium related. " pee-in-the-jug test " . Not unpleasant, just confining. If your serum calcium & dexascans are fine, then you probably would not need to do this. Personally, it appears that I can take calcium every 5 minutes and it will go out the other way. That is patently unfair. LOL! But that is being treated. ******** You would not have SLD in the same sense of the word that us originally non-transected types would. No. BUT there is the fistula issue. I have not had one, but there are 3-4-5 people on this list who have. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
