kidney and liver concerns addressed:
The biggest complication immediately following RNY WLS is dehydration and kidney stones. That is FACT! So what do we do?????? Sip, sip, sip, sip and always keep our water bottles, ice chips and SF popsicles near to make sure we are getting the fluids in. That is the reason we are on a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks beofre trying new foods, even though people feel like they can start soft food sooner, it is insurance that we will not become dehydrated.
So if anyone of reading this post is confused, scared or intrigued by what the poster said, now you have the answer. i dont have a RN or a MD, but I do have the education about WLS.

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug
"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
