  1. I'm in the same boat as sugarcali had my RNY last Monday, and nothing I did call my Dr's office said not to be concerned yet but I can take stool softener pill or marilax , I did pill this morning passed gas but that's it

  3. I was the same way for this surgery, 3/21/16 although I did have 3 other bariatric surgeries, and didn't want this one I had to, so go in knowing that you have chosen what is considered the gold standard for for bariatrics, yes I'm sure it's your nerves making you feel blah' and great job on the pre op weight loss
  4. Congratulations to you

  15. I can't get the 100 ounces recommended by my Dr , I'm not feeling dehydrated , so it's a good thing
  16. sometimes some people go through the runs after surgery , and also we consume a lot of liquid,no hard foods, unfortunately you will know if it is dumping syndrome, you will feel week, dizzy your heart rate will increase sweating and some cramping and it last about half hour
  17. Had my by pass 3/21, I felt great yesterday, was able to do some cleaning, today not so good,my lungs hurt, but I do know this can happen from lying down to long,even those I have been using the air life breathing thingy, and my menstrual cycle started, at least my swelling is going down,
  18. Ohhhhh yes, the gases in my body from surgery are finally moving along, abdomen feels so much better
