Aniusti got a reaction from Lacunn711 in 3 Weeks Post-op
I am 3 weeks post op for my gastric bypass. My surgery was on 1/8/14. I had a great experience, no adverse side effects at all (except soreness, of course!). I was off pain meds within a week and have felt so great I think to myself, "did I really just do that?"
I primarily did the surgery because i am a diabetic with no complications. My mom is on dialysis and is blind from the disease and my sister (1 year younger than me) had a pacemaker at the age of 37 because of this dreadful disease. I am so pleased - i have not had any diabetic meds since i left the hospital and my sugars are perfect! I have lost 25 pounds already, even though I have not yet been cleared for normal activity by my surgeon (hopefully that will be this week). I am anxious to get on with my plan and move forward!
I hope that those of you who are still in the process take heart that there are a lot of us who had a great, complication-free experience out here. I have found that with this surgery, as with pregnancy, people just feel the need to tell you every horror story they have ever heard. I'm not sure why that is...
