Hi everyone. I'm 3 weeks and 5 days post op. I've had a bumpy journey so far. 2 days after surgery I was doing great. Ready for discharge.. And right when I got up to sign the release I dislocated my kneecap, chipped it, and tore the connecting ligaments and tendons. So I got to stay in the hospital an additional 3 days. The first week or so at home went fine.. No vomiting, I was able to transition to full liquids with no problem.. Then I went for my 2 week check up. The surgeon said I looked great.. 25 pounds lighter, I felt awesome. As soon as I got home from the appointment everything changed. I started vomiting after every meal. But I could hold down milk and water.. So I was fine with it. I had a few bites of yogurt here and there.. And that was ok. All until yesterday. I can no longer eat or drink anything. Not even ice chips.. So what should I do? I haven't slept from the constant vomiting. I'm scared that I might of developed a stricture.. Even though I know it usually takes 4 weeks. Any advice?

Hey everyone! New here I am getting ready to go to my pre-op class for gastric bypass surgery! I have a surgery date of November 17th, and I am super excited, but also a little nervous.. Does anyone else on here have a November surgery date? Maybe we could help each other prepare for what lies ahead

That's great! It is very exciting. I haven't really been nervous yet, I'm hoping it won't all hit me right before they put me to sleep. Lol.

That's great bluedreams86! what do you have to do for your pre-op? I just got back from my class a few hours ago.

I'm scheduled for November 17th if love to be a part of your support group. I hope that this weight loss journey will help you to do all of the things you and your husband dreamed to do in life!

That's awesome!

I'm so glad to hear that there are others going through this at the same time. I'm sure our fears will go away soon after the surgery when the weight starts to fall off! Keep me posted about your future success please! I'd love to hear about it!
