Most importantly at this stage is to stay in close contact with your surgeon. Your surgeon knows what is normal or not normal. Sometimes medical professionals see so many normal variations that they forget to tell their individual patients that everything is ok. Write down your symptoms and concerns before you see them tomorrow so you don't forget. By your post, it doesn't appear that your surgery went off without any hitches. Hang in there, do as your surgeon tells you. Get plenty of rest and stay as hydrated as you can, keep a cup of water in your hand at all times, it will remind you to take sips. 4 months later and I still get busy and forget my water. I too came down with a cold about 10 days post op, I rested and focused on getting in water and protein shakes. Have you started on vitamins yet? If not talk to your surgeon about when and what. It does get better, maybe a little longer for you with the added complications but you will get there and when you start seeing the weight come off, you won't remember these issues

After many years of research, plus I work in the medical field and had opportunities to discuss the RNY with several physicians, I decided against the RNY procedure due to the long term complications that can occur. About 8 months ago I learned of the gastric sleeve procedure. After researching it, I felt completely confident this was the procedure for me. I had my surgery Nov 17, 2015. I am down 56 pounds and counting. I am 100% happy with my decision. I, like many others, feel I will reach my goal weight and be happy. If you do not feel comfortable with the RNY, don't do it! This is a life altering surgery. My surgeon totally supported my decision on the sleeve procedure. I know it's not easy to be this far into the process to change your mind but, it is your life, your health and ultimately your decision. Do not settle, get a second opinion
