I had an umbilical hernia repaired September 2014. I had gastric bypass surgery done on 12/21/16. My surgeon only expressed concern about scar tissue surrounding the Hernia repair. There were no issues during the surgery. You should be fine! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I did a sleep study and the consultant was booked out until jan. I did it in November. They want that appointment to happen before my surgery! Ugh! Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Maybe keep calling them to see if they have any cancellations? You may be able to get in sooner! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I had orientation in April and my surgery was on 12/21/16. I had 6 months of required classes that I had to take, plus all of the consults. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

You will have plenty of recovery time in order to watch her play. I had RNY on 12/21. I was out Christmas shopping on 12/24....Good luck! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Good job! Keep moving forward. You will get to your surgery date before you know it! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I decided to go with the Bypass. I don't have a good reason for going with the Bypass over the sleeve....except that I know a few people who got sleeved and weren't successful. It has to do with following the program that your surgeon has laid out for you. And...I don't want to have to go through another surgery again. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I have been diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks....for years. I am medicated for both. And doing quite well. I was approved...you shouldn't have any problems getting approved. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I am 12 days post op and still have pain on my right side from the incisions. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

3 weeks. I work in HR and have a desk job, but my surgeon was adamant about taking the full 3 weeks to recover. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

How did it go?!?! I am very curious cause I am 4 days into my full liquids stage... Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

RNY on 12/21. Surgery lasted approximately 1.5 hours. They reserved the room for 3. Only needed to spend 1 night in the hospital. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I am also one week post op RNY. I was provided Oxycodone. I took 1 pill every 4 hours at first. Now, I take 1 pill every 6-8 hours. I have 4 pills left. I also share your concern. But, I think I will be fine with the transition to Tylenol for pain relief. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I am Day 5 post op...and quite new to these terms. If I may ask, what is a "slider?" Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I am questioning my lack of bowel movements. I am 4 days post op. I am on a clear liquid diet....water, Jello, broth. NO Protein. I have NOT had a bowel movement since surgery. Should I have? I am kind of worried about this. I started miralax this morning to see if I can help get things going. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I don't know! But I hope soon! I still have pain from the incisions. I can't wait to be able to get out of bed without the pain! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Thank you! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Me too! I am on Clear liquids until 12/26. Then I move to full liquids for 14 days. It's not until day 20 until I am able to eat soft foods! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations! I am 3 days post op. I am on a clear liquid diet until Tuesday. Then I go to a "full" liquid diet for 14 days. My cupboards are stocked with baby food, V8, sugar free pudding, creamy Soups, and cream of wheat! Can't wait!???? I have lost 5 pounds since I have been home. Went out Christmas shopping today and made some Christmas Cookies for my family today! Feeling better each day. Continue to work through each day. We will be fine and can do this!!! Merry Christmas!

I came home today after RNY on 12/21/16. Sipping Water and walking. That is my plan for the next several days until I can start full liquids. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Had my GB surgery today! Everything went as expected. No drainage tubes. Gas is not bothering me. Some congestion from being intubated. Walking the halls. Here's to a speedy recovery and a seat on the losers bench! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Good luck. My surgery is today also...at 9. I am very scard this morning. Not about what is to follow the procedure, but the actual surgery itself. I keep going over the pros and cons in my head. And I get so excited for the pros. I can't wait to sit on the loser bench. We got this! Hw 273 Cw 232 Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
