I had surgery on the 7/11 and was supposed to have my post op on 7/19 but didn't make it cuz I ended up back in hospital.. But long story short I had it today so a little over two weeks.. But I'm down 27lbs.. I notice it in my legs and arms and face but barely in my stomach area even tho I notice it in the way my clothes fit.. Regardless I'm so happy I made the right decision!! Thanks everyone on here for helping me with my journey along the way!!

The pain sucks in the beginning but I promise it will get better! You've got this!
Keep sipping that water!

VERY! But by day 3 and the pain not moving I was begging for him to do something... my parents are both nurses and they suggested it... not saying it was comfortable but the pain was worth the relief ???? Sent from my SM-G900F using the BariatricPal App

Heating pad helps for gas pain
I had my revision from band to bypass on May 13th, having a tough recovery as I had complications but I trust it does get better. Hang in there

Hey there- I'm so sorry to hear you don't feel good right now. I had a revision from a brand to a sleeve (had sleeve for 6 years) and am doing great almost 6 weeks out. Other than the restriction and the small scars I never would have known I had surgery.
I can promise you this does get much better!!!
Remember you just had major surgery so go easy right now. The gas pains are the worst but the sooner you can get up and move around the better.
Read some of the veteran posts here for inspiration and to see what you have to look forward to. This part is the worst but every day you will heal and every day you will feel a bit better. In a few weeks you will shake your head when you think of saying you regret this- because you won't.
Follow your teams directions, take care and keep us posted.

One of the individuals in our Bariatric Surgery Support Group meeting went from a lap band to RNY gastric bypass revision. His band started to wear into his stomach and it became a life-threatening situation for him. He was pleased with his revision. Lost a lot of weight. I think they made his pouch a little smaller than most because of the scaring from the band removal. As a result he was not able to eat as much as most RNY patients. But that did not bother him.
He lost a lot more weight with RNY than with the band.

I want to improve my spinal stenosis and be able to walk without pain. To be able to just walk 500 feet. Then imagine a mile.
