I had my RNY on 8/23 and my biggest complaint is my belly pain Any time I move it feels like the inside stitches are pulling. I've been walking around and drinking, took some GasX. Does anyone have other suggestions?

My surgery is tomorrow too. Good luck to you! It is normal to be nervous but we will come out on the other side healthier and happy we made this decision. Prayers to you tomorrow.

My surgery is Wednesday and I found the Gas X strips at Walgreens.

I had to do the same requirements that I did for sleeve, psych consult, EGD, 3 mo monitored diet. If I had it to do over I would have gotten the bypass as it has better results and it is the gold standard.

I had gastric sleeve in 10/2013 and even with following the diet plan I still felt hungry, cravings don't go away and the sleeve allows slider foods and sweets to go down without complications and I now have GERD. I lost 63 lbs of the 100 lbs I needed to lose and have slowly been creeping back up. I am in the beginning stages of having a sleeve to bypass revision. Only you know what's best for your situation but I just wanted to share my experience. Good luck.

I'm starting the process with Gastric Sleeve to RNY conversion. If I knew in 2013 what I know now about the sleeve I would have went with RNY to begin with but here I am. Hoping to have my revision in April/May 2017. My insurance requires all the original criteria including 3 mo of nutrition counseling. Anyone else have sleeve to RNY? Would love to have someone to talk to. Thanks.

I'm 2 weeks post op RNY and I'm supposed to be on pureed but I can't handle solid food it causes nausea really bad. Even some fluids cause nausea. I'm supposed to return to work in a week and I don't know how I'm going to do it.
