I'm 3 days post op. Hospital and doctors were great (Inova, Va). The On- Q pain pump has ready numbed the incision sites and medication has effectively controlled internal pain. The doctor also corrected a hiatal hernia which has added some mild discomfort to the chest area. All in, the recovery is much better that I expected.

I'm in Northern California and I'm having RNY on the 28th.

Mine is Thursday, I'm very zen about it, but that could be the 2 week pre-op diet talking.

I live 20 miles west of portland.

Sure. I was only taking Protonix prior to surgery. Came home with Protonix, ondansetron for nausia, Lovenox for blood clots, carafate(coats stomach), then I also have a scar cream and lidocain lotion for pain.

I did it!!! Gastric Bypass was done yesterday morning. Spent last night in hospital and tonight I'm in my own bed. I won't lie, there is some pain but seems to be well managed with meds. Getting in and out of bed is the worst! Any movement hurts but today it is better than yesterday and I'm hopeful that continues. I passed swallow test and was told that if I tolerate clears tomorrow I can add shakes to full liquid diet.

I realized I put my date wrong mines 9-14 and I'm a ways away I'm in Molalla, OR! Near Portland

My surgery date isn't until July 25th.

Surgery will be August or September at this point. I'm leaning towards RNY.

Hi there everyone! I'm new here and also hoping for a summer date. I meet with my surgeon again in July...hoping for an August date. My 40th birthday is August 9 and I can't think of a better birthday present to myself.

I'm having the sleeve. I've had family members who have had it with great success.

I am having the ryn ... may sound crazy but I want the greater Weightloss percentage and the healthy fear of dumping ... hoping that Vitamins are my saving grace when it comes to malnutrition ... you need to do what you are most comfortable with ... please refresh my memory, when is your surgery?

I just got my date. June 20th.

I'll be completing my supervised 6 month diet in June. I'm hoping to have my surgery in July or August before my kids go back to school. I'll be meeting my surgeon for the first time on Feb. 16th. I'm excited but also nervous about the upcoming appointment

June 15th for me.. I would love to be a Summer Buddy

I'm looking at early August. I'm in the process of getting things done during the 6 months required by my insurance and getting new habits lined up. I lost 5 pounds from appt 1 to appt 2, and I asked if there was an amount I need/should lose during this time. She said, a pound a week would be a good place to start. So far, so good!

My last appointment is May 18th. Hoping for surgery by the beginning of June!

I'm hoping for August as that's the earliest my insurance will allow however I'm still waiting on a call on the referral to even get the process started.
