All done and on the morning of my second day. Pain did not hurt around incision but my lower cut hit but that is probably the anesthesia which I had a heck of a getting over. Gas pains do come and go. Doing sips of Water but this morning I will be trying broths and stuff. I am not hungry or anything. Anyway good luck to the rest of the April sleevers

Congraulations on your new journey

YOU DID IT!! YOU MADE IT!! and you sly dog, lost 22 lbs in the past two weeks!! that is amazing. congrats. Sorry to hear about the gall bladder but good that you didnt have to have another surgery or pass the stones. that would have been AWFUL.
Glad to hear no gas pain - I was not so lucky - but it has subsided now. And man! Constipation to diahhrea in record time was quite the intense experience. I'm just glad to be on the other side.
Did they show you a pic of your stomach? Makes me nauseated just remembering. Hope you are home? and resting. Keep me posted!

Cass, who did your surgery?
I'm glad you're doing well and can't wait to hear how you're doing. Mine is tomorrow with Ponce Bariatrics.

CONGRATULATIONS!! This is your new life Birthday.

Hey! I'm in Moses Lake.[emoji106] Surgery Znext Tuesday. 05/02.[emoji51]

I had MGB surgery on 4/10/17 and am doing pretty good. Right when I woke up in recovery I was in a lot of pain but they gave me good meds for it. I didn't really have any gas pain so I was lucky there.
I did better with getting fluids in at first but last week was a challenge. I think I'm doing better this week but I don't have much of an appetite so I have to remind myself to eat, which is mainly puréed Soup and yogurt.
I'm so glad I had this surgery. All my worry beforehand was for naught.
Good luck my fellow April surgical compadres!

This is the hardest obstacle I've ever tackled next to parenting, but I think I got this.

I hope you feel better soon

Best wishes and hope you're feeling better today.

I'm having surgery tomorrow 4/25. I'm not too nervous. But i can't sleep. I got my bag packed. I'm ready for it to be over with.. I will write as soon as I feel up to it..

Had surgery at 10am this morning. Feeling surprisingly great. I feel like I had nothing done. No gas until I started walking. What's up with that? Well we did it. I'm really looking forward to this new start in my life. Let's do it April sleevers!

Good luck!! I am on Thursday the 27th. I'm on spring break right now and have no shifts scheduled. I got back May 4th. I hope I gave myself enough time.

Just do what your doc says - drink your ounce of water/liquids every fifteen minutes while you are awake, move around as much as possible, take naps when you can, have sugar free popsicles on hand and be sure to take your anti-nausea medication every four hours. AKA do what your doc says and hopefully you should do well.

My surgery is Saturday April 29th! Im so excited but omg I am SOOO nervous!!! I opted for a saturday surgery so I don't have to miss the extra work. Luckily I have a light duty management job so I sit behind a computer all day.

Lost most of the hospital weight I gained on IV fluids.
And Day 4 I don't really feel like I need any pain meds anymore.
As expected 4 days out it's mostly just a struggle to get an adequate amount of Protein and Vitamins. I sort of modified my plan since I have 2 doses of medication per day to add to the 3 doses of Calcium separated with the MV and Iron all independently.

Yay I'm excited for everyone and hope they go well and went well. Going on 4th week post op!!!
