    I went to my first post op check in and am excited that already I am able to get rid of Metformin. My glucose level is all normal and Im 30 pounds down. Im so encouraged by the way my body is responding to the surgery. Working on my energy level but just thankful for the wonderful advice I've gotten here as a "lurker" and for this surgery. I feel hopeful about my health and more in control of my destiny then ever before.

    My bypass is also Feb. 27th. I've been thinking about doing this for so many years and now I'm just ready to get this done!! I have to do a liquid diet on Monday. I was talking to a friend about her bypass that she had 15 years ago. Boy!! Have things changed! She knew nothing about the amounts of Vitamins and minerals she needs to maintain her health!

    When you wake up you are pretty woozy. I can’t really remember much until the next day. Not really even who visited!
    It wasn’t too sore but you have meds if needed. Mostly they want you to sip Water and your insides are swollen so it is hard - but it gets better pretty quickly.
    Day 2 was a bit tender. People with laparoscopic surgery often get gas pain - the surgeons use air blown inside you to separate your organs. Until your body absorbs this it causes odd pains - getting up and walking slowly about is the key to sorting that.
    Anticipate anxiety - maybe even thinking about cancelling - as it gets closer. Many of us think that - but it passes and you join us back here, on the losers’ bench!

    I had some intense heart burn type pain for about an hour ... but it goes away- likely just gas from surgery.

    Slept for a solid amount of time. Near no pain at all (had laparoscopic bypass), only a bit when sleeping bc i couldn’t sleep on side yet. Movement was fine and back to work easily within a week and that was only to get eating habits in line

    Best decision ever— no regrets and nothing too big to worry about at all

    Officially post op RNY gastric bypass 2/7/18. All of you will do great. I start my purée diet on Wednesday 2/14 and I am looking forward to it. Been on liquids since February 4th. I could not imagine people that do liquid diets weeks in advance or a month prior. Good luck to all. For me, I still have gas post surgery despite walking. So be prepared for a lot of gas although I hope you all get lucky with no gas pain !!!! Lol....... as of now, my only struggle is getting all my Protein and liquid in , but I am working hard on it. I refuse to get on the scale until I see my doctor on Thursday, but below are STATs as of surgery date.

    Ht: 5’6”
    HW- 298lbs
    SW- 260lbs
    CW- N/A

    1 week liquid diet down! Yeah, baby!!!! That's what I'm talkin' about!
    I have my hospital pre-op interview on Tuesday and the last surgeon's pre-op visit on Thursday. I'm a bit nervous cuz I haven't received the letter of approval from my insurance company yet. But, the doc's office says they have the approval from the insurance and that's why they were able to move forward? I guess I will call the hospital again on Monday and see if they've gotten the hospital stuff approved. Then will call insurance to see if they can email a copy of my approval letter. Don't know why I'm such a wuss about talking to them.
