  3. Thanks that makes me feel good about my decision to only go down to 145lbs because the way I carry my weight I’ll probably look a 130lbs. I’ve also lost 32-inches all over in this 5 months.
  4. Hello BP pals my surgery date was 09-07/18 HW: 208; SW: 199.9; CW: 159; GW: was 136lbs but subject to change due to how I carry my weight I look thin now so maybe GW: will be 145lbs. Here are my progress pictures but still losing. The collage pics were from beginning to like the 3rd month and the single picture is two days old.

  8. Kbrigde , I had RNY 9/7/18 and four four weeks I suffered terrible issues with just a cap of water and so I called my doctor and by this time I was in tears because I mean a simple sip of water caused me terrible PAIN so they took me off of Pecid and put me on Omeperzol and I mean within minutes, I mean minutes of taking it 20-30 minutes I could sip water and eat without all that pain. I’m only taking it for 2 months but by then the doctor said my stomach should be ok. Maybe you can talk with your doctor about this, if they don’t think it’s anything else.

  10. So I’m 6-days post gastric bypass and wanted to know if everyone that has gotten the gastric bypass have had to get gallbladder removed yes or no.
  11. Oh thank you so much for you response I wasn't sure what this was I was getting ready to call the doctor's office but if its normal I will wait it out as I said its not unbearable, nothing that simple tylenol doesn't take care of for me.
  12. Hello everyone, so I made it to the loser's bench on 09/07/18 had a two night hospital stay and came home yesterday, Overall I feel ok other them this nagging lower right side back/waist pain is this normal for Bypass patients? P.S. I just started passing the flatulence pretty good today and still have a ways to go I think but thankful to be passing it because that really hurts.
  13. Yep walking like crazy nothing yet, but I do have some good news I was able to urinate a few minutes ago so no more catheter yay and I get to go home tomorrow.
  14. Bypass surgery was yesterday the 7th all went well just a little issue with urinating but, the doctor says it’s common but, it will get better, minimal pain no pain pump just a pill of Tordal if in pain. Overall it’s going well.

  22. Have you thought maybe it has nothing to do with your bypass.
