They're giving me morphine and toradol and also chewable gas x

I had gastric bypass about 12-14 hours ago. In alot of pain. Does anyone know how long the recovery time is? My dr says 4 weeks, but I've heard other people say 2.

Just wanted to let everyone know my surgery went great. In quite a bit of pain but I've already done a lap around the floor. Hopefully this will get me home faster!

I'm on day 7 and holding strong. Good luck to all of you and don't hesitate to message me if you need a shoulder to lean on. I wish I had someone for that.

I'm on day 5. Its actually alot easier than it was two days ago.

Yes, my husband is awesome. He is actually dieting with me so I won't be alone.

Thank you lol

Thank you all. I caved and ate like three bites of Hamburger Helper. I feel so guilty and ashamed of myself. I'm determined to make it to surgery day without another incident!!! Thank you for all the advice! And I'll definitely keep in mind that this is the worst part.

Hahaha I love it!

I'm on day 3 of my 2 week preop diet. The slightest smell of food is making me want to back out of surgery. I'm on 3-4 protein shakes and 3ozs of lean meat and a serving of veggies per day. I'm scheduled for gastric bypass on December 19th. I really need this surgery, but I'M STARVING! Any suggestions on how I can curb or ignore the hunger pains?

Bahahahaha I meant only issue!

I finally got a surgery date. My onoybissue is its December 19th. I have three kids (8,7, &5). Did anyone have issues moving around alot after surgery? I dont want to be stuck on the couch while my kids enjoy Christmas. I wanna be involved with them. Dont get me wrong I love finally having a date, just wish it was maybe a week earlier.

Thank you so much

I'm doing that as we speak. It's just such a life changing surgery and don't get me wrong, I'm definitely ready. I just dont have that great of a support system.

I'm getting more nervous as I near the end of the preop requirements. I'm done with everything my insurance requires to get a surgery date. I have my final consultation appointment on October 1st. I'll get a surgery date after that. My nerves are getting to me as this becomes "real."
