    I am finally home day one I told them before surgery no pain meds the anesthesiologist told me I needed it before they wheeled me back it messed me up for the rest of the day I am super sensitive to pain meds so I would get dizzy and feel faint if I set up. By 5:30 on day one that wore off that nite I had pretty bad gas pains but Tylenol 3 helped with that also mixed with phenagran and then I got to come home yesterday not having any problems taking in fluids or my broth and I seem to be able to drink almost normal sips don’t know how normal that is

    Surgery twin!!! I’m scheduled for 6/24 too! I’m 26, 5’3 started at 226 pounds currently 213... diagnosed with hypertension and mild sleep apnea! My doctor put me on a one week liquid diet that I’m starting next week. I’m so excited but trying not to obsess over the wait of insurance approval 😩
    I plan to check in tomorrow or Thursday on the status of the approval; it was sent to CareFirst BCBS MD on Friday 6/7. Best of luck to EVERYONE having surgery soon!!!
    We are nearly the same one week liquid diet for me as well and my date is the 25

    Hi. My reflux is gone! Pain killers usually make me nauseous, but I took Dilauded in the hospital, and since they were also giving me Zofran every 6 hours for nausea anyway I was fine. I needed the Dilauded while I was in the hospital for 2 nights/3 days.

    Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    They are only planning on keeping me one nite I hope I don’t get nauseous

    Our stats are almost identical, and I have been thinking of a bypass due to reflux also. What made you decide on the surgeon you chose?








    Thanks,




    Tracy Lane


    The surgeon I chose has high reviews and he was honest with me about the reflux he said most surgeons would probably just give me the sleeve I wanted but he was honest and told me what the risks were and didn’t advise it that’s why I went with him he actually cared about me

    @Janet G Burch and @grl499 Welcome to both of you. Grl499, you're a day before me and Janet is a day after. Mine is 6/15. The pre and post OP liquids aren't bad (once you find Protein Shakes you can actually stomach). Once you get past the first week or so of detoxing from all the carbs your energy will start to come back as you'll be in ketosis and your body burning fat for energy. Good luck to you both on this life changing journey.


    I have a problem with pain meds they tend to make me sick, who was your surgeon ?

    Just got home! Had RNY surgery yesterday. I couldn't be happier. No nausea, practically no pain, and am able to drink Water without difficulty. Apparently, I had a hiatal hernia that needed repairing, too.




    The only weird thing so far is that I can't burp intentionally like I used to in order to release air after drinking. I have to wait until my stomach decides the time is right, then it finally just happens. A little uncomfortable but certainly not worrisome.


    I hope that’s the way mine goes I have had a c section and a mini abdominal surgery and avoided painkillers they tend to make me sick hoping I don’t have a lot of pain either

    Welcome! June is the best group. Just sayin.
    I talked to admissions today because I got a z pack this morning for my throat. She said I should still plan on being there. As of now I go in at 9am tomorrow for 11:15 showtime. chicken or beef broth as my last meal? Maybe a couple popsicles. LOL. I was laughing at one of my last splurges at Olive Garden with a friend. I felt like I was eating like I was headed to the chair. LMAO
    You will do great update when you feel up to it I’m a bit nervous
