Underwent RNY Gastric Bypass yesterday at 1PM.

Woke up with 6 lap sites (I thought it would be 4-5 wondering who else can post their amount).

Was in a lot of pain in recovery where they gave me 0.5mg Dilaudid once and then a 5mg Oxycodone when I arrived to my room and was still in a little discomfort.

Even with scheduled Tylenol and Gabapentin the pain, although tolerable, does keep me up from sleep.

Been eating ice chips and had 3 sugar free popsicles.

Up and walking like a champ through the hallways as I’m bored and am unable to have visitors at this time.

I guess my question to anyone reading this is: is my experience Expected and typical?

I have my last nutritional appointment Thursday, but called the office to make sure my coordinator had everything she needs. She went ahead and gave me a surgery date of July 14th!!!! Hope it sticks, since my insurance hasn't even been filed yet, but she sounded confident and said I'll need to start my preop diet on 6/30th. So excited!!

Surgery twins!!!

I found out Friday that my date is July 15. It feels like things just got real as I had to do 6 months with a nutritionist and I’ve kind of been putting it out of my mind. Now it’s real and a little scary and a lot exciting!

Amy - CONGRATS! I think what you are feeling is completely normal.

I am July 14th. Please feel free to DM me - I am in need of preop buddies for support!

Emily - I feel the same way!!! My RNYGB is scheduled for July 14th.

I too am an RN - though I won't be telling any of my assigned nurses that while I'm in the hospital. Curious to know if you'd take that same stance?

Congrats to you, though! If you'd like to DM me, I could really use a support buddy. Curious to know which surgery you'll he undergoing as well.
