BYPASS is best option

I finally had my surgery on 6/24, (postponed from 4/1, thank u Covid). This surgery went 100000 times better then, then my first surgery in 11/2016 w the sleeve. I had a completely different doctor, hospital staff & support system thru my doctors office, this time. I woke up w achey pain, nothing to severe. The incision where they went in for the hernia and a lower right abdomen one were kinda sore, but nothing Ice packs couldn’t help. Came home the next day, & still nothing to severe pain wise to use anything higher then Tylenol. I’m nervous, to get over the recovery period and on to losing weight. (The sleeve was a fail for me and only lost 40lbs on it). But also excited and ready for this next chapter & life style change. :)

Ur welcome. That’s good that your starting to feel better. The tubes are what I’m worried about. 😳idk y. My mom had drainage tubes when she had surgery and they grossed me out, so that probably why & what’s making me the most nervous.

I hope you feel better soon. Hang in there, it takes time to get better. 🙂
I hv my revision on June 24, and I’m starting to get kinda nervous. I have a hiatal hernia to hv fixed and then gastric bypass. Do they put drainage tubes in ur stomach for a revision?

Good Luck. I’m still on the fence but my situation is unique. Had a bypass 27 years ago and reversed it 5 months after due to malabsorption issues. I literally had a nervous breakdown. I was 345 at the start and 250 at reversal. I’m now 275, 5 ft 8 and 54 years old. Doc says I have a mass in my stomach from PPIs and a 10cm Hiatel hernia which is super large...he says bypass only option To fix all but I don’t want it. I’m so scared and feel like no one can help. Want to lose weight on my own, just lost 40 lbs. but even if I do, the hiatel hernia need to be fixed and Nissen Fundoplication I hear is not 100%. Can’t believe my predicament.

Hope all goes well guys had my RNY BYPASS over 6 months ago best decision ever

My surgery date was 4/1. But I just got my new date 6/24. Hoping it doesn’t get changed again. 🤞

I had my info data breached off there last year. So I’m alittle nervous about using that one again.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful replies. Helps give me some context and some new things to think about.

Yes.... mine was suppose to be April 1st. But I’d rather be safe.
