    That is absolutely fantastic!!! I am so, so happy for you. I had my bypass June 30th, 2021, & I'm hoping to resolve my severe sleep apnea & increase mobility again. May we both be blessed with many healthy successes in the years to come. 💪💖🤗

    I'm four days out from the surgery & I have recurring, terrible pain in the upper left abdomen. I did some research & learned that it's at this incisional site that most of the physical manipulating of surgery is carried out & also where the largest stitching takes place to guard against a future hernia. The fascia in particular are bruised & injured in the process. Pain here is normal & can radiate to the shoulder &/or neck. Tylenol will help to a degree & the pain will resolve within a few weeks. It can be worse at night when we're sleeping because we're unconsciously moving & tossing our bodies as though everything's normal. I wish you a full & speedy recovery & really hope the pain diminishes soon. 💖 PS: I'm in Montreal, Quebec. Which province are you in, if I may ask?

    I'm sorry to hear you're still struggling a little. I hope your recovery continues speedily & that you feel better shortly. I had my bypass 2 days ago & am feeling pretty good, just a little sore & very tired from not sleeping at the hospital. Please just keep taking good care of yourself & resting as much as possible. And keep hydrated above all. Let us know how you're doing when you're up to it. You're in my thoughts & prayers for full healing & a wonderful, healthy, transformative year.🤗

    My bypass on June 30th went very well & I returned home a day later. I'm catching up on sleep & doing my homework: staying hydrated, walking, doing the breathing exercises & getting in some protein. The staff at the hospital were wonderful, very reassuring & caring, & now that my gas pain is dissipating, I only have a little soreness in the the upper abdomen which is easily kept at bay with Tylenol. If you have an upcoming surgery, please know that it's been much easier than I anticipated. Blessings to you for a wonderful weekend & journey.

    I'm home & doing really well, thank you! I'm so excited for your surgery in August. It'll be fine, I'm sure. Things went so much more smoothly than I could have imagined. If you have questions, I'm going to host a livestream on my YouTube channel this Sunday at 3pm EST or you can just send me messages. I'll be happy to reassure you. Here's my short update & link to my channel:

    Thank you so, so much. I'm home & resting & it's wonderful!
  12. Returned home yesterday after one pretty sleepless night in the hospital (those beds, ugh!) & am doing really well. The bypass was a success & I still have my gallbladder. My blood work, blood pressure, urine output, oxygenation & blood glucose were all good so I'm home & catching up on sleep.

    Between extended naps, I'm hydrating, walking, doing calf raises & my breathing exercises & getting in some protein.

    The gas pain from the surgery is finally subsiding & I'll be starting my vitamins & meds tomorrow & start upping my protein, too.

    Please know, they take great care of you after your surgery & the gas pain usually comes in short bursts & can be made better by walking & doing the breathing exercises. If you're having the surgery soon, please know you will be okay & will recover pretty quickly, too, if you don't have any complications, which are pretty rare.

    Wishing everyone a blessed weekend.

    If you have any questions, please know I'll be hosting a livestream on my YouTube channel this Sunday, July 4th at 3pm EST if you want to come by to hear of the experience from pre-op testing to coming home. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Here's a link to my short update & channel:

      Hi, Candace! I linked a very short update just so people could find my channel. I was hoping to do an informative livestream today with Q & A but I'm still so tired.

      I will have a livestream next Sunday, July 11th at 3pm EST where I'll go over everything from pre-op appointments to the day of surgery & going home if you want to join me.

      I'm sorry for the confusion but I will share all the info soon; I just need more sleep & rest than I realized. That said, all is going very well. Take good care, Candace!
