Good for the most part. Transitions are painful (rolling from back to side, sit to/from stand, sit to/from laying down. Shoulder pain gets less the more I pass gas (I have never been so excited to fart in my life [emoji1787])

I was released from the hospital the next day, which I was determined to do, however, it was nice that the nurses were there regulating when I needed to take my meds.

I recommend getting a belly band! I'm so glad I have mine I think it just keeps everything together nice and snug while you are recovering .

My parents are staying with me, which is awesome. Definitely have a good support system to come home to [emoji3]

Had my surgery on the 7th. Got out of the hospital yesterday morning. So far, pretty good. A few minor gas pains and sore shoulder, but nothing unbearable so far.

Wishing you all luck if your surgery is today or upcoming!

@aerick21 that’s awesome how are you feeling?

I'm new to this site/group, but I had my surgery on Feb 6th

Hello, my surgery is 2/15/2023! I just found this website today! Looking forward flying finding surgery buddies.

I am 2-15-23 congratulations 🎉

My surgery is tomorrow February 7th!!!

My surgery date is February 20th. I have pre existing blood clots and have to inject myself with Epogen. I am on the 2 week liquid diet now. I am not a bug eater to begin with and have done 30 day juice fasts so I am mentally prepared for the two weeks. It's the Epogen that is a doozie. I already have lupus and fibro and this medication makes my bones and muscles hurt and now.I have the chills. 2 doses down 10 to go!

So far it’s consist of Protein Drinks, Water and some veggies and some fruit. Doesn’t mention anything else and I feel like I am starving lol

You will be fine! I haven't had surgery yet, but I did have weight loss surgery before. I had lapband and it had to be removed in 2013 due to an abscess to the surgery I had to put the band back in place. But the after surgery wasn't bad, get up and walk to make sure you don't get blood clots, they usually give a shot in the stomach that helps prevent blood clots as well. When I had surgery before, I was so tired, I slept, got up walked around the hall and used my phone or their TV and fell asleep and repeat. Later that night I had nausea and I had that for 2 and a half months. So if you tend to get nausea, ask for something for that before going into surgery that day and if you have nausea after surgery, they will give you some nausea medicine.
Getting up and out of the bed was a little hard for me. I had someone help me out of the bed. Everyone is different. Some can get up easier than others. With lapband, I only had to stay over night. With bypass I'm staying 3 days. Your stomach/abdomen will be sore for about a week or so, depending.

Bring a pillow for the ride home! It really helps with any bumps along the way home!
Good luck!

You will get through it. What is your pre op like?

My preop starts Tuesday and I can't believe it's already here! It's coming quick. I prettyuch have everything I need now. What Soup broths does everyone like that has low sodium in it? Also what does everyone like for yogurt? I like the dannon light and fit. Oikos is close in nutrition facts, but a little better. They don't have as mamy different flavors tho

Anyone have the surgery yet? I'm so nervous about after surgery.

Me too! 👐

Hi my surgery is Feb 13th. I’m on preop diet and miss food already lol

Good luck to everyone who has surgeries feb 1st through the 3rd!

I have the same date how’s your liquid diet going I’ve been fine all day not really that hungry
