20 Hours Post Op...feel Good...will It Get Worse?



Recommended Posts

I'm 20 hours out! Im home and feeling pretty good considering I just had surgery! Everything went smoothly and now just walking lots to get rid of these gas pains. Really the only pains I have occasionally.

Those of you already banded, did you find first day was worst? I keep being afraid I feel too good and it will later get bad! Lol

Any tips for this first day? Have been trying to walk walk walk!

My first two days were great!! And the next 5 after that were really tough. It really depends on each individual person. Best of luck!!

I felt I had a pretty simple recovery as well. I was sore but I expected a lot worse. I'm sure everyone heals at different paces but mine was pretty good.

I'm glad to hear that all went well with your surgery and that so far you have had a good post op with discomforts. Hopefully, I will get Banded early August.

Sounds like you're doing great!! Day 3 and 4 were the bad days for me. Terrible gas cramps and left shoulder aching. It's all worth it though!!

My first 2 days were great. The next 4 days were up and down. Today I feel better Just a little nauseous but nothing to take medicine for. Overall it has been pretty good.

Days 3-5 were the absolute worst.

I had a really easy post-op experience. My worst was probably about a week to a week and a half out when the port area started hurting a bit. It wasn't bad, felt like a really bad bruise. I attributed it to the muscle healing around where the port was stitched in.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
