Surgery Was Yesterday Aug 6



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery yesterday, Aug 6 at 10am. Woke up ok, with pain and pressure in my chest. Surgery itself went well. Fighting bad gas pain, but tolerable. Pain meds an gas x on board. Ok so far!

While sitting up, my husband would tap on my back, starting at the bottom & work his way up. I would burp alot, then would be good for about an hour or so. The only discomfort I had was from the gas & this really helped.

Congrats and good luck! I had mine 7/31. WALK! That's the best advice I can give for gas.

I was sleeved on Aug 6th also. I got home this morning. Pain isn't too bad except gas, which comes and goes. Walked to the mailbox and that helped move the gas along. I was just able to eat about an oz of greek yogurt! Good luck everyone!

Good morning everyone. I also had my surgery Aug 6th @ 4:30-6:30. I came home Aug 7th around 6. This gas does not play.

Awesome! I'm on day 9 and week 2 is SO much better than week 1. Just sip all day and rest and week 1 will be over before you know it.

I'm curious about the gas. Are we talking gas, like stomach gas, which passes out your mouth? Or the other end? Or are we talking gas because they filled your internal cavity with it to make room for the surgery? In which case, how does it come out? Can't imagined GasX would help that.

Either way I'm jealous that you're done and wish you luck!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
