Start walking as soon as you feel you are able. You might want to trying sitting up in bed with your feetl off the side to see if you can tolerate sitting up first. The nurses should be able to assist you in walking if you feel you are able to do so.

No, you should be walking right now. They had me up and walking half an hour after I returned from post-op. You gotta get moving.

Ask them again to take you for a walk. She is probably just busy and doesn't want to take the time. Insist someone take you.

A nursing assistant can also help you walk - they just don't want you to fall. It's usually just the first time out of bed. I got up as soon as possible - can't remember how many hours after surgery. Once they helped me to the bathroom the first time, I was able to walk in the hall.

I was up right away too. As soon as they wheeled me into my room i jumped up and put my clothes back on.! A little too hastily as I broke my iv thingy in my hand, thank the lord for pain meds. I rested for a few after that but was up and walking up and down the halls whenever I woke. I would definitely harass someone to let me walk if i wasn't able to do it on my own. Its important to move to help prevent blood clots. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thank you guys! Yea I asked a different nurse and she sure helped me. Wow I feel so relief now. The only pain I have is a small bit of gas in my stomach and my incisions which are very small. Will keep you posted. I can't drink anything past 11pm being that they are doing some tests in the morning. Thank you once again.

      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?
