How do you feel 3 months out



Recommended Posts

I am going to have my surgery in 6 weeks they are telling me. I have a cruise that is already paid for. Its the beginning of October. I am wondering if 3 months is going to be long enough for me to recover and get going with everything. I really could use some of you to chime in and tell me how it was for you after 3 months post op

Three months out all was well!

Don't buy clothes until day before you leave ;) I switch clothes sizes every few weeks it seems!

Thank you so much.... You all have set my mind at ease. I have been sitting here freaking out thinking i better call them and say never mind i will do it this fall. I really don't want to wait but i don't want to be sick and miserable on my trip. My cruise is Hawaii October 4th :-)

You will be fine by then. I was released to all foods at 6 weeks out. So you will enjoy the food also. We are cruising around the hawaian islands in sep for our 45 anniversary. Am really looking forward to it.

I am four weeks out today and feel great. I can eat anything and have never thrown up. I think the hardest part was just being tired afterwards. Not much pain. I hope you have a good time with your family on the cruise. Sounds like a lot of fun.

I am at 2.5 months and have lost 51 lbs. I can eat what I want and work out how I want. You shouldn't worry about it. Just follow the program to lessen your chances for complications.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
