My Journey So Far....



Recommended Posts

Hello All!

My name is Lynetta. I am 31 year old mother of 2. I had the RNY gastric bypass on 6/22/12 so far the road has been rocky and I'm still waiting for the moment I am sure will come where I will say it was all worth it or I will do it all again.

Since my surgery I have been back and forth to the hospital almost every week with severe pain and dehydration being some of my previous diagnosis. A week ago I told my Dr. that I was unable to keep down any food and whatever I managed to get down came up. I was admitted to ER to find out I have an ulcer and a few days later had to have my gallbladder removed. So I have been officially home for 5 days now and just trying to deal with these issues on my own to avoid going back to the hospital.

I found this app on my phone and you

seem very encouraging and believe me I could use all I could get right now.

I can't eat or drink, and I am very unhappy right now. Everything has become a task for

me eating, drinking, moving. I don't know when I will feel like my old self or even a new motivated self.

I would appreciate any positive feedback to get me on the right track.

Thanks

I sure hope you get to feeling better. What issues did you have prior to surgery that are affecting you now?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
