New To The Crew_Rny On 10-30-12



Recommended Posts

I just had the traditional bypass on 10-30-12. I am a 41 year old African American male from the Philadelphia area. The first three days since the surgery have been filled with adjustments and discomfort but I am still excited about the whole process. I'm on my way home. I'm sipping away. I started this journey over a year ago. I can't believe I followed through! Are there any other 10-30-12 folks out there?

Oct 15th, cool. You are well into the flow of this thng now. Special note: The first thing I noticed since i've come home is that the bed and chairs at the hospital were uncomfortable...I have not experienced the same discomfort since I've been home...(I was not on the regular recovery floor due to my sleep apnea.) It gave me the impression that the first few days after surgery are rough, but that may not be the case...I'm doing fine now!

I am new to the site today and I have no idea what I am doing! I had surgery on September 11th, but my recovery is very slow. I hope that this finds you in good spirits and you continue to feel better at the comfort of your own home.

When u say slow, what do you mean? Are you still experiencing some discomfort? You should be beyond liquids-only and consuming solid foods by now. I'm feeling pretty good. I took a nice little walk this morning. Everything is on schedule, I guess.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
