Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

1st trip out today...had an emotional breakdown in the grocery store. Is that normal? Please tell me this goes away!

My surgery date is actually tomorrow. It originally was the tenth but got changed. I'm doing clear liquids today and the bowel prep and I'm starving! Not nervous yet... It'll eventually hit, I know it. Going to try to choke down this magnesium citrate now... Wish me luck!

Sending well wishes your way.

I understand how you feel 13th buddy! I am excited' date=' but at the same time I am numb to the whole thing. I think it hasn't set in that this is going down in two days! Keep your head up and I can't wait to start this journey with my buddies as so many other people already have and will very soon in the future!![/quote']

Hello journey buddy!! And yes...it's like I can't believe it's here and this is happening in 48 hrs we will both be there and probably post-op by then. I can't even think about it too much or I'll get panicky! Ahaha. Keep in touch with me and let me know how you're doing when you can and I'll do the same! ")

What happened msix? Just cause it was painful, cause you can't eat the food there? Awe! Praying for you, whatever the reason. I have heard that anesthesia itself causes some depression as it leaves your body. Between that and all the other major changes I would not think that this would be uncommon, but if it continues, I would def call you doc.

I have issues with panic, anxiety, and depression and I'm praying that this surgery doesn't knock me off my feet in that way because I've been doing so well. Anyways, if anyone has any mental health questions I also work in the field, do I'd be happy to share what I know. It isn't much, but I'd love to help anyway I can.

Hi everyone!

Im going on the 19th, and I we ould like to return to work on Dec 31st. What are your thoughts? Its 12 days. I know everyone is different, but do any of you feel like that could be possible?

One week after surgeries I cry at everything and get very depressed. Well today is one week since my rny and I'm crying a lot today and very down. It's from effects of anesthesia.

I am officially postop! I had my RNY 12/10 and so far on day 2 postop I am doing ok. In some pain, but not as bad as my c-section The gas pains are not fun, but I took your great advice and walked when I didn't want to and it made things feel better. I came home today which is good since the hospital was loud. I wish the rest of you the best with your upcoming surgeries! I am excited to be on the December train and excited for you to join me!

Any advice on where I can find a belly binder on the quick? My surgery is in less than 48 hours.

Any maternity stores carry them

Medical supply stores carry them too. They gave me one after my surgery. You could ask the nurse for one after too or ask if you can buy one from the hospital since they may stock them.

It would be possible. Do you have a sit down job or do you stand and move around? If it is a desk type job I think it would be possible, but if you are standing or moving around a lot I think it may be pushing it, then again I am only on day 2 so still have pain, maybe I will think different when I am further out.

Hey guys and girls I am getting sooo behind on the list of people who ,have, and haven't had the surgery yet would there be anyone who would be willing to take it over I'm just not able to right now I am just so worn out taking things day by day

Hello everyone I'm new to this I found this app yesterday..I had my surgery Wednesday the 5th.. I hope everyone is doing well
