April Dates



Recommended Posts

I don't know about you but my feet, ankles and legs swell so bad. I wonder if any of you have this problem and if after the surgery the swelling went down?

Surgery date 4/18/13 @ 7:30 am

So, did any one elses surgeon try to get them to change from RNY to the sleeve? My doctor seemed quite persistent, though said the choice was mine, and it didn't seem to bother him that I choose the RNY. He kept going on about doing a fabulous single incesion through the belly button, but seriously, I have a road-map on my stomach from 3 pregnancies, so regardless of how much weight I lose, I will never be showing my bare stomach in public. I am wondering if maybe he just wanted more practice doing the single incesion, lol.

No...in fact he recommended against the sleeve for me and suggested RNY

Ok so i think my dr is checking to see if i will have a heart attack or to make sure i REALLY want the bypass ...after being devastated crying hysterical running out the door with my 2 yr old to drive an hr away to see him he agrees now to do tge surgery on tuesday i guess it was a miscommunication with his staff and the pulmonologist office

Glad it worked out

I haven't eaten anything yet. Just not hungry. I'm passing so much Fluid in my drains right now, and barely passed any urine this morning. That was the first time passing since the morning of surgery. About to puree eggs and ham how lovely.but i feel fine still. Well see how breakfast goes.

Not having issues with the taste of fluids. Water tastes pretty darn good for the moment. But you never know things can change.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
