I had gastric bypass on Monday and just came home from the hospital. So far I have had no major issues such as nausea or vomiting.. Still very sore from my six small incisions and i had a low-grade fever when i got home.. My surgery was done lap. So far it going well. It's actually very hard having to be constantly eating albeit very little.. Anyway thought I would join and get some support.

Hi all,

Can any one tell me what are the precautions she need to take?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome! Congrats on your surgery. Prayers for a speedy recovery sent your way.

Surgery date: May 14, 2013

Is she on a pre op diet? If so her NUT should have provided her with some literature on what to eat. I'm not sure of her plan and I'd hate to tell u wrong. Every surgeon has diff plans. If u can tell me kinda what her lines are I can give u some ideas of what I try to stick to.

Your in for a train ride lmbo the other side it's so cool. You don't have to suck in your stomach in The bra section

Welcome... take time to rest and heal, do what your surgeon tells you to do and you will be fine. What got me up and about and back to work in 1 week was lots of walking and rest, I also took my pain meds as instructed. Your body heals faster when you are in no pain so take those meds. its easier to control pain when it first starts but when it gets out of control nothing will help.

My surgery is in 3 days. I'm hoping to be feeling as well as you Good luck!
