Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

I had surgery 5 days ago I was supposed to have it the 27th but I got bumped up which was great for me. 5 day pre op diet and 5 days post op am down 24 lbs yay but the gas is killing me and I have the worst headache. But am going to keep pushing. Good luck to everyone.

On my way to hospital. Surgery scheduled for 7:15. Prayers appreciated. See you guys on the losers bench.

Yay!!! Congrats!! Lets us know how it goes!!

_{This is my second day out from the hospital' date=' 4 day post-op. how is everyone doing with their meds, shakes, vitamins. I am not sure if I am mixing right. My husband mix me a shake yesterday ugh! it was watery.[/sub']}

_{You can try mixing the protein mix with 1% or skim milk. The milk has protein also. You can get different types of extracts to add to vanilla and give you different flavored.}

Woot, I'm on the losers bench! 2 days post op and feeling great, and advanced to stage 3 just now and the protein is going down fine. Only real pain is where the drain is but doc says once they tale it out I'll feel like a new woman.

I've literally had bouts of the giggles....Finally after all the planning and the prep, I'm finally here!

Congrats. Welcome home. Let begin our journey!!

Came out of surgery around noon yesterday, but I don't actually remember anything until about 4pm. Woke up sore and disoriented with a dilaudid pca pump. I've been up and walking 4 times since then and walking really does help. Most annoying thing is the mouth and throat dryness. My voice is really strained and hoarse from the intubation. Some nausea mostly after walking, but its not too bad. I even refused phenergan yesterday and opted to wait 2 hours until I could have more zofran. Phenergan just makes me feel like a zombie, I hate the stuff. Burping some, but no poots yet. Still dealing with the foley, cant wait for them to take it out in the morning.

Nursing staff here at Duke Raleigh is wonderful. Everyone has been very nice, professional and caring.

I was supposed to be at Duke Raleigh, but my insurance insisted on my surgery being done at Durham Regional. Who was your doctor? I had Dr. Sudan.
