Hello everyone! I wanted to go ahead and start an August surgery group. With everyone's date rolling in, I figured it was time! My surgery is August 2 and I am nervous and excited, but mostly ready to be done!!! How about everyone else?

I just had surgery on August 5th and I had the bad for a year and got gastric bypass. I am so happy I decided to have this revision because I HATED the band and I am praying that I love bypass. So far so good just in pain :/ haven't lost any weight yet I think it's from all the fluids' date=' it's making me so bloated. Does anyone no when you usually start losing?

Thanks!![/quote']

Hey I had mine on 7/31 and I gained 2 lbs due to the water weight but if you stick to it now that is been a week I'm down 9 from my sw. Good luck and I hippie this works better for you!

I'm nervously sitting in the waiting room for my pre-op appointment. I've been dreaming about this, because I don't know what to expect. Sx date is 8/27. Hopefully this will go smoothly. Just wanted to share my nerves!

Prayers to you all

Oh, Mz Shay! I hope everything goes well with the endoscopy for you. I still have my endoscopy on Wednesday, the semi-liquid diet and I have to make certain that I do not have a yeast infection going on in the area where the incisions will be.

Today went ok other than my nerves.

Not sure if what I am feeling is gas pain or not. That's what I think it is...my stomach has a very heavy feeling and the pain also goes in my shoulders' date=' arms and back but I don't feel the need to pass gas...wish this would go away!![/quote']

Becky that's exactly How mine is. And yes its gas. But I'm like u , I don't feel the need to pass it.

Welll today is Friday and I'm still.in the hospital. I've got 66 staples.. 4 or 5 small ones and a big one, from my breast bone all the way down,

Ive gotta learn how much my new poucb holds. I'm getting sick. I drank 1-1/2 little medicine cups of broth n 3 bitses off of popcycle. I've been sick ever since.

I hope I get to go home Tomoro..

Just got home from hospital about an hour ago. I went in Tuesday afternoon. Was supposed to be in surgery at 1:30 but dr was finishing another pt in another hospital. I finally go out of surgery around 8 Tuesday night. Wednesday was a bad day for me. Anything I drank I threw up and then some. I spoke to my dr and he said to just do the Iv for awhile because my stomach was all bruised and swollen. So I did not try any more liquids that day. Then Wednesday it was so much better. I have not thrown up again and I have no pain. My cuts just itch alot. Other than the throwing up, I feel great.

Highest weight 360. pre surgery 313, after surgery 329.

Kinsse I hope you are feeling better soon and get to go home....Prayers to you for quick healing!!

Everyone talks about what to bring to the hospital .... How to prepare before and after surgery but I would like to know from those who have already have had surgery.. What were the steps you went through once you arrived at the hospital ? My wife and I have surgery next week and we are prepared for it but are wondering what happens at that point when we get there ?

Like.. Did anyone have anymore test done? Bloodwork? EKG ? How long was the wait before you actually went into surgery? Any help would help our nerves.. lol
