How are you doing now? Anything you wished someone would have told you about the recovery procesd you care to share?

Hey all

Im from Toronto just had my RNY December 1st at toronto western.

Hey how was it? Who was your surgeon? Hope you're recovering well.

I have mostly great days. I had acid reflux issues the first two weeks but doctor gave meds and advised to sleep upright for now. Also nausea for the last couple days. I think when I was told about chewing slow and taking smaller bite I took it lightly at first. But you really have to learn your body all over again and really really slow down. I really wish I knew that I would be so lethargic, as I'm a fairly on the go kind of person. Since my pre-op diet, I've been lacking energy. But I am told it will get better by latest month 3 of post-op.

Hey I've had my good days and my bad days but over all i think I'm doing ok. My surgeon was Dr. Urbach, I have my follow up appointment on January 7th so waiting anxiously to see how much I've lost cause i really just trust their scale but if it matches up to what my scale says than I'll start weighing myself at home.

Ok well I hope your 1st month goes well and good luck on your first month checkup. I know what you mean about the scales.

@@bigbattynatty thanks I've noticed that things are getting better as the days go by. It's still trial and error especially as I've entered the puree stage. Ypu had your's in november how are you doing besides the low energy?

That's good! Same here, occasional days where I feel nauseous or have gas bubbles in my esophagus but usually passed when I walk around and get moving a bit. I'm just really taking it day by day.

@@bigbattynatty Congrats! I hope you're doing well.

Thank you! Giving it my best shot. Have a bit of nausea and gas but hanging in there.

@@bigbattynatty Are you taking anything for the nausea and gas? Have you checked in with your doctor's office about it? I hear it happens fairly often and there's probably something they can give you for it or that you can buy over the counter.

I hope you feel better soon.

Yes I bought a tea at the herbal food store yesterday to help with the nausea and gas. Giving it some time to work.

Toronto, Ontario here. Scheduled surgery at Toronto Western on January 9th
