Need AUGUST bypass buddies!



Recommended Posts

I made it through surgery and feeling pretty good. I am glad they do not do catheters here for surgery. After trying a bed pan - I said forget this and walked to the restroom in recovery. I am allergic to the medicine in the pain pump but they gave me Benadryl for the itching - now I know what a cat with fleas fills like. I have many drug allergies. Last time I had an allergic reaction to the sutures so I have a wad of some kind of glue in my incisions - feels gross. I have not slept at all - itching and alarms going off because my oxygen level has dropped. They tried adjusting my cpap machine to help with oxygen levels but a definite no go. I am glad all of us August 13th buddies are doing well.

Glad to hear you all are coming along! Surgery went well- lap band removal , gall bladder removal and gastric bypass. I'm sore, but feeling good. I've walked already and just got cathadar out. Look forward to comparing notes with you all! Wishing all speedy recovery!

Aug 12th surgery...I'm home, I was released yesterday. I need to dial in my pain meds better but all is ok. My gallbladder was apparently shot. My surgeon said I had had a gallbladder attack prior to surgery...so of course I've been trying to pin point that. I think most of my pain is from that removal. Not trying to weigh myself...just want to get around better.

The date is set...Aug 12th! Its been 7 months since my first appt...and here I am, scared, nervous and so excited. I'll be having hernia repair, bypass and gallbladder taken out in one shot. Anyone who had anything similar to those procedures, I'm super interested to hear of your recovery and how long before returning to work (though I realize everyone is different). I would love to buddy up with someone!

Yeah, just super slow. I think I'd be moving around a bit faster if it weren't for the gallbladder removal. The surgeon had some issues with it. It was messed up. He said he could tell I had had atleast one attack prior to surgery. Kinda scary! But yeah...just moving super slow, gradually getting better daily.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
