Need AUGUST bypass buddies!

[Wicked-Storm 6]

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.

My surgery is next Wednesday so we'll be just 1 day apart. I'll post as soon as I can after surgery. Has the preop diet kicked you? I am 64 so I'll I've been doing is peeing& pooping every hour and not sleeping. My preop has some meat & veg x twice a day plus 4 Protein Shakes and lots of Fluid. Whew!

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!

Yay !!! So glad to hear it! Are you still able to walk and get around?

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.
