Had my surgery September 24th



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on September 24th with Dr Baranov at Saratoga Hospital. I've been home now for 2days and feeling great.

My recovery has been easy, not too much pain and just getting to know the limits of my new pouch.

I'm drinking/sipping Water, taking in 1-2oz of Protein Shake 3 times a day and walking at least 30 minutes 2 times per day.

I feel fantastic and can't wait for more days to come. My husband, my son and my parents have been a big part of this journey and I think because of their support I'm doing so well.

I also had my surgery Sept 24th! I'm still amazed at how quickly I was able to get up walking around with no pain. I'm still on Clear Liquids for 2 more days but taking them in well and no nausea thus far.

Best of luck with your journey!

Wow, I'm impressed you are having shakes the first week! My surgeon only allows clear liquid for 7 days. Which for me is Isopure and Water. Actually got sick off the isopure and had to stop. Now I'm just having water and fat free chicken broth. Start 2nd week tomorrow and can't wait to have a shake! 2nd week is full liquids.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
