@@TMG1980TMG how did it go? How are you feeling? Hope all is good and pain is minimal. Did you have the sleeve or GB? Please share when you feel up to it and know we are all thinking of you ????????????

I had surgery September 28th. I was home the next day. The gas pains are the worst! Make sure you are stocked up on gas-x because you will need it. Walking helps alot! I was in quite a bit of pain after surgery. They brought me to my room and I just could not get comfortable in the bed because of all the gas pains, I had to get up and walk immediately

How are you doing? I'm doing well I had the sleeve. My incisions are starting to itch so I'm guessing that means they are healing. I have little to no pain. I don't have a scale so I am waiting until my 3 week post op visit for my first weigh in.

I'm doing well. Today I finally feel like myself. No pain really. My incisions are itching too. I can't wait to be able to try so actual food. Lol I had the bypass

I had my sleeve to bypass revision on 9/28 and was discharged on 9/30. I had to give quite a few pleases to go. He had preferred I stayed 1 more night. I had my revision due to severe acid and bile reflux and so far I have not had any problems with reflux since. I am still having some intermittent pain but nothing I can't handle. I am keeping liquids down but I am having no desire to drink at all. I am trying to force it but that is very hard for me to do. I am going to start my protein shakes tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well!!

I had my RNY on the 28th. Doing fairly well. Pain is pretty much gone except for the occasional sharp pain on my left side that lasts a few min and then gone. I am having a tough time getting all of my protein and fluid requirements in. I hate that protein shakes! I can't wait until I can have cold things and something other than liquid! Hope everyone is doing well!

Mine was at 1030am. I am doing good. Takes all day to get fluids in

I had my RNY on Sept 29th. Lost 18lbs since
