Lapband to RNY on 11/18/15. Doing well after surgery. Banded in 2007 one year of success, then a re-gain of all 85 pounds lost. Hopefully the RNY will do the trick! Good luck!

Doing well. On full liquid diet for two weeks then onto pureed. For some reason much less pain than after I had lapband in. Can get around pretty well and no pain meds since Thursday night.

I was also wondering about the pain level after the removal of the port and level of energy as well as the time frame you think your ready to go back to work? Many questions!!!

I have been using Unjury Protein Powder. chocolate is good. After surgery the unflavored is a must to add to your Soups and puddings. No port pain at all. The only thing I have is like it feels like a golf ball in my stomach when I drink Water but assume that's normal. I have heard that elsewhere. I took 2 weeks off but I get paid leave so blessed there. You need at least a week but 2 is better.

Good luck with your conversion.

I had my band removed and the gastric bypass surgery on 10/19/15 (32 days ago?) I am down at least 20 pounds I have not weighed myself this week.

So far so good ...

My surgery was laparoscopic.

I had 2 band surgeries prior.

So I have 7 sort of stab wounds.

I had zero pain except for a little gas in my jaw. I was up and walking immediately after surgery and only needed one night in the hospital.

They gave me a scrip for Oxy but I only needed one Tylenol for the 90 minute car ride home.

The incisions were a 1 on the pain scale. Lower belly ache about a 2.5.

Best of all I can swallow pills with Water and have no blockage!

No burping or spitting no heartburn or reflux.

I am never hungry and prefer svelte chocolate shakes.< /p>

I am now eating fruits and cooked veggies which the band did not allow.

Best wishes,

Terry

      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
