Kinda/ sort of had gastric bypass RNY surgery today......



Recommended Posts

I went in for my surgery today. Got prepped. Was put under. Had the incisions for the hernia repair and RNY gastric bypass. The surgeon went in.....

And when I woke up they told me they had removed a lymph node and I passingly have lymphoma. I get the biopsy in 3 days....

I am so blessed. Had I not been "opened up" and the surgeon saw it..... They may not have found out until it was too late---or may have not.Found it at all!!!!!!

What a blessing.

The doc said I can still have the surgery in the future and will not need the strict diet because my liver looked so good!!!

Wow. That's crazy. I have an umbilical hernia but Doctor left it. He said it would likely return with all the hanging skin and with that kind of hernia the apron surgery it practically a shoe in with my insurance. So glad they found out and they are taking charge!!

One individual in our bariatric surgery support group was in the final preparations for RNY surgery. He underwent the pre-op testing and a surgery date was set. He was a week away from surgery but then they called him in for immediate surgery - open heart surgery. He was about to have a heart attack.

We saw him at the next meeting after his heart surgery, he had lost some weight and then few months later he had regained enough strength and then underwent the RNY surgery.

Amazing! God works in mysterious ways. My husband's pancreatic cancer was found 'by mistake' - saved his life!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
