Calling all March bypass surgery dates!

[KristyVSG 8]

Home today from the hospital. My surgery was March 7 and went great! I'm not all that sore, but I've had some bad gas pains. It's getting better, though. I'm drinking Water, Powerade Zero, and broths. I have no hunger, which is amazing!

Hi

This is my first post but I have been following for a long time. I just had my RNY Gastric Bypass on March 14th. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday March 16th. I had researched and researched but I don't think I was prepared for the amount of pain I would be in. A lot pressure from the gas and also a couple of the incision sites. I have been walking several times a day(even showered yesterday) but at this point I can only function with pain meds.

To those who have already had their March RNYs, How are you feeling? I realize I'm only 3 days out (even less since my surgery didn't get started until 9pm on the 14th) so I need to be patient but I just want to feel like myself again. Any words of inspiration and hope would be lovely.

It will get better, Colleen. I think all our experiences are unique. This is my experience.

I came home feeling great, but the next day I had gas pains in my shoulder like a leg cramp that lasted too long. I had these four or five times the next couple of days. Also, I'm having trouble with my JP drain. In the hospital, it was so excessive we switched from a bulb to a bigger bag. I thought it would be removed Monday, but another doctor subbing for mine didn't like the coloring and ordered a CT scan. They said it showed some swollen glands with Fluid buildup behind them and I would need the bag until this Monday.

There's very little draining now, and the bag smells like rotten eggs--it makes me gag! I'm so ready to get rid of it!!!

Banded this morning and I'm sat in hospital bed ready for a hopefully good nights sleep. Can't wait to get this started, in need of some energy as nothing but Water for 24 hours now but I really can't wait to see the new me!

Good luck to everyone in their journey.
