Hospital stay after surgery....



Recommended Posts

I had surgery at 10am on Monday, 27 June and was on my way home at 1pm Tuesday. I was up walking on Monday, and my catheter was removed in recovery- also no drain for me. I was very lucky in all facets of this surgery.

I had my surgery yesterday at 11. I didn't wake up until midnight. Was up in chair and walking at 4am. My only pain medication had been every 4 hours tylenol

Forgot to say the surgeon may release me tomorrow. In addition to rNY I apparently had a large hiatal hernia the he repaired. I'm really not that sore today

My surgeon required the same stay for all his patients, which is rather long in comparison to most I think. I was in there with two of my friends from Options classes (a Kaiser thing). We all had the RNY.

The first had hers on Monday and was out on Thursday. The second has hers on Tuesday and was out on Friday. I had mine on Wednesday and was out by Saturday. So that's 4 days, give or take.

My surgery was on 8/22 and I would have gone home the 24th but we were having a problem controlling my nausea. Went home the 25 and quit taking pain meds - nausea went away as soon as I gave up the pain pills

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
