Had my surgery yesterday morning. I've been sleeping on and off. Waking every ten to push pain med button. Other than that all went well.

Gastric bypass was at 2 pm yesterday andi have to say that while it was quite a bit more painful than I was expecting, I feel a lot better over all than I thoughti would! So far I have almost no nausea and I'm able to walk fine. But holy cow the dry mouth is real! Luckily they let me suck on a few pieces of ice every hour. Peeing is such a pain, wiping more specifically . I can't believe this is real! This really happened! I want to use this hospital time to reflect on what serious changes I need/want to make with my diet. I cheated on my preop diet a few times but I made sure to get right back to it which I never did in the past. Gotta keep moving forward now!

Also did anyone else who had the surgery already get a drain?

Good luck to everyone going in. I was so terrified, and now I'm so freaking happy!

I had my RNY in August of last year, so if you ever want someone who is a year ahead of you to give you pointers/advice/commiseration, feel free to message me. Good luck! :)

Currently, I am going through the process. I have been going through this alone and would also like a buddy or mentor that can provide me with advice and share with me thejr experience experience. Thanks very much.

@ inspyrdbyu - THANK YOU SO MUCH! That means so much to me :) I called my insurance and surgeons office and both said they had nothing to do with the hospital and their billing. I called the hospital but keep getting their voicemail. I have a number to call between 3-6pm to confirm my arrival time tomorrow so I'm basically just sitting here waiting for that. Hoping for the best!

I called the hospital at 3 and they told me to be there at 11am and my surgery is scheduled for 1pm so as of now..I'm showing up! Don't feel guilty, enjoy! If I don't get on here tomorrow, I wish you the best of luck as well! I hope your surgery goes very well and I look forward to hearing about how great you feel! :)

Good luck! They will not cancel surgery at this point! They'd lose far more $ canceling then you could ever owe! Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride!

They aren't letting me start Clear Liquids today because my stomach is still too inflamed and it takes 10 very uncomfortable minutes for 1 small sip to go from the top of the stomach to the bottom of it. Of course they had already brought me the broth and Jello right before my test so now it's just sitting there starting at me and smelling gooooooood.

      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?
