My gastric bypass surgery is Sept 6 !!! And boy am I nervous...I heard about the gas pains and nausea....I think that's what I'm more nervous about. I hope it doesn't last too long. Also I've been watching the series on YouTube...and slot of them come out of the O.R. with a blue stain on their face? I'm assuming that's from the leak test??

Good luck on your upcoming surgery. It is common to be nervous before an operation.

I am not sure what you mean by blue stain on their face. I don't remember any. But maybe I wasn't focused on the way I looked after surgery. I think my only focus was not to reveal too much wearing a hospital gown, that is somewhat open in the back. This was especially true when I walked the corridors of the hospital once every two hours.

Good luck! Have you ever noticed how much nervousness feels like excitement? For the record, I had no nausea and very little gas pain. I walked every chance I got in the hospital which helps with gas . . . and I asked for a second hospital gown to wear like a robe so there was "southern exposure." I hope all goes well for you. Before you know it, the surgery will be over and you'll be on your way to your new life!

I had bypass and no blue stain. Not sure what that is all about.

Just remember the gas pain subsides more quickly if you get up and get moving ASAP after surgery. Also plenty of Water to flush the toxins.....

Best of luck!

I realize there's a lot of junk more dramatic things online then in reality. I was scared to but it was just an easy process. Yippie everything went perfect you have a little gas pains under your left breast. To get rid of the pain, you just got to walk and get the gas out. fart fart and fart and you're going to be great and always make sure they give you good meds. My other advice is keep the door open to your room you don't want to fart bomb anybody!

You got this!!!!!

Good luck and thanks!

      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...

      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
