Hey guys! So I've survived!! VSG conversion to RNY. I woke up easily and was feeling great and walking around. I was discharged and my husband and I made the 3 hour drive back home. I woke up this Friday feeling good but annoyed with the drain. Gross. It's been soaking my clothes and just looking nasty. Lol. Around 4pm yesterday I stated feeling sick very suddenly with the chills. Called my Dr. and he said to come back. I did. And I was told that my potassium , Iron, and magnesium levels were very low and I needed to be put thru IV. I just felt terribly. I was finally released a few hours ago. Still feeling a bit weak but I'm glad it wasn't a leak. ????

Hello....I too believe in the same One that created you. I'm scheduled for October 4th. I was hoping to have the sleeve but after my endoscopy, I have a large hiatal hernia so I will have to have the bypass. You can do this! When you are in doubt call on the One who keeps us from falling. I'm praying for you and happy belated birthday!

Hey guys thanx for the support! I once again had to go the the hospital. I have a huge hematoma on the left side of my abdomen. So painful. Warning! Even if you feel good don't over do it!!! To make it worse I caught a cold. I'm not super woman like I assumed I was. I hated calling the Dr on a Sunday morning. Ohh well, healing time an extra 2 weeks

I had my RNY on October 19th, doing great as well. It's been a struggle eating eating the same sort of food day after day. Looking forward to Friday to start week 4 :)

How is everyone doing? I had surgery on the 28th. Had a complication had to get another surgery to fix that! But im feeling better these days! Still a bit sore but happy i was moved up to puree/soft foods! Somethings taste different but thats to be expected!

Had mine the 27th, now a little more than two weeks out, and I'm down 20+ pounds since my surgery date, and down a pants size.

My doctor put me on puréed foods on Tuesday. He's got me on Protonix for a year, to keep the acid down while everything heals up.

Everything has been fairly uneventful so far.

My surgeon is pleased with my progress, and wants to see me again in two months.
