Recommended Posts

Hey everyone just wanted to share a little bit of what happened with my gastric bypass surgery I had my surgery on 11/7 and had to have another one on 11/8 and stayed in ICU 4 days after yes that's right ICU and had to have two tubes put in me to drain the fluid's out of my stomach stayed in the hospital for another 5 days

Now am still recovering just got the last two removed 12/7

I am getting more energy every day and every day is better day and I'm just grateful that I am here to tell my story at first I wasn't feeling that I made the right decision but now since I am healing and feeling better it's okay it's okay I should be returning back to work in another week and a half so it's okay

Bless your heart! My surgery was the same day. Gastric bypass. Can't believe how good I felt.

Had a gastric sleeve 4 years ago and was miserable as hell from day 1.

Hope you to continue to stay strong and healthy.

If you don't mind my asking, what happened that you had to have a second surgery the next day?

Bless you! Glad you are starting to feel better.

Birdie bird, you sound great after having two surgeries. I pray you will continue to recover quickly.

The machine that clamps off your stomach didn't clamp off part of my pouch it didn't hold I was bleeding internally

Oh, wow! I'm glad they caught it and fixed it quickly. That could've been bad.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
