I had the RNY on Wednesday the 5th. I also, had the headache until today. Not sure why. When i mentioned it to my Surgeon he made no comments. Itching means healing. Congratulations to us.

I'm glad you are ok now

Hello everyone my revision from sleeve to RNY was April 11th. Everything went well. Pain was controlled very well. At no point was it intolerable. I came home Thursday evening. My biggest problem is gas. My stomach and back is filled with gas and nothing's moving it. I've been walking taking gas-x using heating pad. Nothing is working. Just sent my hubby to the drug store to grab mylacon drops and hope maybe that will help. Any suggestions on the gas?. Silly me put on a sports bra to go to the store to grab Protein Water and the darn sports bra ripped the glue right out of the incision between my breast. It look like it will be ok but I asked my hunny to grab some steri strips as well. I don't know what the heck I was thinking. Thought since it wasn't a wire it would be ok.

Did anyone else put on a ton of weight from all the Iv fluids and gas? I came on 11lbs heavier than what I weighed in the hospital the afternoon of surgery.

Glad you're up & moving! The gas was crucial for me too...it works its way out eventually!

@cdevine1 congrats on your upcoming surgery. I suggest having all your Vitamins couple different Protein powders, sf gello, sf popsicles, and whatever else is on your list of can eat the first week after surgery. I suggest not buying too much because our taste buds tend to change after surgery but do have at least a week worth of what you need awaiting you when you arrive home from the hospital. There's a young lady on here who's surgeon recommend a month supply on hand when you come home from the hospital But that will be your personal preference of how much.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
