I had Robotic Gastric By-pass & healed pretty fast. I went home the next day after the surgery. After few days had bowel movement.

i had a hard time eating & drinking the requirement intake. The first 3 months were difficult for me. Eating, exercise & mental state took this time to adjust. It was weird, at 3 1/2 months it was like a light bulb went off, everything started working together!! You'll do great Nana!

It was about 2-3 weeks not long! Start walking immediately, at first just walk up & down your driveway a few times a day, every week walk a litter further, it really helps!

I was DC'd from hospital on day 2 d/t nausea. Once home, I was fine. Incisional pain the worst on right lower quadrant. On day 6, I could finally tolerate it well enough to move on to Tylenol. I needed a little help with stool softners and Miralax, and Day 6 it happened! Guess this was a turning point for me on a few things. Everyone heals differently! Keep walking, drinking, resting and stay the course. All will work out! Good Luck to all....

Is the pain diminishing?? Try & get off pain pills s soon as you can. They will delay your bowel movements!! Are you able to drink your shakes? Feel better & Happy Mothers' Day????

Hope your pain gets better soon! Maybe try a ice pack to stomach, put it in pillow case or something. It just helps to numb pain and helps with swelling. This too shall pass!

no shakes yet i half to wait till next week to get my drain out

I didn't have any drains. I had Robotic, no big abdominal incision. I had 5 holes which only took a couple of stitches.. I would say 3-4 to heal enough to walk a little. It's funny I really do not remember much about the actual surgery. I went home the next day.
