I had a mini bypass on the 7th, glad it is behind me and very excited about my future. Good luck to each and everyone of you :) I pray your paperwork and dates come sooner rather than later and that you operation me are smooth as can be. [emoji1374]

Hey guys! I had my DS on Feb 8th and I'm doing well. I'm fortunate to not have nausea. I do have one incision the hurts awful, it feels like something ripping every time I get up. This is definitely a learning curve to learn how to drink slow or it hurts or to eat slow and small bites or you will feel like rocks going down. I'm still a pound heavier than surgery but I'm not really worried about that now just healing. Hope everyone is doing well and healthy!!! [emoji173]

yeah I did receive some it was a small bottle and I'm trying to save my last little bit for really bad pain. Cracking down on these pain meds I think. I wish you the best of luck with your surgery! I know you'll do great!

I still have Norco left from knee surgery over a year ago so I don't think I could be called abusive of my medications.

Hello all! I had RNY on Tuesday morning 2/13. Hospital was great, but when I got home yesterday stuff got real. No more morphine or pain pump. I have some liquid hydrocodone, but that is only helping a little. I’ve been walking, and drinking. This is TOUGH. Anyone else have their surgery 2/13?

I hope when my day comes if I am uncomfortable to remember "I just got stabbed." Granted a scalpel instead of a butcher

knife but it will still hurt. I tell everybody to,be brave and tough it out but let's see how it will be when it's ME. Your friend[emoji197]

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
