Good Morning

Im having my surgery on July 19,2018. Just wondering if any one else is having their surgery in July? Just want someone to talk to about the stress of surgery and excitement

Surgery Day was Wednesday and nothing take good. I came home today and got in the bed, one of the incision is giving me the blues. Plus I'm still high from the pain medication, no more.

That stinks! I have had a very smooth recovery. I didn’t need any pain medication at all. I have no nausea. Only issue I have is I am going on my 8th day with no #2. Started miralax today. Hope it gets better for you

Is anyone having back pain post op? I’m not sure if it’s because of the bed or gas ? But it’s hard to get rid off

I’m 7 days post op. I have no pain at all. Some soreness if I bend over or sit for too long.

4 Days post op. Managing the pain the gas even stomach cramps. What am having a problem with is all the food commercials. Of course can’t do a lot so watching tv. I have never paid attention to the commercials but now it’s like every other one is food. It’s making me so hungry.

I hear you. Almost three weeks post op. Red lobster commercial gets me every time. Uggh.

I’m 4 days post op. I have chest pain and can’t breathe deep due to a collapsed lung that happened during surgery. Had this happened to anyone else? Also, when they pulled the drainage tube, it was the worst pain of my life. I know eventually it will be worth it, but I’m hurting right now.

Praying for a speedy recovery.

My MD recomeneded 64 oz. Water daily. However that is to include the coffee/tea etc. that you drink that day. I have had no trouble consuming that much since my surgery on 7/18/18, but I drank A LOT of water/fluids daily prior to surgery

I could easily drink 100 oz prior to surgery..with the sleeve, I'm lucky to get in 20 oz...

Same here. I loved water pre surgery but I’ve yet to get all my fluid in. 9 days post op today.

My surgery was the 24th. I had no nausea, but the gas pains were terrible. I also ended up with a partially collapsed lung from misplacement of the breathing tube, but the worst pain for me is the left shoulder. Does anyone else have this issue?

Wow! I guess that just reinforces everybody is different. I drink my 64 oz of water along with coffee and my protein. I know my nutritionist told me before I left the hospital that when you drink broth, tea, coffee, or shake you can subtract it from your H2O amount. Guess different programs use their own menthods. Good Luck to you, I know you will do well.
