Hello, my RnY was on the 3rd. All went well. I did have a lot of pain while I had my drain in. Once it was removed the pain immediately went away. My Doctor ordered an elastic waist band that has really helped especially when doing my walking. I am home now and feel great. Just going to continue resting for a few days. Best wishes to all of you who have your date coming up.

Hello @Faith 73, I also had my surgery on the 3rd. I keep hearing about these waist band and I so want one. I think it would help my new tummy heal and not hurt like a ..... Every time I get up or try to sleep. I'm getting my liquids/protein down ok and I've been walking every chance I get so I'm pretty happy about that. Just happy to finally be in the losers bench.

Well I’m day four into the preop diet along with a week prior of having the stomach flu. I weighed myself this morning and the first fifteen pounds are gone. Although the last several days I’ve have a headache. Has anybody else had this?

Yep, I've had a couple of headaches during the pre-op diet and some friends who have also had the surgery told me it was normal. I guess it's sugar/carb/caffeine withdrawal? I upped my Water and that helped a little. Hope you feel better!

Day 10 on my pre op diet and I started getting them yesterday. Not a normal headache either, feels different. Like a deeper pain if that makes sense? Goes away after the next meal. Actually got me nauseous today for a bit. The hunger has seemed to get normal, not better just normal. But the headaches are new. Hope they don't last the rest of this week

I had my surgery on the 2nd and the pain has been bad. I am finally starting to feel a little better but I do still hurt when I drink Water or have a sugar free popsicle. My belly is still numb in some places. And sore to the touch. Follow up on Tuesday I plan to ask lots of questions.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        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!!
