A few days away for my RNY!



Recommended Posts

Hello gentlemen!

Happy to see there is a guy's forum on here, seems all the others are dominated by the "other-half" [emoji23]

I'm scheduled for my RNY this coming Monday 7/12. Excited, nervous and all those other emotions that come with it.. I'll be posting my progress as I go, as I'm sure I'll need some advice from our seasoned WLS

But at the moment, I've been on the liquid diet now for about a week and a 1/2 and have noticed issues getting an erection the last couple of days. Anyone else experiance this while on liquids only? If so did it all clear up post op? It's pretty troubling to say the least.

Thanks a lot!

-Mike

No issues other than the norm with the liquid diet. I do have issues from time to time but I think it's due to the meds I'm on. Killed my libido and when I was drinking it didn't last long when it did work.

I'm 2 days post op, had my VSG on the 12th this past thursday. (Think you typed your numbers wrong). I think do to the trauma of the surgery or the pain pills or combo of everything, Junior has no interest in coming out to play at all. BUT from all I read and heard from other WLS male patients that all goes away and it's like we are teenagers again. Can't wait for that stage. I know the wife won't be happy.....

Maybe it's just the emotions of what's to come. I wouldn't worry about it to much. Give it time and see how things go. If you have issues down the line bring it up with your PCP. Good luck with it all, especially your surgery and recovery!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
