Hi all,
Had my gastric bypass Monday and came home yesterday afternoon-felt like I should have stayed another night but glad to be home. This is quite an adjustment- making sure I get a sip of Water every 7 min and taking meds. Hopefully my cramps stop and some more gas releases (: Hope you are all well!

I am 2 weeks ahead of you. I have a low tolerance for pain, but I can tell you that about 5 days after the surgery, 90% of the pain was gone and here at 2 weeks, it feels even better. Getting in the fluids was/is difficult, but I use a stopwatch app on my phone and another app medisafe to remind me of the pills. BTW my recliner was my best friend for the first week or so.

Congrats and be prepared to see an amazing weight reduction every day. I'm about 18 pounds less than my surgery weight.

        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!!
