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!

Congrats! It's a crazy adjustment, but it's well worth it!

Yay! First couple of weeks can be a struggle but it gets easier.

Congrats! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thanks so much! Each hour gets a little better.

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.
