This is my first time posting. I just scheduled my bypass surgery for October 30. My doctor doesn't require any special diet before surgery. Had 3 month insurance requirement. That seemed to fly by!

Hi guys. Apologies on delay in coming on. Had bypass on the 1st October, had a remarkable recovery. No issues what so ever, very minimal pain and no gas pain... A lot of gas burps but no pain thank God. 7 little incisions across the abdomen and on a little paracetamol for pain but more muscular pain than anything else - like a day late pain after a tough session in the gym. Hopefully recovery continues this well. Was 13lbs down on the liver shrinkage diet and obviously did enough as surgeon was thrilled with my surgery. Went to theatre at 4.30pm and back in my own bed for 9.30pm... Was very sleepy for a while coming around and O2 levels kept dropping but that was it. Was up and out of bed with hair and make up done at 10am the next morning for surgeons rounds. :) I am currently on route to the Ferry (had surgery in the UK) and cannot wait to get into my own bed and surroundings. Hope everyone is doing ok x

Does anyone want to start a Facebook group for October bypass friends. So we can help each other? Or does anyone know of one?

I would love to join one, but if it isn't private, I would rather not join. I'm very private and don't want it showing on my Facebook as a group/page I joined. Other than that, yes!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
