October Bypass

[Ladybev 4]

I just had the gastric bypass on 10/15 I have not been in any pain at all to where I would need pain medication. I have been getting my walks in and I have been doing my best to get waters and Proteins in per day. I came home with a drainage but I get that out on 10/26. I can honestly say it was easier than I thought it was going to be .

I had my surgery October 8th. I'm 16 days post op & my left side hurts so bad I can't stand up for more than a few minutes before I need to sit, let alone go for a walk! I'm usually a tough cookie, but I'm feeling like a complete wimp. Anyone else have this much pain after surgery or is it just me?

I'd call your surgery team to ask because that sounds pretty extreme to me.

Surgery was successful🤗 Band to bypass revision & A hernia repair on Oct 16, 2018. stayed 2 nights at the hospital. Terrible shoulder pain since I been home. They say it's gas.. I'm walking & applying a heating pad on it, but the pain LAWD it hurts!!! I got a JP drain which is uncomfortable & painful but controlled by medication. I'm getting it removed Wednesday & I can't wait .. Overall, I'm doing good😊

10/29 is so close now. Plus I really like the little quote for the day. Adjusting my sails is absolutely right.

And Bryce I will be busy tempering the Wind to the shorn lamb! Maybe when this weight descent finishes up I will appear more lamb-like instead of a b grizzled old sheep.

First time posting on here. I had my surgery October 8th. I had bypass surgery and as far as pain goes it was so much better than I thought it would be. But, I am definately having some head hunger. I can't stop thinking about everything I wish I could eat again. Last night I had some mushy cheerios and it may have been a mistake. Today I feel so full and when I drink even a couple sips I feel like i have eaten too much..not sure if this is the beginning of a stricture or if my pouch is just tight today. This is the first problem I have had since surgery so I'm hoping this is just one of those things that happens and I dont need to go to the ER or something.

I had my surgery today. Went in with a severe headache. They gave me double dose Tylenol via IV and tramodol which helped a lot. So far, no pain and no nausea. I’ve walked a few times. I can feel the soreness and a bit of gas in my chest. No problems drinking anything. I hope I continue on like this! I’ll be home tomorrow.
