Saw my surgeon today and got my date.

17th Jan. Lapband removal, possible hiatus hernia repair and revision to RNY

I got the call. I have to be at the hospital at 5:00AM tomorrow. I am excited yet very nervous as I have never had any type of surgery before. Can't wait for this part to be over so I can start my journey to being healthier.

5am. Wow. Your surgery may have already been done before I even get to the hospital.[emoji3] .

I'm excited and nervous too. Already had the talk with myself, Why are you doing this again.

Thank you! I will have a heparin shot before surgery so I am not looking forward to that.
Thanks for the advice!

How are you feeling??

Congrats and best of luck

Had my surgery on the 29th, got out of hospital today. Everything went really well and have had no trouble drinking just gas pains under my rib cage but that is to be expected I guess. Looking forward to this new way of life [emoji4]

Well congratulations on having surgery, being dismissed so quickly which means you're recovering well. Now you will be starting a new phase of l8fe, may everything work well for you.

Congratulations!!!! Welcome to the losers bench!!

I can answer your visual problem, SCOPALAMINE it is notorious for just that, told my Doctor not to give me any, haven't had it for years, last time I swung Bipolar and wanted to kill myself, was going to jump out of a 6th floor window. Yeah weird but TRUE! I'm just ducky? as long as I don't have THAT!

I had mine at 7am CT time today Jan 31st. When I got out I had really bad gas pains. First 5-6 hours were a little rough but after that barely any pain m. Just gas pain here n there. This wasn't bad at all :) Goodluck all!

Havent had gas pains. But my big incision is killing me any time I move. I did make one loop walking the floor. Going to walk again. No fluids today, tomorrow the surgeon wants to see me before I statt.

I had my surgery on 1/21 - wasn't much pain for me but the naseua was pretty rough. I'm doing well although I still struggle with getting both my liquids and proteins in. I can do one or the other but both is a struggle

Well my blurry vision is gone but the pain. I was fine until it was discharge time and now the stomach pain ugh. Between gas pains and what feels like muscle spasms at my two big incisions... ugh go away

That's good that you are seeing better.
Make sure your sips are small and walk every hour!

Here I am post OP day 3.
I honestly feel really good.
I haven't taken a pain pill since Wednesday, tylenol yesterday, nothing today.
Tmi...I pooped for the first time this morning, so I am happy that's out of the way.

I am actually debating going back to work on Monday and save that second week of vacation for true days off.
