How about you?

Some pain but so much better today than the last two days in the hospital. I really wasn’t prepared for how much pain I’d be in but it does get better each day.

Hey everyone I am having my bypass this Monday the 10th. I am so excited and nervous. I don't have to do a preop diet, I am glad about this but also a little worried. What if I gain a few pounds will this increase the risk of surgery?please if any body else on here didn't have to do a preop diet how was your surgery?
How are you feeling now?

My mother bought me a Spanx body suit Tuesday evening. I've been wearing it pretty much ever since. It has helped tremendously. Walking is easier with it on, and standing/sitting is easier too. This will all be worth it! My sister is 14mth post-op and has lost over 130lbs. I'm holding on to that! [emoji5]

I am still waiting for insurance approval. Because of insurance - met my very high out of pocket this year, I need to have surgery before 12/31. My surgeon says “no worries”. This 90day waiting period my insurance requires has just caused me anxiety if the truth be told. I’m 64, older than most on this site, and weigh about 285. I am so excited about this next chapter of my life.

In hospital they gave me a compression band. The nurse was so nice and the wrap was a dream. I still have it and though I can go without it I wear it especially when walking or extreme moving around. I will have to get the spanx suit. I know it will also help the stoma muscles.

      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!
