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.

I just found out that i'm approved and final surgery date is 12/19! i'm so excited, scared and nervous!

Good Luck today!!

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]

That’s amazing!! I keep reminding myself that this will be a faded memory. Day by day! We got this!

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.

The gas was terrible for me the first 3 days! I'm feeling fantastic now though! Good luck today. Please share how it goes!

Hey every body I had my bypass on the 10th. I had to stay in the hospital 4 days. First day after surgery I was up walking and doing well. 2nd day I went into Atril Fib so that stopped everything no walking until they could get me back in regular heart rhythm. Then my I.V infiltrated with that harsh heart med and to this day site is very hard and painful But now I am 1 week out and doing good getting my shakes and fluids in and feeling so positive about the future cant wait until I can stronger and stronger.
