Anyone get a March date yet?



Recommended Posts

Anyone else have (sorry for tmi) very loose stool almost like diarrhea? I have since yesterday. Will call Dr tomorrow. Also has anyone weighed themselves? I figured since I’ve had nothing but liquids and they’re going through me I’d have lost something. Well folks I am 6 pounds UP. I’m not discouraged yet as I am still swollen. But it was a bit of a kick in the shorts.

Well I had my rny surgery yesterday. I have 6 incision spots and they also did a hiatal hernia repair. The gas is the worst part in my opinion but still have surgery sight pain and so they have me on pill for ohycodone every 3 hours. Dr says I can only drink 1 oz medicine cups of Water every hour. I also go diluted apple juice, chicken broth, bottled water with lemon flavor lemonad. Same rules for drinking that stuff too. Now I can smell people’s Breakfast being delivered and man it smells delish!!!!! I should be able to go home tommorw. My stats are 224 lbs day of surgery. My highest weight was 281 in 2011.

Glad to hear. My surgery was yesterday morning as well sleeve to rny with hernia repair. No gas, 5 incisions, no liquids until after x-ray this morning. Hoping to go home tomorrow if pain is tolerable.

I got my approval from the insurance company this morning. My sleeve is the 27. I'm so excited.

Hi! I had surgery on 3/20. Sleeve to bypass revision. I have no trouble taking meds in pill form and am able to drink liquids comfortably. I see that lots of folks struggle with both. Does anyone have any insight as to why some of us are more restrictive than others?

Hi! I’m the same as you. No trouble taking pills at all and I can drink liquids easily. I really don’t know what makes that difference for folks. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow since surgery for me (3/11) and I still have very bad pain from one of my incisions. Also, responding to your other post....it took me about a week to get rid of all the fluids from surgery. Hang in there it will leave you!

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. My surgeon told me that is usually the incision where the 'hard work' was done. I had the same issue when I was sleeved. How is you weight loss going?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
