I just received the date of my sleeve to RNY revision. I will go in on Monday 3/11 and am very excited and hopeful for this surgery. Anyone else get a March date?

Are you nervous? I am and I don't know why. This isn't my first rodeo. Maybe my nerves will calm down when I get there. Good Luck to you and stay in touch.

I am nervous as well. Headaches from not eating.

I just got my date of 3/11 for the RNY procedure. Feeling overwhelmed at this point but it's been a long haul to get here. Very ill with Type II Diabetes.

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.

TODAY MY DATE IS TODAY!!!!!???

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.

@wanda1952 hoping all is well. I'm recovering day 1.

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?

I am in the same situation. I was extremely swollen and had to go to the bathroom every hour my first day home. Waiting to get on the scale until I can see my ankles again. LoL

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?

Pretty well. I lost almost 10 on preop and 10 since surgery.
