Anyone else next week, I’m 11/9 for a bypass. Just looking to see if anyone wanted to be a little support group for each other, motivators for one another. I imagine it’s nice to converse with people at the same place in the journey :)

Hi I am 11/10 the day after you and I would be happy to be a motivator for one another. Maybe we can setup a zoom call weekly or something like that,

Hi, I’m 11/18 for bypass. I’d like to check in with people as well. I’m looking forward to getting it over with and healing ?

I’m up this morning. Feeling anxious for sure. Headed to the hospital in about 2 hours

Hi I had my gastric bypass on 11/10 hope u ladies are doing well and recovering quickly ?

Yes I had my surgery on Nov.11th! Gastric sleeve was done. What did ya'll have done and how do you feel?
I felt pretty miserable in the hospital the day I was discharged. I felt like they didn't do very well keeping me on top of the pain. I has morphine for a short while and then TramAdol and one Tylenol 3 with codeine. I seriously felt like I regretted doing the surgery. But once I got home and could take the prescriptions the doctor gave me for pain I felt a lot better.

I have to say I had mine on the 8th and I am in barely any pain. I’m actually surprised at how smooth the recovery has been. The hospital stay was brutal though.

I have to agree I feel a lot better since I've been home but at the hospital was brutal. I didn't realize I'd have to be on top of making sure they'd bring me pain medication as much as I did. Unfortunately, by that point I was miserable and in tears. It's so much better once you get home!

Oh I am so with you on that one. I take narcotics for hip arthritis because I’m a lifer on anticoagulants and my options are super limited. I started detoxing in the hospital because they didn’t take into consideration that it had been 14 hours since I’d had any.

Oh that had have been awful to go through! I hope you are feeling much better now though!
