Anyone else have surgery in July ?

Mine is 7/7 would love to keep up with people who are having there’s around the same time.

I start my preop diet 6/23
2-3 shakes a day and 1 sensible meal

Also anyone’s doctor ask them to stop taking their multivitamin before surgery ?

Mine was on 7/6 too! I’m doing pretty well. No nausea or vomiting so I guess I’m pretty lucky. Just now starting to get all my protein and fluids in. How are you doing? Hopefully we’ll!

July 1st! 10 days post op

New here. I was scheduled for sleeve on the 27th but my pre surgery endoscopy found changes confirmed as Barrett's esophagus. Sooooo I am now gastric bypass, fingers crossed that the VA blanket approval will be applied to my original date of surgery.

My surgery was 2 days ago. Not in too much pain except for the gas-pain, which is to be expected. I'm leaving the hospital today, I've been poked enough with needles and hope to recover nicely on my couch with my cat [emoji4]
Does anyone else have to give themselves anti-coaggulent injections at home?

July 12th here!! Day 3 post op! I’m sore. I’m trying to meet my fluid goal at 64oz today. Yesterday I was at 21oz??

I've been wondering about the blood thinning injections i know some people have to do them for up to 30 days and others don't get them at all. I haven't been told anything about them yet and my surgery is next Friday. Good luck on your recovery

Hi! I had surgery on July 8! My Instagram is @soymariangulo

So 3 days post-op now. I have to inject myself with the anti-coaggulants for 10 days and I have to do the liquid diet for 10 days as well (so 1 more week to go!).
One question... Is anyone else in the liquid stage hungry? I mean, I wouldn't be able to eat a normal meal, but I'm still hungry like I WOULD be able to... Anyone else? I can't wait to eat some solid (pureed) foods!

My revision was successful in that they were able to do the bypass and repair the hernia. I am in far more pain and discomfort than with my sleeve. Struggling with fluids because the hernia repair left inflammation in the esophagus. Sugar free Popsicles are the best right now. I have a 100 degree fever and am supposed to call if it hits 101. The gas pain is ridiculous. I have tried the simethicone drops, mylanta and walking. I am using a cane to walk

My sx was the 22nd, revision as well and swelling...Use a heating pad for gas it helps and walking....Still even 3 weeks out having issues getting fluids down due to the swelling...

Doc prescribed 14 days of enoxaprin injections for me. The pharmacy accidentally gave me 18, so he said, "well, go ahead and take them."

I’m 4 days post op - feeling so weak and tired , still in heaps of pain , would anyone be interested in making a WhatsApp group ? I feel like I need more people that have done surgery roughly around the same time to talk to lol

July 14 th here. I still have a lot of pain getting out of the bed is this normal? Also, I haven’t been able to sleep for more than an hour at a time
