I had my surgery yesterday November 23rd and it went well. I also had hernia repair at the same time. So far I am not in much pain just a little discomfort. The nurses were surprised at how well I was doing. I drank two bottles of water. Took me several hours but I got and keep it down. No Nausea and i have I walked every our sometimes twice an hour to help with the gas. For now the gas discomfort is completely tolerable. The worst pain was my throat from the intubation, but still tolerable. I just made my first Bariatric fusion shake today and so far so good. Just slipping on water in between. I know I will probably have some bad days, but I’m happy the start has been really good.

Congrats! It's such a great feeling when it is all over. Sounds like you are on your way to a successful journey, both physically and mentally.

Congratulations! You’re doing great!

So glad you are doing well.
They made my daughter drink from a medicine cup every 15 min.
I wasn’t a true “bariatric” so the orthopedic floor didn’t know what to do with me.

They told me in the beginning that I would be a medicine cup, but when they saw I well I drank from the bottle. I guess said never mind to the medicine up.

Congratulations to you ALL!!!!.....My surgery is December 7th and it really takes some of the edge off my nerves reading successful accomplishments. Have a beautiful blessed journey.

Congrats! I did similarly well with water post-op and had the hernia repair too. Glad your pain isn't too bad, and hope it stays manageable when you get home.

Roughest part is done - go you!

Congratulations! My RNY was last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I'm doing good drinking. I posted on another page, I'm a little worried because I'm taking bigger drinks than the medicine cup. I took Tylenol (liquid) at noon today and I was fine until 9 PM. I took a pain pill at 6:30 this morning and then again a little while ago. My breast bone and down my left side is very sore, but all in all, I'm going goo. No hunger at all right now. I'm glad it's over with and I'm on the road to recovery. Good luck, keep us all posted!!

Congratulations. I am getting my procedure done tomorrow. Kinda feeling jittery and a little anxious. But hoping things go well and I can come out here and post a similar story.

Good Luck with your remaining journey.
