Gastric Bypass Yesterday

  • Popular Post

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.

  • 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.

  • Yes it is????

Thank you for sharing. I anticipate hernia repair and bypass mid April. I remember the need to walk after having c-sections and you have reminded me.
I hope you are doing well, and thank you again.
