Mine was the 14th

Hi, mine was the 14th also. How are you doing?

[Mrs.Solis 20]

@HMM1216 so sorry that you have to experience negative feedback , honestly everyone will have an opinion. My biggest thing is cutting the negative out and trying and focus on the positive that you have . There is always going to be those type of people but try and stay focused and remember why it is that you are doing… for yourself . And we are all here as well to support . Good luck 🍀

Newbie here Gastric Bypass surgery scheduled for Wednesday 9/21. I’m on day 2 of the clear liquid diet and todays been harder then yesterday. I woke up with a Migraine and it won’t go away! I can only have plain Water, apple juice, protein2O, Jello, popsicles and low sodium chicken broth to drink/eat and the chicken broth doesn’t wanna stay down. I also only told certain family members and someone got lose lips decided it was her job to tell everyone and there mother so I have a lot of negative opinions being voiced to me. Someone even contacted my fiancé with a long list of complications and all the stuff that can go wrong and how there uncles wife’s sisters daughters cousin died from the surgery and now he’s even more scared something is going to happen to me! I guess it’s just the pre-surgery craziness 🤦‍♀️

Luckily most people I told were very excited and supportive, but the ones that weren't and also had some distant relatives friend due, I just said "people die getting their appendix out too" maybe a lil dark but can't argue with the fact.

My surgery is tomorrow morning (Sept 20) bright and early at 5:30 am. After the first surgery date was canceled at the last minute I’m so happy this day is nearly here. Excited to start this next part of the journey!

[Garfield1987 20]

Surgery is tomorrow. I’m terrified. Anyone on the same boat? I hugged my kid a little bit tighter than usual and I am ready to get to bed. Congrats to all who have gone through it and good luck to the rest of us . ❤️

[Mrs.Solis 20]

Good luck @Garfield1987 and @JoshCanDoIt you guys got this !!!

Hi September Friends! Question...I had my RNY on 9/14/22 and am doing pretty well for the most part. The only issue is that I'm still having quite a bit of pain on my left side, near the largest incision. It's not the incision that hurts, it internal. Anyone else experience pain that seems to be lingering? Or is it maybe normal?

I am and I have a surgical site infection. Everyone else seems to be on to Tylenol, heading back to work and doing fine and I am still barely getting around. If it seems abnormal, don’t hesitate to check it out.

Several of us have had the pain you describe. I asked my nurse about it and she said that’s likely the incision where the stomach and/or any other parts were extracted and that it has very deep sutures inside. It is super painful but I’m 12 days out and it does improve!
