I had RNY gastric bypass surgery over 5 years ago. It was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Here is a link to my experiences with the surgery. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

You'll definitely find a goldmine of information here. Read, compare, question, and be a fearless self-advocate. We're here to help if you have specific questions, but no one can give a one-time post that would be enough to prepare you for everything you'd want or need to know. Don't be a stranger here. But do something. Take some action. Today. Right now. It's good that you were committed to exercise in the past because that will be a key part of your post-surgical regime if you decide to move forward. Oh, and.... welcome.

Also ask for a scopolamine patch for the nausea. Stops it dead in its tracks.

Good Luck. I am not sure if posting links to go fund me is allowed here but we all know the struggles of being obese. I hope you find a way to get ahold of your health.

It was actually my doctor who suggested the surgery in the first place, based on my health conditions. I had no trouble getting a referral, though I didn't really need one.

I had novasure ablation and a tubal. Pre bypass was either extremely light or non existent. Since surgery is like I never had it! My surgeon said that while my pcos symptoms are getting back under control they could be like this

Yup. Invasive surgery where gasses are pumped into your abdominal cavity to inflate it will do that LOL. Use your Incentive Spirometer every hour to help reduce the gasses. The rest of the swelling will subside as you heal.

Doing fine but one came through unchanged, since several are the same size I will forever wonder which it was. An no, I did not keep it around long enough for an in-depth interview, it just went bye bye down the River of No Return!✋✋💩

12/27/17, slow loser here but hanging in there. Still have 50 more lbs to lose to reach goal weight. I have struggled with not eating enough to sustain my workouts to just not eating or eating the wrong things(bad carbs). I am getting back on track just have to find a way to eat more calories.

I search on Pinterest and Yummly mostly for Instant Pot recipes. Also this site: 365daysofcrockpot.com (They have Instant Pot and Slow Cooker recipes!) Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app
