I just had be revision this morning ing from Sleeve to RYNbypass. He also fixed a hiatal hernia. I am walking amd sitting in chair, no drain but omg the headache I would when I got out of Anesthesia wasddeadle, started in neck and took over full head. They have only given me Tylenol and to radial for ( like super inprofen) pain since I woke up from surgery. It has been 4.5 hours now amd I am worried that pain will hit me and I will not be prepared, they said they will give me morphine pill if pain gets bad. What should I do?? Headache is killing me. They did give me zophrane for naseau so I am goood there. They said I will be discharge at 11am unless something occurs. Oh and they just took my blood sugars and it is 179 so they have to give me insulin but I am not a diabetic???? So confused???? HW 324 Lowest 159 Current 229 Goal 154

Anyone having revision surgery this month?? I am Monday, 2/8 and would love to get a group to help accountability like I had in 2012 when I had the sleeve done. Let me know!!!

I had surgery 2/8 and I can keep liquids down and am fine but I have this pressure and pain in my back right between shoulder blades. Directly behind the area between my breasts. Is this telling me I over did it?

I have started a support group on facebook for all of us February 2021 gastric bypass peeps. Message me and I will add you. My surgery is 2/8/21.... tomorrow😀

I have started a private group on Facebook for all of us February revisions to connect and support each other. Message me and I will add you.

I am going from sleeve to gastric on 2/8. Had sleeve in 2012 and am a bit nervous for Monday.

I will share my experience!!

I have surgery on Monday 2/8!!!!

Hi everyone! I had surgery last year 8/6/12 with Dr Brengman, I had the surgery at St Mary's. it was the best thing I have ever done. Love Brengman and Dt Mary's. I have lost 130 pounds in one year. If you have any questions I am happy to answer. I wish you each the best.

I have lost 96 pounds and 86 from surgery date which was 8/6/12. I can't believe it has been 6 months, sooo happy. I do not drink any calories unless I put skim milk in my coffee. I have a protein breakfast bar got breakfast. Meat and cheese stick for lunch and for dinner meat and vegetable. If a have a snack I have turkey pepporoni, beef jerkey, protein chips or apple slices.

I had surgery at St Mary's with Dr Brengman 6 months ago!!! Best thing I have ever done for myself.

Hi all! I have not been on in a while. I had surgery on 8/6/12 and am 5 1/2 months out from surgery. I have lost 89 pounds!!! I live in Chesterfield and Dr.Brengman did my surgery. He was great. He used to be with Commonwealth Surgeons but has opened his own office with his previous partner. I went to the support group at St Mary's and think it is good. I really hope that each of you is doing well, maybe we can all meet up sometime.

I have not regretted it, not even the day after surgery or when I woke up in the recovery room in a lot of pain. It has been 5 1/2 months since surgery, I am down 87 pounds. 10 were from the 2 week preop diet. I am off my cpap machine and blood pressure medicine. I can shop in the regular section for clothing and feel great. I LOVE my sleeve.

Surgery- 8/6 Start weight 308, weight on surgery day 294 Current weight 240 Feel fabulous, not too hungry Need to drink more liquids Losing hair I have not started doing exercise yet, need to get motivated and start walking. I love my sleeve and am so happy!

I was sleeved in the same day as you!! My doc said to never eat more than 1/2 a cup of food at a time, eat only 3 times a day, and do not drink any calories. It has worked for me, I am down 42 since surgery and he is happy with the loss.

I get hiccups every time I eat or drink but they go away after a couple of minutes. I am almost 3 months out and it still happens. I hope your hiccups go away soon. When I asked my doc he did not give me an answer to why I get them.

Congrats! I was sleeved 8/6 and on that date I as 294, today I am 248 so I am down 46 pounds. I lost 12 pounds during my 2 week pre op diet so I am down a total of 58 pounds. I am so happy, started the journey at 308 so to be at 248 makes me soooo happy!

I have not had one since July. I had surgery Aug 6 and have not had a period. Pregnancy test is negative so I am not sure what is going on with my body.

I am 10 weeks out from surgery and under the site where I had the drain hurts and my right side hurts. Not a lot of pain but it is slight. Sometimes radiates to back right side but very slight pain. Has anyone experienced this? What could it be? I have not had any complications and weight lose since surgery is 43 pounds.

Thank you for posting. My sites are totally healed. I have been doing more physically so maybe it is something with that. I am nervous about a leak but was not sure how far out you can still get a leak. My breast on that side is now droopy a little and lays on the area also so maybe that is it. I will call the doc and make an spot in Monday.

I did not feel a thing when they pulled mine out. I had mine in for a week and was sooo nervous about getting it out. The nurse said do you want to squeeze me arm?? I said yes and she took it out and I felt nothing.

I had surgery 4 weeks ago, I have lost 30 pounds and would do it again in a heartbeat. You can go back to work in 2 weeks but I decided to take 4 weeks off. I stayed 1 night in hospital. Took pain medicine for 5 days then stopped. Worst part was the hour after surgery before morphine kicked in and gas pain in shoulder.

Total of 31 pounds down! Best decision I made was to get this tool.

I have not been on line here after surgery so here is my update. I had the sleeve on 8/6 with Dr Brengman at St Marys. He also fixed my hiatal hernia. I stayed 1 night in hospital and did not have any problems. Loved the nurses and had a fabulous experience. I did go to the support group on 8/16 and enjoyed it. The nutritionist is at Dr Brengmans office 1 day a week and you can see her there and not pay extra. Of you see her in the hospital nutrition center then you pay your copay. Tomorrow is 3 weeks since surgery and I have lost 20 pounds, I lost 11 during my 2 week pre op diet which was 2 shakes and a low cal low carb meal each day. I am sooo exited with life!!

Is yogart ok during the 2nd week post op?
