I felt nausea this morning but I think from the pain meds. I am sipping apple juice now and it's lovely. going home tomorrow and can't wait. Surgeon saysbibshould loose about 30kg. I will be happy with that ! I only weigh 98

Hi everyone I had omega loop gastric bypass surgery yesterday. Keyhole thank god. It's a less dangerous procedure to the RNY and I am glad my surgeon chose this for me. You can do some looking at http://clos.net I am 2nd day in hospital 2nd night climbing walls with boredom. I feel good enough to go home but have to wait for the drain to come out tomorrow. So it's all good so far

22nd

my surgery is 26 March. i have to have open procedure due to 3 other ops (band), sleeve, hernia, and scar tissue. I am in Australia. I was able to draw superannuation to pay the out of pocket $9k the rest is covered by health insurance. 10 weeks to go, getting scared. Have dietician still to see and dont have to do fluid pre op diet, thank god...the post op is bad enough!

Mine is 26th March and I am in Australia, mine is being done open surgery very Scared! Any buddies would be great to say stories after and stuff

mine is 26 March I am having open surgery bit scared. Taking 6 weeks off. I am 5ft 4 and weigh 98 kg. I hope to get to at least 60. I am insulin resistant and liver and kidneys failing as I am producing 10 times more insulin than I should. I have had several surgeries and, sleeve and now bypass so have to have open due to scar tissue. Best of luck with yours and keep updating as I will only just over 8 wks to go to a new beginning

got my open surgery for GP on 26 March. Would love a buddy if someone else is also getting open surgery so we can compare stories and support. I weigh 98kg, i am 5ft 4.

um mm the relevance of your post to mine please?????

my surgery date is 26 March. I have to have open surgery as I have prior had band (slipped) sleeve (stretched) and hernia repair. very scared! got all my Vitamins and taking now to be on safe side. Scared of waking up i tend to throw up when i wake up....scared of open surgery and the pain i may be in!

had a bit of a chuckle, there a few spelling mistakes in the book! I have the kindle version. So far is brillant though!

I was very scared -- even wrote goodbye letters to my family the night before surgery. However, my risk if dying from obesity was greater than my risk for surgery. My husband was very worried -- he's been supportive AFTER the surgery. I have told very few people otherwise. I had diabetes (controlled by insulin and pills), high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and high tri with stage 3 fatty liver. I followed the pre-op diet for two weeks without cheating. My liver was still fatty. My surgery was a lap RNY 13 days ago. I didn't die. They also repaired an umbilical hernia while they were in there. So far I am down 37 lbs -- and am completely free of ALL diabetes meds and HBP meds. . Thus far I am complication free. so glad to hear. I was told i wont live next 12 months as my insulin is producing 10 times more than it should and killing my liver and kidneys, i am also insulin resistant. I only weigh 100kg but need bypass to correct the insulin and get rid of the diabeties and repair the liver and kidneys. scary stuff, i too arranged my funeral and letters to family. so glad you are loosing only 13 days into it - well done. Are you on puree food now? What liquids were you on? I still need to find everything out through the dietician 12 march before surgery 26 march. Did you have open or laprascopic?
