Hello...I live in Baltimore, MD and I just had gastric bypass surgery Friday, July 17th. I did very well and was able to go home the next day. I am able to walk, go up and down stairs, and sit upright position in a chair. There is not a lot of pain, but I am uncomfortable from the gas. I have yet to make a bowel movement or burp. I have been practicing my breathing exercise with my pump. I have to remind myself to drink more frequently because I'm just not hungry or thirsty.
