Hi I was band over gastric bypass August 25 2015 yesterday. Got out of hospital today. I had 5 small incisions . My stoma from gastric bypass 14 yrs had stretched and slightly enlarged pouch made me gain 90 lbs back. Lost 10 lbs pre op diet so that made a slight difference. So now after my surgery about 30 hrs ago. I have sever pain in my shoulders too. It's the gas I am walking around my house and did religiously during my overnight stay in hospital every 2.5 hrs . But I feel flushed in my face. Not hungry thank god but had a scrambled egg with a drop of extra virgin olive oil. And. Later a protein shake 1 cup and water that was it for my 2 meals at home . I am on pain killers and Gasx chewable a and Pepcid chewable . So I have not passed a bowle movement in 3 days a little worried . But I guess it's normal .

Hi just had mine done yesterday August 25-2015 at mercy hospital in Rockville centre , New York in Long Island with dr. Holover. Everything went fine of course I was scared to death but I knew I was in good hands . I had gastric bypass 2001 lost 145lbs in a year , had 6 diliatation for restricted stoma which caused severe vomiting ) then stopped losing I was 40 lbs from my goal. I slowly regained a total of 90 lbs over 14 years (had 2 kids also during that time) I did not have good guidance at the time no nutritional counseling after so made many mistakes with my food choices and went back to my old habits. But the worst thing I did was drink while I eat a meal which cause me not to be full and ate more . Anyway that as the past. So know I had lap band over gastric bypass yesterday stayed overnight in hospital. This time I am 42 yrs old and looking forward to finally hitting my goal weight . I did lose 10 lbs from pre op shake diet in last weeks. So surgery day I was 80 lbs over the originally 145lbs I had lost 14 yrs ago. I want to lose 120 lbs this time . I am very tall lady 6 feet, so my goal is 180lbs. I struggled all my life with my weight . I need support this time from my family friends and from this site.
