Had RNY Monday, discharged Wednesday. Been doing fine since I’ve been home, no fever, vomiting, nausea, or signs of infection at incisions. I am, however, having worsening pain on the left side of my stomach (near largest incision) when I stand up/walk. When i sit down or am sitting/laying, it’s more of a normal soreness, but the pain I just had walking from my living room to my bedroom was enough to make me cry. It feels like everything is getting stretched too far when I’m performing those movements. Is this normal post-op pain? I’m concerned because it’s worsened as the day goes on. I feel fine otherwise so don’t want to go to hospital unless absolutely necessary.

My bypass surgery is scheduled for June 11, but as it gets closer I am getting even more nervous. My preference is for the sleeve, but my surgeon recommended RNY because of my acid reflux. Does acid reflux worsen for everyone who gets the sleeve? Is it manageable with Prilosec once a day? I think I would be less anxious if I opted for the sleeve, but I’d rather not have to convert to the bypass later.

AHHH makes sense lol. Thanks!

Aren't all sugar-free popsicles colored? I thought that as long as they're sugar-free, it's all good. Starting liquid diet June 4.

I've been on board with the bypass for months, and I think I'm just questioning it since it's coming up so quickly. My hesitation mostly has to do with the increased risk of malnutrition and losing my hair. Plus, I'm a bit concerned about pooping after? LOL those might be silly concerns, but it's what I've been thinking about lately.
