I had gastric bypass about 12-14 hours ago. In alot of pain. Does anyone know how long the recovery time is? My dr says 4 weeks, but I've heard other people say 2. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Just wanted to let everyone know my surgery went great. In quite a bit of pain but I've already done a lap around the floor. Hopefully this will get me home faster! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm on day 3 of my 2 week preop diet. The slightest smell of food is making me want to back out of surgery. I'm on 3-4 protein shakes and 3ozs of lean meat and a serving of veggies per day. I'm scheduled for gastric bypass on December 19th. I really need this surgery, but I'M STARVING! Any suggestions on how I can curb or ignore the hunger pains?

Thank you all. I caved and ate like three bites of Hamburger Helper. I feel so guilty and ashamed of myself. I'm determined to make it to surgery day without another incident!!! Thank you for all the advice! And I'll definitely keep in mind that this is the worst part. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -

I finally got a surgery date. My onoybissue is its December 19th. I have three kids (8,7, &5). Did anyone have issues moving around alot after surgery? I dont want to be stuck on the couch while my kids enjoy Christmas. I wanna be involved with them. Dont get me wrong I love finally having a date, just wish it was maybe a week earlier.

I'm getting more nervous as I near the end of the preop requirements. I'm done with everything my insurance requires to get a surgery date. I have my final consultation appointment on October 1st. I'll get a surgery date after that. My nerves are getting to me as this becomes "real." Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm doing that as we speak. It's just such a life changing surgery and don't get me wrong, I'm definitely ready. I just dont have that great of a support system. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Does anyone have a sample of some of the questions that need to be answered during a psych eval? My therapist wants to make sure she helps me get approved. She just doesn't want to miss anything and mess up my chances. My surgeon is out of town for two weeks or I'd ask him. Just a few examples of questions that need to be answered. Thanks in advance!!!

Thank you everyone, my surgeons nurse emailed me a list of questions they want answered. Thank you for all of your support. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you for your support! Like I said before I was cleared for surgery a year ago but then my sister needed a liver transplant so I cancelled it. My family didn't need to be caring for me when we were losing her. Shes doing great tho thankfully. So I decided it was my turn. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

No it's not that. It's that my psychiatrist has never done one so she asked me to get a list of questions from my surgeon that would fit the criteria. I've been cleared by a different psychiatrist a year ago, but due to issues with my sister's health I cancelled that surgery. I just didn't want to have to go back to the other psychiatrist. He was 2 hours away. And no disrespect taken. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I went through a few visits with them and hated the way I was treated. I'm currently going through UAB in Birmingham AL. I LOVE it there. I'd recommend them to anyone. Let me know if you have more questions. Also they do take out of state insurance. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Anyone having surgery in the Birmingham AL area? I'd like to have a few people that I can talk about anything to that are in my area. I'm willing to exchange numbers or email addresses if so. Doesn't have to be in AL just need a buddy to get through all of this with. I'm in month one of my three month medically supervised diet! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app
