Hello-- I had a questions in regards to being able to go up stairs after surgery. I live in a home where the bathroom and bedrooms are on the 2nd story, so I imagine I will convalesce mostly up there for the first week, but I'm questioning if I should even be attempting stairs a day or two after surgery. Would it be better for me to get a hotel for a week instead?

Thank you all! This has calmed my nerves about returning home after surgery.

Hello- I'm new to posting, but have been lurking around for a couple of months. I made the decision this year to start my weight loss surgery journey. I'm still in pre-op testing and appointments, so no surgery dates, but I've decided to go with RNY vs the Sleeve since I have reflux on a weekly basis, and also for the success rate that RNY had. This year thanks to the pre-op process I've been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, pre diabetes, and Non-Alcoholic Fatty liver, which has really opened my eyes to the damage I'm doing to my body. My levels are not high by any means and I have heard multiple times from my nutritionist that my blood tests shows I'm actually quite healthy, but my family history has diabetes on both sides (multi generational), so I know what lays ahead if I do not do something now. I've been overweight since the age of 9, so it's a scary, but exciting prospect to finally be 'normal' when I enter a room. ANYWAYS -- I want to know -- What conditions did RNY/Bypass cause you to 'Lose' other than just the weight?

I'm enjoying this thread!! I was recommended this from my nutritionist. They are not bad, although I like to add some hot sauce for some extra zing. Another recommendation from my nutritionist: This was really good-- Especially if you LOVE cinnamon toast crunch. I add 1/2 a vanilla muscle milk for more protein instead of regular milk.
