Update: I was discharged after a two night stay. I was supposed to have gastric bypass and gallbladder removed, bypass went perfect but my liver was too large to get the gallbladder out. After surgery I was in and out of it for the day, awoken multiple times throughout the night for meds, vitals and machinery beeping. Second day/night was much smoother was able to drink protein shakes and as much water as I could take, the shoulder pain from the gas is intense so be prepared for that. I did get up and start walking as much as possible as soon as I could post-op. I'll be starting a blog to track my personal progress story and look forward to making contacts here as well to get informed and to help inform along the way!

Hello all, brand new here. I go in for gastric bypass tomorrow AM (8/6). Slightly nervous as this is my first surgery ever but looking forward to the adventure that follows.
