I had gastric bypass on Monday and just came home from the hospital. So far I have had no major issues such as nausea or vomiting.. Still very sore from my six small incisions and i had a low-grade fever when i got home.. My surgery was done lap. So far it going well. It's actually very hard having to be constantly eating albeit very little.. Anyway thought I would join and get some support.

Hi all,

I am new to this forum site and one month ago my sister was done with Mini-Gastric Bypass surgery. Now she is completely fine.

Can any one tell me what are the precautions she need to take?

Thanks in advance.

Is she on a pre op diet? If so her NUT should have provided her with some literature on what to eat. I'm not sure of her plan and I'd hate to tell u wrong. Every surgeon has diff plans. If u can tell me kinda what her lines are I can give u some ideas of what I try to stick to.

Welcome... take time to rest and heal, do what your surgeon tells you to do and you will be fine. What got me up and about and back to work in 1 week was lots of walking and rest, I also took my pain meds as instructed. Your body heals faster when you are in no pain so take those meds. its easier to control pain when it first starts but when it gets out of control nothing will help.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
