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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
