4 Days Post-Op - no weight loss, some pics



Recommended Posts

Well at 3pm today, I will be 4 days post-op. I am doing wonderful - Too good to be true. I don't think my Dr even did a RNY LOL. As of yesterday, I was up 5 lbs from the morning of surgery, but I'm assuming that's still the IV retention and gasses in me. I wasn't dehydrated before surgey, so not really sure why the IV would be weighing so much still in me.

Anyhow, here are some pics of the process:

As many bags of fluids i had, then i had a blaster bag to try to make me pee i know i gained prob 15 pounds of Fluid. I was very hydrated before surgery. It took me about 7 or 8 days to lose that Fluid weight.

I wish my "before" tummy picture looked like yours! Lol. I can't see your stats on my phone but your tummy looks pretty good in that picture.

Thank you. I dropped a bunch of weight on the pre-op eating plan. My belly is like Jello but I don't carry the majority of my weight there though luckily.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
