The left side is where it feels the heaviest...I've been taking the pain meds and all that makes me so is sleep...I'm ready to be back to normal already!!

I just had surgery on August 5th and I had the bad for a year and got gastric bypass. I am so happy I decided to have this revision because I HATED the band and I am praying that I love bypass. So far so good just in pain :/ haven't lost any weight yet I think it's from all the fluids' date=' it's making me so bloated. Does anyone no when you usually start losing?

Thanks!![/quote']

Hey I had mine on 7/31 and I gained 2 lbs due to the Water weight but if you stick to it now that is been a week I'm down 9 from my sw. Good luck and I hippie this works better for you!

I'm nervously sitting in the waiting room for my pre-op appointment. I've been dreaming about this, because I don't know what to expect. Sx date is 8/27. Hopefully this will go smoothly. Just wanted to share my nerves!

Oh, Mz Shay! I hope everything goes well with the endoscopy for you. I still have my endoscopy on Wednesday, the semi-liquid diet and I have to make certain that I do not have a yeast infection going on in the area where the incisions will be.

Today went ok other than my nerves.

Not sure if what I am feeling is gas pain or not. That's what I think it is...my stomach has a very heavy feeling and the pain also goes in my shoulders' date=' arms and back but I don't feel the need to pass gas...wish this would go away!![/quote']

Becky that's exactly How mine is. And yes its gas. But I'm like u , I don't feel the need to pass it.

Welll today is Friday and I'm still.in the hospital. I've got 66 staples.. 4 or 5 small ones and a big one, from my breast bone all the way down,

Ive gotta learn how much my new poucb holds. I'm getting sick. I drank 1-1/2 little medicine cups of broth n 3 bitses off of popcycle. I've been sick ever since.

Just got home from hospital about an hour ago. I went in Tuesday afternoon. Was supposed to be in surgery at 1:30 but dr was finishing another pt in another hospital. I finally go out of surgery around 8 Tuesday night. Wednesday was a bad day for me. Anything I drank I threw up and then some. I spoke to my dr and he said to just do the Iv for awhile because my stomach was all bruised and swollen. So I did not try any more liquids that day. Then Wednesday it was so much better. I have not thrown up again and I have no pain. My cuts just itch alot. Other than the throwing up, I feel great.

Highest weight 360. pre surgery 313, after surgery 329.
