New TONS of questions Surgery Nov/Dec

[elizabet33 12]

Hi All

I have a genetic disorder called achalaisa its rare and NO fun cause violent vomitting episodes malabsorption issues weakness and can lead to cancer. The original surgery to correct this is very risky. Due to my weight I can do a modified bypass that will accomplish the same thing but is safer for me. So I am being fast tracked which is good but everything is happening so fast and I have so many questions. My tentative surgery date is November 21st they might move it but no later than December. So here are my questions:

How quickly are you up and about after surgery?

Does wearing a binder or something Spanx like help after surgery like it does after giving birth?

On average how much weight do you lose the 1st month? By 3 months?

How quickly can you exercise after surgery?

What are your best tips to prevent saggy skin?

Do cravings go away after surgery?

How do family & friends react as you lose weight? I haven't even begun and have gotten some odd reactions.

I am sure I have a bazillion more questions but thats good for now

The short answer is that everyone is different and no one person will have the same result or the same answer to give you. The best and the safest answers come from your Bariatric surgery and nut. Even though you do have an illness if this is moving to fast you might want to consider postponing until you have your answers and feel 100% comfortable. This is just as much mental and emotional as it is physical.

Thank you for your reply what is a nut? My doctor has been good but I wanted real life feedback from people who have actually experienced it or are about too. Postponing isn't an option because my condition gets worse as time goes by sooner is better Healthwise.< /p>
