Welcome! What surgery did you have and how are you doing? I'm having bypass on 8/11 and would love to hear some helpful hints :)

Hi, Lovebug. I'm new here as well, had my RNY on the 24th. Glad I found this community, otherwise there are a few things that I wouldn't have known going in.

Hello everyone sorry for the delay response but I am trying to learn how to use the sites.

Yes I had gastric bypass and I am feeling okay so far. I am happy that I did this and I want to be successful.

As for the helpful hint stick to the eating plan they gave you and drink your fluids. Also don't just lay in bed get up and get moving it will help push that painful gas out from the surgery. Also just follow the food plan and you will do great. Also I log in my foods on my fitness plan and mark it private so no one ask why my calories are so low.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site as well. I had my bypass on July 16th, so far I feel no more pain but still having trouble drinking my Water. I feel like it gets stuck and I have to stop, by the way I am only sipping not drinking to fast. Any word of advise,

Thanks.

      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.
