Kinda/ sort of had gastric bypass RNY surgery today......



Recommended Posts

I went in for my surgery today. Got prepped. Was put under. Had the incisions for the hernia repair and RNY gastric bypass. The surgeon went in.....

And when I woke up they told me they had removed a lymph node and I passingly have lymphoma. I get the biopsy in 3 days....

I am so blessed. Had I not been "opened up" and the surgeon saw it..... They may not have found out until it was too late---or may have not.Found it at all!!!!!!

What a blessing.

The doc said I can still have the surgery in the future and will not need the strict diet because my liver looked so good!!!

Wow. That's crazy. I have an umbilical hernia but Doctor left it. He said it would likely return with all the hanging skin and with that kind of hernia the apron surgery it practically a shoe in with my insurance. So glad they found out and they are taking charge!!

One individual in our bariatric surgery support group was in the final preparations for RNY surgery. He underwent the pre-op testing and a surgery date was set. He was a week away from surgery but then they called him in for immediate surgery - open heart surgery. He was about to have a heart attack.

We saw him at the next meeting after his heart surgery, he had lost some weight and then few months later he had regained enough strength and then underwent the RNY surgery.

Amazing! God works in mysterious ways. My husband's pancreatic cancer was found 'by mistake' - saved his life!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
