Day one and doing great!



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery yesterday I was exhausted! Could not even play on my phone. Slept all day off and on, not even interested in TV. Today I'm home and feeling fine. Uncomfortable and rough when I get up, but it is all worth it. Three full weeks after meeting with the surgeon and I'm done. What was excitement is now shock! ????I really did it. I'm unstoppable!

Make sure you do get up and walk around frequently, even if it's only a little bit at a time.

I second the walking. We had to walk 2 miles in the hospital (20 laps) before we could go home. Walking will help so much. Glad you are doing well!

Wow! That was really a quick pre-op! How did you manage that?? Whatever you did, Welcome to the Losers' Bench! Rest a wee bit, take a deep breath and then--GET UP AND MOVE!!!

      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.
