May bypass group!

[UsernameTaken 283]

Hi all,

I had my surgery on May 13... I had lap band removal, gastric bypass and gall bladder removal. Recovery has been though... First day wasn't that bad because I slept a lot that day after anesthesia and pain pump. I have been walking a lot as well but still haven't been able to pass gas which is one of the things that need to happen. I did pass my upper GI so I am allowed Clear Liquids. I am pretty swollen so I can't get much down, last night for dinner I had 2 oz of broth and could not fit another 2, it was amazing. So far no nausea or coming which is great. The hardest part is getting up and down from bed or chair because you use a lot of abdominal muscles. When pain meds wear out its not fun so looks like I will be taking those for few more days and I usually have pretty high pain tolerance. As you can see, recovery varies between individuals, my surgeon has also done a great job but my surgery was more complex. Lasted about 2 hours. Just wanted to give you feedback. Hope it all goes well for you have not been hungry yet so still not regretting it even though it's hard right now.

hi im May 24th also...New lenox, ILL...im excited but so nervous

I'm in Buffalo, Ny. I started my 2 week diet yesterday and it is going okay! I really want to eat something crunchy, but it'll all be worth it in the end!!

The two week liquid diet can be a boy challenging. Trust me I went through some true emotions with it. It really showed me my dependency I had with food. I'm 9 days in and I have to admit it does get better.

well I had the last of my preop appointments yesterday. They did an ekg, some bloodwork, pregnancy test etc. I met with surgeon and anesthesiologist and multiple nurses and the nutritionist. So now I am just counting down the hours! On Monday morning I go in at 750am and will have surgery at 950! My bff comes to visit tomorrow and we are going hiking and then I am clear liquids on Sunday. I can't believe it is almost here!

I just had my surgery done by Dr. Brethauer at the Cleveland Clinic on May 9th!
