Charliewt216: I had my RNY 9 hrs ago & have had very little pain (nothing but Tyelnol since PACU). It

just hurts when I sit up, using my abs. My throat is a little raw from the endotracheal tube, too. I've had zero nausea, & have already drunk 108 oz. of water/protein shakes.< /p>

I thought it would be nice to hear a non-scary story. You might come out of surgery a lot better than you thought, like I did.

Hope all goes well for you.

Glad you are doing well. ????

Insurance finally approved me and I am scheduled for a band to bypass next Wednesday, July 20th! I am so glad to be a part of this July group!

We are having surgery the same day, how are you feeling?
.

I am a tiny bit nervous but mostly excited. I think insurance putting up a fight about covering it has really made me appreciate being able to get it. I am ready to get this weight loss started. How are you feeling as its getting closer?

So I'm getting more nervous. Surgery day is tomorrow and I had trouble falling asleep last night. I was thinking about everything I had to pack and wondering about so much. Rough night. I was hoping to sleep in since today is liquids only day ... but no luck there :/. Are you ready for tomorrow?

Yes. I am ready. I have been waiting for this and I am ready to not be so big. But I am nervous too. Today is liquids only for me too. I am trying to stay distracted with housecleaning and errands. Best of luck tomorrow! It is neat to know I've got a surgery date twin. I hope it all goes well for you and you have minimal pain.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
