Lahey 4 Posted June 11, 2016 Hey folks I had the surgery on 6/9 and went home the very next day I feel really good is this okay? Gas is the only issue but I've been able to manage. Im already driving and drinking my fluids is a little bit of a challenge but if I take my time I can get it in. One of my tips for any newbie is to make sure you get plenty of exercise right before the surgery. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ironpoorer 88 Posted June 11, 2016 Your story parallels mine; a bit of gas the night after surgery; released next day. Good enough to go shopping for broth and Vitamins the next day; drove 6 hours home the next day and back to work on the next day Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdejong 30 Posted June 11, 2016 Not an issue at all. I was walking the halls the day of and went home the next day. I used the pain meds only a few days then tapered right off. The only issue I had the first week was what people call head hunger but that dissipated within a week. Fluids went down great and never had issues getting my Fluid and Protein goals met. It's perfectly normal to have a text book recovery. Embrace and enjoy it. Success will be greater if you simply do exactly as your doctor and NUT tell you too. Good luck and happy weight loss my friend. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
