Had my surgery yesterday morning. I've been sleeping on and off. Waking every ten to push pain med button. Other than that all went well.

Gastric bypass was at 2 pm yesterday andi have to say that while it was quite a bit more painful than I was expecting, I feel a lot better over all than I thoughti would! So far I have almost no nausea and I'm able to walk fine. But holy cow the dry mouth is real! Luckily they let me suck on a few pieces of ice every hour. Peeing is such a pain, wiping more specifically . I can't believe this is real! This really happened! I want to use this hospital time to reflect on what serious changes I need/want to make with my diet. I cheated on my preop diet a few times but I made sure to get right back to it which I never did in the past. Gotta keep moving forward now!

Also did anyone else who had the surgery already get a drain?

Good luck to everyone going in. I was so terrified, and now I'm so freaking happy!

I had my RNY in August of last year, so if you ever want someone who is a year ahead of you to give you pointers/advice/commiseration, feel free to message me. Good luck! :)

Currently, I am going through the process. I have been going through this alone and would also like a buddy or mentor that can provide me with advice and share with me thejr experience experience. Thanks very much.

@ inspyrdbyu - THANK YOU SO MUCH! That means so much to me :) I called my insurance and surgeons office and both said they had nothing to do with the hospital and their billing. I called the hospital but keep getting their voicemail. I have a number to call between 3-6pm to confirm my arrival time tomorrow so I'm basically just sitting here waiting for that. Hoping for the best!

I called the hospital at 3 and they told me to be there at 11am and my surgery is scheduled for 1pm so as of now..I'm showing up! Don't feel guilty, enjoy! If I don't get on here tomorrow, I wish you the best of luck as well! I hope your surgery goes very well and I look forward to hearing about how great you feel! :)

Good luck! They will not cancel surgery at this point! They'd lose far more $ canceling then you could ever owe! Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride!

They aren't letting me start Clear Liquids today because my stomach is still too inflamed and it takes 10 very uncomfortable minutes for 1 small sip to go from the top of the stomach to the bottom of it. Of course they had already brought me the broth and Jello right before my test so now it's just sitting there starting at me and smelling gooooooood.

Good luck, Pink Ninja! I'm going in the 8th. I've got some nervous energy, but I'm just taking things one moment at a time.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
