Hello all. I had my bypass April 19th. It is no walk in the park but focus on your goal and keep in mind what your reason for doing this is. You will see that you will be glad you did this after you are a few weeks out. It takes quiet some adjusting but you can do it. I am close to 50 lbs lighter. So that is ????. Good luck and l will have a candle burning for you all ☺

Surgery went well! Finally coherent enough to type. No pain yet, but I had a morphine shot just before surgery. Been doing sips of Water since 7:00 in the evening.

Hey everyone! Surgery went very well. I have minor gas pains, but it's not intolerable at all. There's one incision that is a little more sore than the others, but again, my pain is never above a 4. I'm walking and using the restroom pretty easily so that's hopeful. I'm not sure if it's the ridiculous amount of pain killers I'm on that is keeping me comfortable, but I'm very surprised with how well I feel! I got to my room around 1:30 yesterday and just slept off and on most of the day. I ate a Popsicle over an hour or so and have been sipping Water and eating ice chips. The worst pain I've had has been a headache from not bringing my CPAP to sleep with

My doctor says I should be good to go home today, but I'm not 100% sure I want to. I mean yes, I want to be in my on home, but I have 2 little ones and it might be for the best that I take one more day here. After all, I've met my out-of-pocket max, so what's one more night?!

All-in-all, I'm in the 0% regret camp as of right now! Thanks for all the well wishes

My surgery was yesterday at 10. Everything went well. I had trouble waking up from the anesthesia. So I slept a lot. Pain was not bad all. I had what's called the Dr. Mccarty mini sleeve so there is only 2 small incisions, he takes the stomach out through your mouth like an EGD. Less down time. 2 incisions One in my belly button and one below my rib cage. I am in my hotel room and will be driving back home with my kids today. We are in Dallas and ready to get away from all this police shootings. I haven't had trouble drinking except for the very beginning. I couldn't leave the hospital until I passed my 8oz Water challenge. And as soon as got to my room drinking wasn't that big of a deal.

Awesome! What a cool surgery. I've never even heard about that. I'm in Houston, and I already feel the officer shootings are too close for comfort so I totally get it. So glad everything went well for you!

I'm hoping to do the McCarty mini sleeve too! I have a phone consult with him next Wednesday. (I'm in Oklahoma)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
