October 2016 Bypass Buddies?



Recommended Posts

Hi Rosey! My surgery was scheduled for 1:30 PM yesterday but I didn't actually going to Sergie after 630 which meant I was starving and a bad mood LOL woke up feeling good no pain no discomfort and all the stuff was super nice. I live in Monterey County Salinas to be exact so I had a 2 1/2 to 3 Hour Dr. I didn't really have pain until we got home from Fresno thank God for meds! Thank you for your concern :-)

Hey guys! So I've survived!! VSG conversion to RNY. I woke up easily and was feeling great and walking around. I was discharged and my husband and I made the 3 hour drive back home. I woke up this Friday feeling good but annoyed with the drain. Gross. It's been soaking my clothes and just looking nasty. Lol. Around 4pm yesterday I stated feeling sick very suddenly with the chills. Called my Dr. and he said to come back. I did. And I was told that my potassium , Iron, and magnesium levels were very low and I needed to be put thru IV. I just felt terribly. I was finally released a few hours ago. Still feeling a bit weak but I'm glad it wasn't a leak. ????

Hello....I too believe in the same One that created you. I'm scheduled for October 4th. I was hoping to have the sleeve but after my endoscopy, I have a large hiatal hernia so I will have to have the bypass. You can do this! When you are in doubt call on the One who keeps us from falling. I'm praying for you and happy belated birthday!

Hey guys thanx for the support! I once again had to go the the hospital. I have a huge hematoma on the left side of my abdomen. So painful. Warning! Even if you feel good don't over do it!!! To make it worse I caught a cold. I'm not super woman like I assumed I was. I hated calling the Dr on a Sunday morning. Ohh well, healing time an extra 2 weeks

      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.
