jtraub12 7 Posted December 27, 2016 Good luck to everyone having surgery today! If I were smart, I would have done it after Christmas as well... but, thinking like that is what got me this way in the first place! [emoji38] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dknal2 1,066 Posted December 27, 2016 How neat that you are so far away yet still able to communicate with us. Yeah the sleeve is the same regardless of where you are. But glad to hear you are doing good. It gets better on down the road so I'm looking forward to that. I was dec 5 as well.... since surgery I have lost 21 lbs. I have some tough Patches but doing okay. How have you been? December 5th I would love to join Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I've been doing Owkay. I'm from Mozambique, but currently studying and was sleeved in South Africa (Cape Town). So the set of Vitamins that mostly people talk about here are totally different this side but the experience is the same at the end of the day,and that is why I joined this forum although I'm from the other side of the world Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wruiz 49 Posted December 28, 2016 My surgery is in 2 days...December 30th. NERVOUS! I was too, and honestly, when I finally woke up I thought to myself, what have I done? But it's been almost 4 weeks.... best decision ever!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christina.Rose 287 Posted December 28, 2016 Dec 30th......scared! Sent from my SM-J700P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wruiz 49 Posted December 28, 2016 You will do just fine Christina, I was sacred and nervous too!!!! But I've had other surgeries before, and this was by far the easiest time I had. Just be sure to get up and walk as soon as you can after and continue moving around, so the gas doesn't settle, that's so uncomfortable !!!! My son (who is an RN at the hospital where I had my surgery) had me up and walking hours after. The worst pain I felt, was like I was kicked in the stomach or like I had done tons of crunches, but that was it, nothing major!!!

Lulu_RNY 80 Posted December 29, 2016 Hey everyone!!! I just had my bypass on the 22nd...although I was SUPER scared the worst of it for me was recovery (night of surgery) next morning was tolerable with some soreness! But I'm a week out and I feel AMAZING! (other than this horrible liquid diet ????) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
