SINGING 5 days post op sleeve to bypass revision....or nah?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!! I am scheduled for a revision from sleeve 2 bypass on december 27th 2016 . I am 4 years post op and have complications and going to get relief soon. I am supposed to perform with my church on New Years Eve! Just singing a song or two. I am wondering POST OP PAIN how well do you guys think I’ll be able to hold up?

I UNDERSTAND it is MAJOR surgery everyone heals different and the reason I am asking is because 11 days after my sleeve I rode from Connecticut to Ohio for my brothers wedding and was dancing and partying all night with my family for a few days. I was fine! I had minor pain but nothing major at all. Anyways thoughts opinions anyone? i heal pretty well.

I hate asking questions like this but whatever its random and that’s what the board is here for haha thanks!!!!

I didn't have any pain (although some people do), but I was super tired. Not sure I could have done that four days after surgery, but then, everyone's different

I had a bypass and had very low energy but was out weeding my flowerbeds two days after surgery!! No pain but did manage to rip my staple out from the left side which I think was the drainage hole anyway!!

I had a bypass on a Wednesday. I was grocery shopping on Saturday and back to work on Monday. I never took pain medication after leaving the hospital. Barring complications, you should be fine.

I had very little pain with my bypass and went back to work in 7 days ( a desk job) the worst was the gas and gas x really helped with that. however I was super tired. perhaps if you can have a stool or chair etc or at least not have to climb up on risers etc it might be better. best of luck and I know you will do fine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
