mssteal216 45 Posted February 10, 2017 I had my bypass on 2/8/17 so far recovery is going good. Will be leaving from hospital tomorrow and heading home. Surgeon said my procedure went very well and couldn't have been any better. I'm very excited to start this new journey!!Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App 6 Grerchen57, NewChiGirl, strengthin#ers and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm preop..March 16th is my date.Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal AppThank you thank you so much. Girl I had them all amazed. After the anesthesia wore off I was up walking from one end of the hall to the other. I was up going to the bathroom and everything. My main scare was developing blood clots again. Last year in in April I had a bullet removed from my right knee from a drive by shooting. That surgery caused me to have pulmonary embolisms in my left lung. I was determined to get up and get moving ASAP so this wouldn't happen again Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App 1 dvmp61 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
