I had Robotic Gastric By-pass & healed pretty fast. I went home the next day after the surgery. After few days had bowel movement.

i had a hard time eating & drinking the requirement intake. The first 3 months were difficult for me. Eating, exercise & mental state took this time to adjust. It was weird, at 3 1/2 months it was like a light bulb went off, everything started working together!! You'll do great Nana!

It was about 2-3 weeks not long! Start walking immediately, at first just walk up & down your driveway a few times a day, every week walk a litter further, it really helps!

I was DC'd from hospital on day 2 d/t nausea. Once home, I was fine. Incisional pain the worst on right lower quadrant. On day 6, I could finally tolerate it well enough to move on to Tylenol. I needed a little help with stool softners and Miralax, and Day 6 it happened! Guess this was a turning point for me on a few things. Everyone heals differently! Keep walking, drinking, resting and stay the course. All will work out! Good Luck to all....

Is the pain diminishing?? Try & get off pain pills s soon as you can. They will delay your bowel movements!! Are you able to drink your shakes? Feel better & Happy Mothers' Day🌸🌺🌷🥀

Hope your pain gets better soon! Maybe try a ice pack to stomach, put it in pillow case or something. It just helps to numb pain and helps with swelling. This too shall pass!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
