Rocky_Mountain_Mama 25 Posted May 14, 2020 My surgery revision from band to bypass was yesterday morning and I got home tonight about 5pm. I’m very sleepy and I will say there is good amount of pain on my left side which is controlled by medication. The biggest challenge I have this early is having a hard time getting comfortable and I have no interest in food. I’m forcing broth and Jello. Last week I couldn’t imagine only eating broth and jello and today, I cant imagine being hungry ever. So weird. Even through the fog and pain, I have no regrets! 6 ms.sss, Doss18, Cia2020 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ndyoung77 142 Posted May 14, 2020 I’m now 8 days post op from band revision to vsg. It’s been a major wake up call for me on the difference of recovery and wanting food. Just remember to drink fluids and it’s ok to be in pain I wasn’t expecting it to be like how it is . Good luck 1 Rocky_Mountain_Mama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck I agree about the difference in surgeries being a wake up call! Band was a much simpler procedure. I was back at work in 5 days, not this time. How are feeling 8 days out?

It kept me in bed for two days for meds to get things back to the beginning again. I’m still trying to get Protein in and I have no problem with fluids just absolutely no energy at all.

Rocky_Mountain_Mama 25 Posted May 18, 2020 Oh no!! A UTI is awful when you’re otherwise healthy, it must be downright unbearable following surgery! I’m so sorry! I’m 6 days days post op today and have my first follow up with the surgeon. My energy just started coming back in the last day or 2. I really hope you’re starting to feel better and that your energy returns soon ((hugs)) 1 PuddinJasper reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
