July 2023 buddies

[egirl 2]

I just had my RNY gastric bypass on June 29th. Most days I have felt great. Today, at 5 days, I have been experiencing severe pain in my left shoulder. I was told these pains were from the gasses put in my body for the surgery. I was planning to stay off the scale for the most part. However, I weighed myself today. I haven't lost anything! I have followed the full Fluid plan that I was given. It scares me to see no huge loss!

i’m home as well doing great minimal pain. starting to feel the discomfort of the largest incision, which they told me would happen, but it’s definitely tolerable. tried a sip of a shake yesterday it didn’t feel great so i’m going to try again today day 3.

I think going on previous surgeries I’ve had the Fluid from the iv bags have to get out of your system. I had surgery on Monday and I was up 12 pounds when I came home from the hospital. Almost all of that is gone now. Hoping it starts going down for real now 😊

Hi! My surgery is July 24 and I’m so anxious every time I think about it I feel like my heart is going to pounce out of my chest. My pre op appointment is July 12.
I’m a transplant (from Ohio) to the Nashville TN area.
Look forward to connecting and learning.
Happy 4th!

Welcome! My surgery is the 25th. I'm a bit anxious as well. Are you getting surgery in TN or OH area?

:) It will be done in TN. I now only got Ohio to visit family 😉
Nice to know someone else is anxious.
Where are you getting yours?

[Midwest Grateful 48]

My surgeon just changed my surgery date to July 25th (from the 27th). Anyone else scheduled for the 25th?

Hope all the July buddies are off to a great start! 😊

My surgery date is the 17th of July, in Texas at the University Hospital in San Antonio.

That’s great how are you feeling that it’s getting closer. I am in Virginia and I am having it at Uva hospital. I think I am more anxious than nervous and worried about the pain. ALot of people describe there pain differently

I'm actually in Indiana. But I love TN! Counting the few days left before the liquid fast.
