RNY tomorrow! How are other January post-ops doing?
Trying to get through the Miralax/Gatorade pre-op bowel prep for my RNY tomorrow. Yuck! First (and last) time I'll ever drink Gatorade; it's gross! I was pretty nervous over the weekend but now I'm feeling calm and ready to go. I'm the first patient in the morning, so we're due at the hospital at 6 AM. If any of you happen to be up at 7:30 AM EST, I'd appreciate any prayers and positive thoughts you could send my way.
For those of you who've already had your surgery, how are you doing? Feeling OK?

Well at least you had to do Miralax and Gatorade. I am on Rx for a bowel kit I have to take tomorrow before my surgery, and liquids all day. I will be praying for you and I am sure things will be just fine! 
My surgery in right in between yours(20th)! So good luck on the recovery!

Hi,
My surgery was last Friday and I got home last night. I had been fighting a fever and nausea all weekend and most of the day today. Its true what they say, walking makes you feel better. In the hospital, you drag the IV around with you. I feel much better tonight. There is no pain from the insicions.

Hi everyone! I had my RNY on Jan 15th at 4pm....I didn't have to bowel prep but I was clear liquids for 2 days. I had some major nausea in the hospital. I was discharged home at 2pm the next day. After I was able to walk and take in enough fluids, I was set free! I was very uncomfortable in the hospital. The bed was not my favorite!!! I was very puffy after surgery from all of the fluids so I am refraining from weighing myself just yet. My first post-op appt is tomorrow....1.5 hrs away!
Good luck to everyone! You will be in my prayers!
Good luck to everyone! You will be in my prayers!
I had my surgery Jan 5th. I feel 110% back to normal...I say this because the amount of energy I have gained from losing weight has been incredible. If somone had told me there was a potential to lose 45 lbs in 2 weeks I would have told them they were CRAZY! I had a bit of pain in the begining, but otherwise it was completley tolerable. Now, nothing hurts and I'm inbetween pureed foods and starting solids. Its fantastic. You'll be in my prayers for a safe and easy recovery!
I am doing very well since January 6th, lost 29lbs so far maybe more by now. Just hang in there you will be fine. Walk in the hospital as soon as you feel like it. You will slowly start feeling better as you heal. I made it ok and I know you will. I will pray for you. Keep me posted ok. Good Luck! You will be fine...
