Topic: RE: JAN 4TH, 3 MORE DAYS!
Hi all. My surgery was also on the 4th... at 7:30 AM!!! I was just wondering how you were all doing!
I have lost almost 30 lbs and have good days and bad. I have not yet reached that stage where I can say I am happy I have done this... I know that day will come, but it's not here yet!
I look forward to hearing how you are all doing!

Hey....I have been on the Main Board a lot. I am doing fine. No vomitting or anything else. I don't feel swollen anymore. I have a little pain on the left side if I move the wrong way, but that's it. Anything food not agreeing with you? I have tried scrambled egg whites and then a scrambled egg and both times I felt queasy afterwards. I had egg salad and felt fine. Weird, huh? I think I may have eaten the scrambled eggs too fast or something but I am afraid to try them again :)
Doing something every January is a great idea......cruise, Disney....whatever sounds good.
Hope you are doing well.

Topic: RE: RNY tomorrow! How are other January post-ops doing?
Doesn't include 8 lbs lost pre-surgery
Thanks, everyone, for the good wishes The RNY went fine. I was in the hospital for 2 nights and just came home this afternoon. I was only nauseated a couple of times; other than that, the only issues have been incredible gas rumbling around in my belly and being really swollen. Hopefully that will go away shortly. Having a few regrets but I know it's only because I don't feel very good. I know when this gas goes away and I feel more like myself that I will be very happy about it. I was so calm and peaceful going into surgery, so I'm looking deep to find that peace again.
Take care,
Barbara

Hey, all! Depending on where everyone lives - cruises are pretty easy, I would think...just a little pricey, depending on where and how long you want to go. (DH and I are huge cruisers). The other idea is we could do a long weekend in Disney World or Disney Land.... there's lots to do and it would be so much fun..... riding roller coasters, sight seeing, etc. What does everyone else think?

I had my surgery (VBG with sleeve) on January 14th. The hospital staff was amazing! The most pain I experienced was from staying in the same position for so long. I insisted that I be moved or walk about 6 hours after entering my room. It was so unbearable. Like everyone else said, walking will help a lot. I'm still recovering and experience a little stomach pain, but experienced no nausea :-) Good luck with your recovery.
Topic: RE: Isopur, anyone tried it?
I've had a few flavors of the isopure. I thought they weren't too bad. WHen I was on my pre-op diet, they filled me up a bit.
Good luck to you. YOU CAN DO IT !!!!!!

Topic: RE: Surgery Scheduled January 25th
Hi, I'm also getting my surgery done on the 25th. My doctor put me on clear liquids as well. Today I had a case of self doubt and apprehension. I'm getting a little more nervous as the day nears. Are you having any of those feelings. Good luck with your surgery.
