Topic: RE: Had my RNY yesterday!
Had mine yesterday too...and I am in the same boat as you. Pain under the ribs on the left side, but other than that I feel great. They had a little trouble while I was in surgery putting in the central line, but I don't remember that. I was out like a light! My surgeon came in today and looked at me and said "Are you sure you even had surgery?". I told him that he was there, he should tell me. 
Glad to hear you are doing well. We are surgery sisters now. LOL. I get to start clear liquids tomorrow. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

Topic: Had my RNY yesterday!
Hey everyone! Had my RNY yesterday at 11am... I am feeling pretty good,except for some pretty intense gas pain on the left side right under my ribs! Other than that, a-ok. Had a couple times where I was nauseous and they quickly gave me something to take that away. Morphine just makes me sleep so that's all I did last night. About 430 this morning, I took my first little walk and I've taken 4 walks since then (going a little farther each time). My husband is here visiting now and he's been great. He brought the laptop in so I could leave an update. Thats about it. I was worried for nothing. It's really been no big deal! Surgery was done in 50minutes my surgeon said and I get to go home tomorrow morning. I am handling water, jello, tea and broth just fine. And I am NOT hungry at all. Good luck to all the other Aprils!!
Topic: More tidbits
4 days of Fluids left! I go to the gym and aquasize as much as i can, what is everyone else doing for exercise? Working out isn't my fav, but feels soo good afterwards! Can you still go to the gym after surgery? At least the treadmill? Whats the general wait time for exercising/swimming? Trying to build as much muslce and do alot of cardio and hopefully wont have as much skin afterwards.. I had heard alot of water is key as well! I looove my wii fit, wasn't able to use it when i first bough it, exceeded the weight limit for the balance board, but is my best friend now! its portable, and soo easy to take with me anywhere.
Topic: RE: Anyone else having RNY on the 22, or that week???
I think we all should be 'surgery pals', compare progress and anything else that comes up! I am so exccited to be taking this step to my new life!
Topic: RE: surgery scheduled.. now i'm freaking out!
I also think positive thoughts really help. 'know' there will be no complications and believe it. Sending hugs.
