My surgery was 5/28/2003. I had my 2 week post op visit tuesday. Since then, I have devloped a hard lump about 4 inches long, 3 inches wide right at the incision line right above the belly button. It pulls when I sit up and the tummy is warm to the touch although I am not running a fever. Any similar experiences out there ???

I finally do believe I am going to live. Went for for 2 week post op visit Tuesday and found out that I an hypo-glycemic and anemic. OH Boy more vitimans. In all fairness they did an open gastric bypass, a gallbladder removel and repaired 2 hernia's. I just wish I didnt feel so weak and sluggish. I see postings where people are full of energy and I just don't feel it. My back has been in constant pain since I got home too. At least the Dr. did educate me that they make an adult strength Tylenol. ok, I cant sit here any longer. Just needed to vent. Thanks

Donna, I had my surgery the same day! Lap RNY, it went extremely well. I'm having some trouble with the protein drink, but have to manage until Tuesday when we get more money, before I can buy any more drinks. Sigh..I am not having any trouble getting liquids down, just the protein. How are you doing?

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. You are not alone in having your surgery postponed. My surgery was suppose to be 05/19/03. I came down with walking pneumonia a week before. Now I have to wait till 06/19/03. I know how you are feeling. I was so depressed and felt so uptight. As the days pass you will feel better. Please take care of yourself. Keep yourself busy and the time will fly Sincerely, Christine Abrams
