My gastric bypass surgery is on for tomorrow. I am so excited and a little bit nervous. Any last minute advise from anyone? Something that you wish you knew before the surgery that might have helped? How bad is pain after surgery?

I'm feeling pretty good. Pretty much only gas pains... I didn't have tight legs, but I sure have been slow! I don't know if run down is the right word, but I definitely haven't had as much energy...but I'm sure that'll change as recovery continues. Have you been walking? I've been trying to get in a couple of good walks each day...and longer each day, too. BUT...it's been so HOT! Have to walk fairly early and after 8:00PM if I'm going to walk outside. How are you doing? Have you been eating much? I pretty much have to force food down at this point as I'm not really hungry, but I know I need to get some protein in me... I'd be happy to chat off the message board, if you'd like. I think you can find my email in my profile...I'm not sure if it's okay to put it in these messages. I'm very new to this type of thing.

I didn't have problems with burping but I had my gastric bypass on June 10th and I was wondering if your weight is coming off quickly or not? The first few days I was having a problem getting up and feeling really run down. Debbie

i have been out of the surgery for 5 days, and i am having a problems with burping, and i dont know why. i am not eating to much just an ounce, and i am also taking my time in eating i am thinking that maybe it is how i am drinking.......but i dont know if anybody can help me out or is having the same problem i would be very apprecitative, thanks tiffanie

I just had RNY gastric bypass on Wednesday. I won't lie to you...my first night was rough! BUT, everyday has gotten better since then. Trust me, you won't want to walk, but it really does help your body to get rid of the gas they fill you up with and those gas pains were the worst part. Good luck and I'll make sure to say a prayer for you.
