Hi.   I am glad to see so many have had good experiences!   I have to say that I also had good a good experience!   I am a revision (vbg to rny) so my surgery and hospital stay were longer.   The Dr. had to remove a lot of scar tissue so I am very sore.   I still have in some tubes... One will come out next week and one will come out in 5 weeks.   The later is the source of the most pain...   To anyone out there considering Georgetown, KY and Dr. Sonnanstine, they are GREAT!   I am not just saying that.   I had such great care by such friendly and caring people, I didn't want to leave.   Dr. S is fantastic.   He was genuinely happy to report to me that my surgery went very well.  He checked on my often by phone and in person.   The nurses were caring and fun to be around.   I don't think I met up with a single grumpy person... even when I woke up in the recovery room groaning and begging for pain medicine... I imagine I was somewhat melodramatic.   But they got the medicine and kept giving it to me until my pain subsided.   My surgery was Monday morning and I got to come home Thursday evening.   Pain is still an issue but is relived by meds.   So far, I've had not trouble getting in my protein and water.   Also, jello snack puddings (no sugar added 60 calories) are great!

I had gastric bypass on Tuesday, June 9th at Alexian Brothers with Dr. Kane also.  Came home yesterday.  Still have quite a bit of pain.  This is much harder then I thought it was going to be.

Hi Briana! 

Can't answer your question, but I'm scheduled for RNY on the 18th!  I wish you much luck!

i had gastric bypass june 1st, i lost 15 pounds during the first week. thats great im so happy but now here i am well into week two and havent lost a single pound. monday marks 2 weeks exactly and i will weigh again but as of right now i have lost no weight in the last 6 days.  i dont see how thats possible, im following the full liguids diet, i hardly eat anything. is there something wrong with me? did anyone else feel like they stalled so shortly after surgery?
im 5'2" and started at 225 pounds that did put me in the morbidly obese category but  im on the smaller side compared to most bypass patients so i kind of knew my weight loss may be smaller than others who are bigger but a complete stall on week 2?! anyone with any info please help

I was a June 10 surgery and I was home the next night.  I have been struggling with getting liquids down.  Today seems better. I showered this morning so that made me happy!
