Congratulations! My RNY was on 8/8/5 and I'm still having a great deal of pain in the left side of my abdomin. Getting in and out of bed is painful. I came home the 2nd day alone, so here's my solution for wiping. Get one of those red water bottle kits that have the tubing and sprayer on the end. About $8 at Longs. Fill it with warm water, hang it on the shower rod and use the srayer to rinse yourself (hopefully your toilet is next to your shower). It has a shut off valve at the end to stop it from running until your ready to use. Works great and alot less humiliated than having someone else wipe your butt. Best of wishes on a speedy recovery and big weight loss to come!

Hello, We had surgery the same day! Today is the first day I have been online. Came home from the hosp on Monday. I can't sleep lying down yet, and still very sore on my left side. I think I will feel 100 % better once I get the drain out of my side. Hang in there... Susie

Hi, I am now 1 week post op. I am not in any pain from the surgery itself. I some how encountered a stomach virus. I feel awful. I have fever, chills, sweats, vommitting and severe diarrhea. I wish I could get more in but I have very bad nausea. I was eating well before so I hope I will be better soon. Rose

you should get that checked is the word. I have chills and sweats and some vomiting When I get up in the nightI have all this phelm to deal with and that appears to wake me up and i am coughing alot, infact i think the coughing thing wakes me up its like I am drowning I sleep sitting up so I don't drown in my phelmy cough. Maybe I have a cold from the hospital or a switcher or what ever. Its a real hassle. I tried pea soup, but pucked it all up right away. I really don't want to go to my dr. to get scoped, its like 4 hours away and I Hat the hospital. I had my surgery on 8/11 and have only lost 10 lbs, i am not doing things right? everyone else is like losing 20lbs of course I did only have about 70lbs to lose max but still... oh please advise thanks lisa
