Looking for others that had surgery on or around 9/25

Hi everyone!  Just looking for people around the same surgery time frame as myself!  I had Gastric Bypass on 9/25 and would love to hear how everyone is doing that had their surgery around the same date!

Thanks!!!!  Whitney

Hey Whitney,
I had my surgery on 9/29 and I went home last night (30th).  I feel pretty good.  I do have LOTS of gas though - any thoughts on what I should do?  I haven't gotten on the scale yet and probably won't for a couple of days.  I think I"m afraid - LOL  How are you?

Wow you must be doing well to be on the computer already!  I am still pretty sore and "out of it".   I switched to Tylenol today from the prescription pain meds.  I just feel like I have to sleep every few hours!  Let  me know how you do.  Oh and for gas I used those Gas X strips I read about on here.  I still get burps and hiccups too sometimes. 

So nice to hear from you!  Keep me posted!!! Whitney

take chewable gas x.

my  surgery was on 9/24

I had gastric bypass on 9/24. I'm doing very well. I expect to go back to work tomorrow.

Take care

 Congrats, Heather! I had my surgery on the 22nd and am also doing very well. Will be going to my first post-op check on 10/7.

I had to go in yesterday. Will see the doctor again in two weeks. I'm glad you are doing so well.

 Thanks, and how are you doing? Was your visit yesterday just a routine follow-up?

WOW going back to work tomorrow????  How do you feel?  What do you do (if you don't mind me asking)?  That's GREAT!!!

Tomorrow might be a tad too soon.. but I wanted to work two days and then have two days off and then next week I have wed or thursday off for Yom Kippur and then I have off for Columbus day. I specifically picked this time of year so I could take advantage of the working with having days off every few days.

I am the Asst. to the Director of a writing program at a state university. It's mostly a desk job. I expect to be tired and to have to take it easy. My assistant knows I just had surgery (although most of the instructors don't). We'll see if I make it through a whole day. :)

I'm lucky - I've had mostly manageable pain. I haven't taken anything the Dr. sent home with me and even in the hospital stopped the IV pain meds after 2 days. I didn't like how groggy I felt and they gave me a headache. The meds also allowed me to "do too much" which made me hurt more. When I stopped taking the meds, I was aware of when I was straining/hurting and then just rested. That seemed to help me a lot.

Good luck. I hope you start to feel better quickly!
