Topic: RE: Had my RNY- lap on the 24th
Welcome home. Besides being tired, how are you feeling now? I didn't start noticing a difference in my jeans until 2-3 weeks out. It all started in my face. Now my jeans feel like they are going to fall off me and I couldn't even button them and zip them before surgery. Hope the rest of your recovery is easy.

Topic: Had my RNY- lap on the 24th
Sorry for the double post from RNY board, but I just found yall! ;)
The surgery went well, but I had to stay double the time because I had a few bouts of bloody runny poos (tmi sorry) so they wanted to amek sure those stopped, and then of course my hemoglobin levels drobbed, so they also wanted to make sure those stabilized. Then I was gettig an awful headache from all the narcs So I didnt get to come home until yesterday afternoon.
So far so good, Ive already lost a bit of weight by my jeans feel the same Im pretty wiped out but Im goin with my mom to the store and Im just gonna ride the auto wheel chair.

Darlene, you are 100% correct. The bowel prep was something that I will NEVER go through AGAIN! That was horrible! I am feeling GREAT! :-)

Topic: PCP appt ???
Upon discharge my surgeon recommended me to see my PCP at one week post op.
Didn't say why. I'm guessing to make sure signs of infection are absent etc... anyone have insight on this? My PCP doesn't even know i was considering surgery let alone had it.
