My one year post op before and after pic
You look amazing, and I feel you on the replacement pain. Ha ha I had my right hip totally replaced and hoping that the RNY on monday will delay the left hip.. I know it wont stop it.. but hoping to delay it as I'm still "young" enough haah. But knowing that I can survive that and you said the bypass was cake compared, makes me feel better about Monday.
Thank you! Yes the pain and recovery period for the gastric bypass is so much easier than it was for the knee replacement. The gastric bypass took a while to adjust to for the eating part, that part was rough for me for a while. At the time my surgeon had me on full liquids for 4 week, pureed food for 4 weeks and then soft food for 4 weeks before moving to regular diet. Not gonna lie that was tough, especially the 4 weeks of liquid. (My surgeon has since revised his plan to 2 weeks of each stage). I am sure you will breeze through it! Good luck!
