Please Help! I just got out of the hospital (1 week)

from my surgery. I went in for lap rny and came out with open rny with some complications. Has this happened to anyone else? How long until I have had a bowel movement? My pain is okay but I had to wear my G-tube home which hurts a bit. My temp, b.p., labs, all great but I have a different hookup now. Part of my intestine died during surgery and he had to make a new connection in my stomach. I don't really understand it now. I am really worried. So my questions are; Has anyone gone in for lap and come out open, how long until I have a bowel movement, and is anyone obsessed with food--I just know I won't be able to have certain things again and now I can't stop thinking about this. Please help me. Thank you all so much for all of your support!
