|  Two Day Post-Op Roux-En-Y
I had surgery Feb 1st, around 7am. Everything went perfectly, no complications. Same day recovery wasn't bad at all, same night recovery wasn't bad, but not that great. Yesterday was a little rough, & last night kinda rough but manageable. Today has been just fine.
I still have tons of gas in me & that's the only thing that's been a 'problem' (more like annoying). My back also hurts, but that's because I slept in the recliner last night. My icsions pretty much only hurt when I stand up, or sit down.. but that's obviously expected.
I'm having a difficulty getting in all the liquids I need to but trying my best. But what I'm most excited about is I'm less than 100lbs away from my goal weight!  |

Congrats! Sounds like about right to me. Keep walking and sipping... rest whenever you can. Sounds like you still have gas inside working its way out from the surgery. (But I am not "medical" just talking from experience.)
Now you are ready to begin a most wonderful adventure. WTG!

Just wanted to do another follow up post being the website is back up and running.
Its been a week tomorrow since I had surgery and I'm doing great! All together I've lost 26lbs. I'm still sleeping in the recliner, however last night I moved to the couch finally and it was okay; I'm just ready to be back in my bed with no pain or discomfort. THANKFULLY, most of the gas in me is gone (still occasional farting & burping). For people scheduled for surgery, this is one thing I wasn't fully aware of: the gas inside you from when they basically blow your stomach up for surgery. The gas will make you VERY uncomfortable (when I laid down too long, the gas moved to my chest, making it difficult to breath.) Just listen to your nurse; When they say walking will help, it truly will.
When I leave the house, I usually just wear a zip up hoodie & shorts... Well, today I put on the hoodie & I could tell its about time for a new one already. it's not too big, but it's definitely looser. So I decided I'll go buy a new one this weekend as another step to being my new self.
I finally got back behind the drivers seat two days ago and it was okay, definitely won't be making any long trips soon.
I went to Bestbuy today and I was having difficulties keeping up with how fast the saleslady was walking LOL. I'm still in a little discomfort but that's obviously expected considering I'm six days out of surgery.
All in all, I'm still 110% happy with the surgery.
Also thank you for the support, everybody!
