Hey everybody this is gonna be short and quick!!  My surgery went very well.  I walked 4 times yesterday at the hospital and now i think i overdid it because Im in a lot of pain and just want to sleep now that I am home.  I want to thank Darcie for coming to see and sorry if I kept wanting to fall asleep.  Thank you to my angel!!  Also want to thank jami for calling me to check on me.  I dont know how many incisions people who have had RNY but I have 6.  I honestly forgot to ask how many but that seems more than what I thought!!  But anywho I want to thank everybody for your thoughts and prayers and will post later in the next few days when I am more up to it.  Thanks again to everybody!

Like Melissa said - we aren't going anywhere - we'll be right here when you're ready to post and fill us in on the details. I had 6 incisions as well. Keep sipping and walking and best of luck for an uneventful recovery.

Hey Amanda,

Don't worry you'll be feeling better before you know it.  I had six incision sights as well.  They are really small and you don't really see them to much after a while.  The first few days are rough but it does get better.  Walk - it really helps.  To me walking worked best and I didn't have to use the pain medicine.  Of course everyone is different.

Take care and keep us posted.

Unfortunately, I had to delete this message due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Welcome home Amanda.  remember the rules of walk walk and sip sip and rest when you need too, you will be fine.  I also had 6 incisions and I think that is how many they generally do unless you have it open of course.  Welcome to the losers bench.
