Im a post-op

Yup! All done. My belly is way sore and I had bad nausea last night from the pain meds because I had no food in me. But now Im drinking Isopure RTD, Italian ice and Jello, So I dont get the nausea anymore.

Its really hard to get from a laying position to a sitting position. But I do it and Ive been on 1 walk in the halls so far.

The staff is great! My Dr (surgeon) came to see me before my surgery and today. The plan is to send me home tomorrow. I hope they do.. Its getting real boring here and I miss my Tempurpedic bed. Its gonna be a real ***** getting out of that bed, I just know it.



I have a ton of rubes and wires hooked to me

1.oxygen
2.IV for hydration and pain med (the buton I can press)
3.Catheter (I can't wait to get this thing out.
4. On Q pain buster
5. EKG monitors with a BIG box. I think its called telemetry?? (spelling)?

Congrat's, and continued success! 

Congratulations - it only gets better from now on in ...

Best advice?   Walk, walk, walk - especially once you get home!

Thanks girls! I cant wait to go homw, There is is a woman here yelling, moaning and saying Help me! shes been doing it all say

Congrats to you on your surgery I TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT THE TEMPURPEDIC !!!! 

I am glad u r doing good. I had mine on 12/5/2011. It was so good to get out of the hospital. It was real hard finding a way to sleep when I got home but I finally figured i out. I was able to sleep on my back with alot of pillows propped under me or on my right side. Good luck and feel free to write if u need someone to talk to

Hey Liz girl--- glad to hear everything went great! I also like the way you detailed your experience, this really helps me with my upcoming surgery. Hey do me a favor, and get well soon, I am so anxious to see the new you!! Congrats and save me a seat on the Loosers bench!

HURRRAYYY!!!! You sound like you are doing great! I had my RNY about 2 1/2 weeks ago and have found this web site to be such a help knowing others are doing this too! Good luck with everything!

Good news!! I had mine on Monday, so I'm 5 days out. Each day gets better and better.  I slept in my recliner one night and by the next night I could lay on my right side again.  Yay for us~ we are on our way to the loser's bench!

Congrats on doing well!
