My Gastric Bypass - It's a done deal!
I went in to the hospital yesterday at 0930 for my Gastric Bypass surgery. Was scheduled to be in the OR at 1100. Well, that was the plan anyway! I finally got in at 1530 and was out at 1800, a new member of the RNY club! The surgery went very well and I was feeling no pain... until today when I got home! No more IV drip…

Upset tummy... only four days out
Having a rough day. Feeling nauseous and have a headache. I had 1/4 cup of protein drink and just enough water to take four morning meds. I crushed one of them, but the other three were smaller than an eraser, so I took them whole one at a time three hours ago. I'm so paranoid of dumping that I haven't tried anything else.…

First full day home post-op...
First full day home after RNY and uncomfortable but not bad. I didn't sleep that well last night... lots of getting out of bed to pee. But I'm counting on a better sleep tonight! The post-op air bubbles seem to be subsiding this evening and that helps a lot. I've been able to burp and pass gas! I am having a hard time…

Surgery tomorrow! Nervous today!
I'm excited/nervous/fidgety/impatient today. I report to the hospital tomorrow, August 19, at 9:30am for my RNY gastric bypass surgery! I know it will go well, but oh... the anticipation! I'm trying to keep busy, but I just have no concentration today. I. AM. SO. READY. TO. SAY. GOODBYE. TO. THIS. GUY!

Hypoglycemic episode...
I had another hypoglycemic episode at 3am this morning. Fortunately it woke me up. I was clammy, sopping wet, and a bit disoriented. The sweat was literally rolling off me. Got up and did a blood sugar test which read 58. Drank a pint of orange juice and a tablespoon of peanut butter and stayed up until my glucose made it…

Just joined this group...
Hello all... I'm James. My gastric bypass surgery is scheduled for August 14, 2014 and I'm doing my two-week clear liquid diet now. Actually I started a few days ago... I think I must be anxious! As you all know, it's a long trek with a lot of hoops to jump through. For me it's been a year since my first visit with the…

Today is the day...
I'm taking one more shot at dieting before I seriously consider gastric sleeve surgery. I've had three doctors highly recommend the surgery, and I've done quite a bit of homework. I know that even with the surgery, it still takes will-power and determination to follow through for the rest of my life. I'm having a hard time…
