surgery

Hi all, my surgery is scheduled for May 16th. I don't have a lot of support, and don't know a lot of what i should know! Its like my dr forgot to give me some info packets or something lol I have a bunch of questions I'll be looking for the answers for here.

Hi all! I had gastric bypass surgery yesterday. I’m doing pretty well. Checked all the boxes to get discharged tomorrow morning. I have a question for anyone. What do you wish you had known or wish you had the first couple weeks post op?

I am anxious and seething right now. I need to rant about it. Kaiser sends emails via there system the day before surgery to give you the time of your check in. I got mine, skimmed it for the important information (check in time and current visitor policy) and didn’t notice it has the wrong...

I began the journey of surgical weight loss the last part of 2020/the first part of 2021. Thus far, I have attended a seminar on the different type of surgical procedures, met with the surgeon to discuss my specific situation, the nutritionist twice, the exercise physiologist and completed the...

@ Ann Arbor VA hospital. Sleeve gastrectomy

Hi! I am new here, I started my pre-op process, so I will have my surgery in about 3-4 months. I am still doing my research and I just can’t decide if I want sleeve or bypass. Can you guys please share your experience with both: complications, malabsorption, discomfort. Everything, good, bad...

I was all set for a sleeve and have to have a bypass instead and I am not sure I want to do that. Only choice I have due to stomach surgery for medical reasons years ago. I am really disappointed. I am 62 and just want to get something done.

It's been 5 days post op since my bariatric gastric sleeve surgery, I'm 14 and started my full liquids and protein diet. My dad constantly eats food I want but can't have. I'm not hungry, but I get huge cravings for things I can't have and it messes with my head. I currently have depression and...

My surgery for roux-en-y surgery is August 2nd. I am excited and cannot wait to get this done. I hate that I have to go all the way to Pennsylvania to do it, but it was either there, California (with insurance), or Mexico (with no insurance). I wish I could be closer to home but my best friend...

I had the bariatric sleeve done and everything went well. I was sent home on Tuesday at 6 pm and just healing up. I've had to take some Vicodin for pain but overall the shakes that I've been sinking have been staying down. This journey started last June with me being rushed into this ER by my...

I am so excited (but a little nervous) since I got my surgery date ... 2/26/13 I have preop tests starting tomorrow (anesthesia & heart health check) then again next Friday for blood tests. I have wanted to have this surgery for 7 years and have been actively working towards it for the...
