Re: How soon you feel well

[Guest guest]

Isn't weird how good you feel after the surgery? I mean I was all set

to be in horrible pain! A friend of mine at work said it too her dad &

sister 6 weeks to recover & feel normal! I'm wondering now if they

didn't have an open RNY tho. I felt great 2 days after surgery!!! My

tummy muscles were a little sore; but that's it!

Yea...there was no laying flat or on my side for a couple of days; but

after that I was fine. Probably for 2 or 3 days after I got out of the

hospital I would put a small pillow under my bell when I laid on my

side. That was more comfortable. But, now...2 weeks out...I'm back to

normal activities. :-)

diet. But in my eyes...every lil pound counts!

May I inquire as to why you and your doctor chose open rny as opposed

to laproscopic?

Just being nosy.

Hi a,

I'm sorry you in so much pain but congrats on the 10 pounds. I'm

only pre op but I've decided to tell myself after surgery that it will

be worth it in the end. Maybe once you are up and about with less pain

you could reward yourself with something special to signify getting

over this rough patch.

Just a thought. Good luck and hoepfully the pain will ease

quickly for you.
