Peachy,
I don't know you but can't wait to hear all about it. I am so glad that you are doing great. From what I can read between the lines you had a laproscopic Ruex- en-y gastric by pass. If this is incorrect please let me know. I would like to hear all about it from start to finish. I am schudled for my lap Ruex-en-y on the 29th of august. Just in time for Labor day.
LOL Marsha
Marsha, my husband had an open, well on the 25th 6 months ago. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer!
One thing I can tell you is prepare your family; you will be a different person in just a matter of months. Both physically and mentally!
It is the best thing my husband ever did for himself. He is a MUCH healthier, happier person. As corny as it sounds, I would not have believed before surgery that I could love him anymore, but to see him run around and play with our kids, well it is just amazing.
Hi Marsha, I had my surgery done lap. As for the recovery time, well someone else here will need to answer that question. I had a few complications, so my recovery time was very different than most.
Marsha, John had his done at the Bariatric Treatment Center. They only do open there.
John's hospital stay was 4 days, but on that 4th day he was released at noon. He had to be off work for 2 weeks (it would be longer but he sits at a computer for his job, no lifting or anything like that). By week 4 he already felt better than he did before surgery!
MAN, have times changed...when I had my open done 22 yrs ago, I was in the hospital for a week before the procedure for different testing. ICU for 2 days then went home four days later.
I was off from work for 6 weeks...
Can't wait to hear if my insurance covers the redo....
Just spoke to peachie and she said......
just cause he's cute
