I'm seven weeks post op, gastric bypass. I've been watching your videos since before surgery. Thank you for all the information and help you have given to us.
Thanks for sharing! I just got home from my first doc appointment and getting ready to try and convince my insurance co. to approve my surgery. These vids are so helpful. It's funny because it's almost exactly a year to the day that you posted this - I'm excited to see your "now" vids. :)
Just had my RNY last Wed (1/19/16) and most everything that was preached beforehand came true but there were somethings that they didn't mention. 1) This greasy taste in my mouth 2) My weight loss would fluctuate from time to time 3) That I would feel this damn good just 10 days after surgery. I had buyer's remorse at first but that passes I feel so much better about my decision now and I thank God in heaven I had it done, I was dying.
Thank you milla, sent husband for one this morning, fantastic little gadget even he can control, its so funny watching him try and cook. I do hope you dont mind if I have questions to ask you from time to time. Thank you again Kim.
Thank you so much for posting this video I’m getting ready to have my RNY surgery 11/22/17 I am freaking out but this video has inspired me so much thanks again and congratulations on your weight loss journey ❤️
I had my surgery yesterday and I felt the exact same as you. The water went down great I didn't have a problem with nausea. Slight gas pain in the chest but definitely not as bad as they make it out to be. Thank you for sharing your story! I watched you before I went in but now watching it after I know exactly what you're talking about. :)
I think it's normal to feel mixed emotions after surgery. My surgery date is Wednesday, June 19, 2013 so I'm counting the days down... Take care, Kelly
I guess every Dr is different I did not have to do a Bowell prep. I had the flu two weeks prior from my surgery and it was terrible. Now I'm the same way it is scary and you think all these emotions.
I am glad someone voiced the thought or feeling I have about how being healthy and thin is so unattainable in my mind, then going through all this crap to get there but now that it's happening I'm hesitant or anxious about it and for me, nervous and wondering if after 3 long years of tests and appointments, classes and traveling.. am I truly making the right decision? Thank you for this vlog.. you're very helpful and inspiring :)
Oh thats great you didnt get that gas pain, it sounds so out of control painful. I know exactly what your talking about, with the anxiety. and stuff. Thanks for the update
My RNY is in 10 hours. Getting a little nervous now. I got an 8 year old daughter. We are all each other has so I'm afraid of not waking up, but I'm going to do it anyway.
Thanks for all this helpful information. Im a new subscriber and considering having gastric bypass surgery but I’m torn between that and the sleeve. Were you awake when they put the catheter in? How painful is it when I took it out? I would hate feeling so tired but not being able to sleep because you have to stay awake to drink water. Frustrating.
Hey, thank you for sharing your experience. I have surgery in less than 1 week! 5 days to be exact and i just wondered how long it takes until you're feeling back to yourself again? And also how long does the pain from the op last? I hope to make some videos too, to track my progress and share my experience. Thanks!
It really doesn't take that long. My husband and I didn't have any pain issues when we got home. It's a tricky question because u never really go back to your old self. The first few months are tough, you're basically detoxing and you can't eat what you want. you become a bit of a crab, lol.
how you doing sweetie??? I had my RNY-gastric bypass 02-24-2013///weight coming home...275.4......today....212.4....but I am 61 & disabled so exercise is a chore but feeling good....how are you????
I actually still get a bit of heart burn, but it's nothing like before. I'm a year out and I still get a bit of hair loss but it's gotten better. I had hair loss even before the surgery when my reflux was severe.
tank you for sharing this i shall have a operation soon and i dont liv in usa i liv in norway but the morphine button u got u think it be here to cause i dont want it if it will hurt to mutch i hate to have pain

Milla please help I had my roux en y on tuesday of this week and came home today (friday) I thought my smoothie maker would puree my food but alas not . Could you please tell me what you used to puree your food . Thank you kim
In the first week I was just drinking broth. It was only until week two when I could have protein shakes and pureed foods. When I did start eating pureed soups I would just use a handheld blender. Get one!

+Robert Nun'ya You are gonna look back at pictures of yourself before surgery and wonder how you ever functioned so heavy.
I hope so

Now consuming liquids for a week is gonna drive you insane. To this day i still hate popsicles, lol
I'm doing much better, this day seems so long ago now. Still so happy I did it!
Yeah walking is important I got blood clots years ago before my surgery it is terrible. The gas is what hurt me the most after surgery.

Take care, Kelly
I have a referral for this next friday for diabetes. Thank you for this

April 11th I have my date with the operating table! Conversion from Band to bypass to lots of complications..
I only regret I didn't do it sooner. Call your insurance company and see what they say. It depends on your insurance deductible.
