I am 6 days out from laparoscopic Roux-en-Y surgery. That was more painful than my hip replacement. Yes I walked and even did time on a NuStep machine. So I don’t need advised to move. Today I went shopping OY-Vay and it was difficult. I am in my 60s and that may have something to do with it. But keep in mind it is definitely NOT painless and easy for everyone.

You can do that immediately after your surgery. The goal is to have the patient walking around within hours after their surgery. This will reduce your chances of developing a blood clot.

Plz make a video of the after care. Recipes patients can use. The fact that they go home with blood thinners. Alternative gas medicine. The multivitamins meant to crush can be swapped for gummies but very well chopped (chew in tiny bites). The gel vitamin d how can it be consumed. I feel after we go home there’s no help with something as simple as information.
@DebbieMason

That depends on your surgeon and even the hospital. Mine provided tons of info. Best to reach out to them for your specific recommendations. If that doesn't work, then look at reputable hospital bariatric programs' info online, such as Cleveland Clinic. Hope this helps (even though it's months after your comment).

These are very helpful, but I wish the gaze of the teleprompter would be raised up. I find videos very difficult to watch when the subject of the video is not looking straight into the camera. The eye gaze of these videos is always looking down or a downward perspective and for me it's very difficult to watch, so I put it in the background and do other things while I listen. Great content, but wish the production was better... just need to raise up the telemprompter so it is at a level gaze with the camera lense so it appears you are looking at your viewer and not at their chest/neck.

Within a few weeks, your risk of blood clots will diminish however you want to make sure you are staying active to lower your chances of clotting with the first few weeks post-op. Here is a blog all about blood clots: bcofa.com/blood-clots-after-bariatric-surgery/

Question doctor January My husband did this surgery 2 weeks ago and I feel he is having hard time to pass liquid down to his stomach. He is feeling too much pain whenever the liquid is about to enter the stomach. He can’t even drink shakes or thick broth. The same feeling happens with water. Is it normal? Two days ago they gave him blood solution to get his energy back since he doesn’t drink well. I feel so sad for him. Do we have to worry or we just wait two more weeks ?

Yes, that should be fine. However we are concerned about the possibility of developing a blood clot so you might want to speak to your doctor about taking a blood thinner the day before you travel there and back. But also be sure to walk around on the plane if it is a long flight.

@LiveHealthyMD
@LiveHealthyMD 2 года назад
It will depend on your insurance company and the program you are going through. On average, our patients get through the program in 200 days (~6 months). If you are dedicated to the program and your insurance requires a 3 month diet (or less), then there is a chance you could get your surgery within 3 - 4 months from your initial visit.

@LiveHealthyMD
@LiveHealthyMD 2 года назад
We recommend you give yourself at least a week of rest and recovery after weight loss surgery. Although you can walk and move around, we want you to avoid strenuous exercises to avoid bursting your incisions. If you are sitting in a car for a long time down to the beach, you should make stops frequently to walk around and limit the potential of getting a blood clot.
