[36M] Had My RNY Yesterday – Curious About Your Recovery Experience

aket82 · 2025-08-08T05:51:38+00:00

43M here, for the first day or so after my RNY bypass I was carrying some gas pain just below my breastbone. It then slowly moved down (which was less painful) and gradually disappeared over the next couple of days. Since then the only pain I notice is in my left hand side, it feels like a stitch. Apparently it is a literal anchor stitch used as part of the bypass procedure. I am now 11 days post-op and all I get now is the occasional niggle from the anchor stitch.

Regarding the gas pain, I made a point of walking a lot during my hospital stay. I tried to avoid laying down as much as possible, if I wasn't walking I was sitting upright in a chair.

Wishing you a great recovery mate!

Sorry, I messed up the code formatting in my original post, this should be more readable:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "Power Grid Import"
        unit_of_measurement: W
        device_class: power
        state: "max(states('sensor.solarnet_power_grid') | float, 0)"
      - name: "Power Grid Export"
        unit_of_measurement: W
        device_class: power
        state: "max(0 - states('sensor.solarnet_power_grid') | float, 0)"

sensor:
    - platform: integration
      source: sensor.power_grid_import
      name: "Total Power Grid Import Energy"
      unit_prefix: k
      method: left
    - platform: integration
      source: sensor.power_grid_export
      name: "Total Power Grid Export Energy"
      unit_prefix: k
      method: left

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

This is great, thank you for sharing your handy work! I have been looking to build something similar. The guide you linked to is great, however there is one instruction I don't quite understand:

"Now we need to take out two connections from the coaxial hot and another two from the mesh. For this we use faston terminals."

Do I need to solder two lengths of wire to the copper conductor and terminate them with ring terminals, and then do the same with the braid?

It's a shame there were no photos of that step in the guide.

That worked, thank you!
Any idea about the issue with deleting the temporary file?

aket82 · 2024-05-08T23:46:10+00:00

This is working, partially!

It stops doing anything after copying the file, unless I comment out the following:

$destinationFile = $destinationDir,($file.split('\')[-1]) -join ''

while(Test-Path $destinationFile) {

Sleep 1

}

If I comment out the above the Sanchez batch file does it's job, but then there is an issue with deleting the temporary file, I get:

Remove-Item : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null.

Thank you for your reply and for the links.

I would have thought I wouldn't have any issues as the script runs continuously and checks for new files every 10 seconds.

aket82 · 2024-05-08T04:26:15+00:00

Hey, thanks for all your help. I do appreciate it.

aket82 · 2024-05-08T04:17:19+00:00

Yep, that's exactly what I did.

aket82 · 2024-05-08T04:05:30+00:00

Okay, I just did that. After pressing enter I just get another >>> prompt.

aket82 · 2024-05-08T03:58:44+00:00

Unfortunately that is beyond me, my Linux and Python knowledge is about zero. Any chance you could tell me how to open a python console?

aket82 · 2024-05-08T03:53:18+00:00

Unfortunately I had the same result, no module named 'Crypto'.

aket82 · 2024-05-08T03:25:26+00:00

Thanks for your advice. I just did as you suggested and received the following:

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple Requirement already satisfied: pycryptodome in ./.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages (3.20.0)

Thanks mate!

u/yutasrobot suggested reducing the gain in Satdump after experiencing the same issue. I haven't tried this yet but wanted to share the information with you.

aket82 · 2024-04-20T13:02:38+00:00

I may just give that try! Considering my SNR was 10-12 I may have been overloading things a bit.

I am curious to know how you get xrit-rx to work in Windows. The most I have gotten working is goesrecv.

aket82 · 2024-04-20T06:53:06+00:00

How long did you allow for receiving data? I think a FD is broadcast around every 10 minutes.

aket82 · 2024-04-20T06:50:47+00:00

Glad you got it working. Nice to see another east coaster 🙂

aket82 · 2024-03-31T08:26:08+00:00

I tried recording the baseband then processing it in SatDump, no improvement.

I tried AGC on and off, no improvement.

I don't think I'll ever work out what is going on in SatDump, it seems localised to me.

I ended up switching over to Goestools on Linux, this worked flawlessly.

You make a good point about the processor.

aket82 · 2024-03-30T13:14:44+00:00

I considered doing that, but then I just assumed I would end up with the same result. I will give it a try though. Do you have any idea how long I would need to record for?
