I had the surgery 4 weeks ago and i have been sick since the day i left the hospital! Everyone should watch out for getting a infection from the hosptial not being sterile with the tubes that go down your thoart.. And then pray that you surgeon as a covering dr... and dont listen to anyone but your self.. if you have to go the er because you dont feel right JUST GO! Or you will end up like me on cough meds, nebluaizer, going to a lung dr because your surgeon bump up or surgery for insurance purpose and dont really care.. watch out for a rash on your belli from the steri strips... and a chronic cough cause by bronchitis then they tell you that they cant help because know your primary care doctor is in charge of you... and you end up have to take a leave of abences from you job to get well after you were just out a month for the surgery... if i had my choice i wouldnt have it done ... just go to wieght watchers! the only good thing is i lost 28 pounds in a month... people remember to ask question and deffend your self! because this has been the worst experinece of my life! :thumbup::yikes:

p.s. i have been on meds for 21 day and there is nothing left the dr. can give me .. make sure your surgeron does all the pre op testing your you get introuble... make sure you see a lung dr... before you have surgery... please people just really look into before you do it .. its major surgery and iwould recommend you take at least 6 to 8 weeks off of work there is no way you can go to work with in four days .... of surgery.... and dont lift anything ... and just rest.... so frustrating

wow omg you are scaring me i am twelve days pre op where did you get your surgery

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate time. Teisha, don't let it scare you. I could have gone back in four days easy, I took ten off because I get paid 100% of my salary while I'm off so why not take time and rest up.

I took pain med the first night and was off of them by the next day. I slept in a recliner the first three nights, laying down HURT!! Other than that my experience was a breeze!

Everyone has a unique experience, I hope yours is as good as mine was and not as terrible as Rosy's.

Good luck

Rosy, I hope that things get better for you soon and that the weight continues to fall off. 28 pounds is wonderful!
