I have some bruising too. But call your doctor just to let him be aware and just in case he wants to check you out. My bruises are in other areas, but you should call no matter what.

I'm 5 1/2 days post op. I'm still having a lot of pain in my upper abdominal area...right under my chee chee's. About how much longer will this last? Sitting and bending over are the worst! The gas pain is gone, hallelujah!

75 N Feels Not Enough
DesertRose80 replied to f1stborn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We all have discouraging moments. That's normal. Just keep in mind that you are 75lbs better today than not doing anything at all! It'll keep coming off and you'll be so happy! Keep posting and know that we're all cheering you on! -
Help! I'm two days post op. I haven't been able to burp much, and my chest feels like I have the worst heart burn! I've been hot padding it up, walking like crazy, and doing EXACTLY what I'm supposed to do. So which is it? Cn I take some chewable tums?

Im doing Lindora when i go to solids. It high protein/low carb...not like adkins. They encourage natural sugars and portion control even with protein. I've done WW before and Im one of those people who does better when things are more strict. For me....just for me...WW had too much grey area and i felt like i could cheat easier.

I'm with y'all. I was banded yesterday late morning. I did wake up from anesthesia in a lot of pain, but my nurse was right there helping me with pain meds. Then I started dry heaving and she gave me a shot of Zofran. It's so wonderful to know you're not alone. We all have one another and the veteran Bandsters.

Yes, I get dizzy when I stand in one place. I have to either keep walking or lay down. -
