    Leak Test

    I totally agree, it was sooo nasty I could not hold it down at all. So they made me try again the next day, same thing I could not do it. So I had to stay 4 days in hospital and they finally did X-rays because I wasn't trying it again. That was the worst part ever!

    Cold

    I'm dealing with the same here. I took tussin dm but burned all the way down and I felt bad for like 30 minutes after so I stopped taking it. The coughing is killing my stomach cause some of my incision aren't completely closed yet.

    Louisiana Sleevers?

    I'm doing good, still have some sort of pain in my right side but will ask next week what it's from. Other than that I'm great. May I was 258 and today I'm 221. Good luck on your surgery.

    Louisiana Sleevers?

    Did dr. Bellows leave some stitches on your incisions? I go back the 18th so I guess he will remove them then but scared my incisions will be closed up. I am having to wait 3 weeks instead of two to see him because of the hurricane

    Tingling In Extremities

    I'm 2 weeks post op and my right leg from the tigh to my knee goes numb and tingles.
  17. How long after surgery did anyone wait to have a milk shake?
  18. shanbutler

    Milkshake?

    Just to let everyone know, I did not have a milkshake nor Mac and cheese. I've been on liquids for almost 5 weeks and was having head hunger issues. Buts thanks to the ones who helps when asked and for the ones whom live to judge all I can say is God bless your heart.

    Pain Under My Right Rib Cage

    I hope not, how do ya know if it is gallbladder?
  23. If you aren't holding nothing down I would see your doctor. The hospital would not let me leave until I did. I hate protein drinks. I am getting protein in by liquid (2 tablespoons = 18 grams)because I'm 10 days post op.

    Is This Possible?

    I'm so happy, I'm 10 days post op and have lost 14 pounds. I can get really use to this.
