Oh hon, i know the feeling I just called and got the service. Hopefully he will say yes. I have been taking a stool softner for almost a week now. Wow, you did awesome with your weight loss! I only lost 12 lbs on my pre op diet.

That was going to be my next question. If i should take a laxative. Calling dr now. Thanks !

Thank you hon! I am 5'1 and weigh 231! So i def am a fatty, LOL

Oh ok, thanks hon! I was like " Oh no, i already messed up! " LOL good to know!

Wow, that's great marshawn!! I haven't lost any let but I know that normal because we are still swollen. I am not even getting on scale because as I heard many times before surgery this is our healing time, this is such a great site!! Love al the new people I met so far!!

Thank You ladies. Going to do this after I shower today. I normally lift up my stomach to dry under there. Maybe I haven't since surgery because I am sore. Thanks again for all the advice. I don't know what I would do without all this love and support!!!

Ok, so my stomach has been getting itchy. I Was also itchy where my c-section scar is. So, I Was scratching it and then I rubbed my nose and My finger smelled. I only scratched under my stomach where the cut/scar is. I have showered everyday since surgery so I am not dirty. I don't think this has anything Do do with the band. It's not even close to The cuts and holes they made. It looks like I have a few bumps on the scar. I have to go back to The ob but what the heck is up with that odor?! This is A first for me!

I have a bloody nose. I never had one before. My mom said it could be dry from surgery. It's not draining blood but when I put a tissue in my nose it comes out with blood on it. Very weird? Thanks for any help!

Jrsmith, how come you were in the hospital so long? I Was same day. Sorry to hear your not doing well. Can you explain your journey so far?

Awww, honey I pray everything is fine. I am sure once you call and get everything straightened out you will feel better. I do agree with everyone. Call your dr. They are used to getting calls from something minor to real emergencies. I Was only in excruciating pain the day of surgery. The meds at home keep me tolerating the pain. Please keep us posted on what happens. Hugs!!

Thank You patty girl and maddysgram! My nose stopped bleeding but now I am feeling so bloated. Ugh, It could be worse so I am really not complaining, LOL. I have been up and around house a lot today. I think I will do some more laps to get this stomach gas out. Question though, how do you know if your over doing it??

Oh ok, that makes sense!! I did have that in my nose for awhile even when I Was awake. Thanks jean!

A new dawn, yes I would rather have swelling then pain, LOL

I made Greek yogurt, banana and a little peanut butter drink. So good!! How often can I sip on it. I really don't want to over do it. Thanks

I got banded today, got Home tonight and all was going pretty well. Still is, not horrible but can't sleep! Laying on my back is ok sometimes but with the the surgery it feels so uncomfortable because its pulling on my stomach. Then I have to keep pee'ing ( sorry tmi ) and its a you know what to get up from laying down. So, now I am watching tv. Thankfully my in laws will be over at 8-9am to watch my son. I hope tomorrow I will feel much better!

Thank You honey!!! I feel much better now! I just want this swelling to go down. I look fatter, LOL

Ok, Thank You. I just figured it would be swollen on First day then get better. But its opposite. I put ice on it. Thank You !

Thank You Er8 and mis73! Before I got banded I Was on here all the time to get as many tips as I could for right after surgery. Stool softner was one of them!
