Call your surgeon right away. Can be incisional hernia, cyst, or fluid pocket. I would go to ER! -

SkinnyCubanChick replied to Renae1234's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you taking pain meds? Sometimes these make you nauseous. If you aren't ask your Dr, for something for nausea! Vomiting right now is not good. If it continues, go to ER! -
I went to Kohl's today and was surprised at the big selection of good shapewear. Expensive shareware upto 60% off! I purchased two camisoles at $18.00 each!

Weak and no energy on preop diet
SkinnyCubanChick replied to jewel2013's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!
SkinnyCubanChick replied to LadyLeigh2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 12/14 and have lost 38 pounds so far. I do get very hungry in the afternoons but I drink plenty of water and keep busy. I also struggle with deciding how much to eat. I make sure I eat only 1/2 cup of food (although I know I could eat lots more!) 3 times a day. I don't get my first fill until 2/11 and keeping mind over hunger! It is sometimes a struggle but I will not let hunger take over again! I also walk a mile 5 times a week! I don't want to sag, I'm 55! -

Is anyone out there having a problem with wearing bras for too many hrs? I am 4 weeks post-op today and cannot stand wearing a bra for too long! I have tried different bras and even with sport bras I have the same problem! Will this go away soon? I have to take the bra off right when I get home!

BRA PROBLEM!!
SkinnyCubanChick replied to SkinnyCubanChick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's not the straps it's the underside although I have no under wires and it isn't tight. I feel like I have a tight belt around under my breasts all the time even if I'm not wearing a bra! -
