Anyone from Vermont....?
dpecor replied to Losingit4good's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am from South Burlington Vermont. I was sleeved December 16th so it has been almost 5 months. I started at 309 last March and am at 200 today. I would love to be at around 140 when finished. I have been in a stale for around 3 weeks but I hear that happens. I started at a size 22-24 and am now a 14-16. -
Swelling above incision - Post op help!
dpecor replied to VSGKasey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a huge problem with the incision right below my drainage. I had them look at it a couple of times. It was red with lots of puss coming out of each staple. They stapled it in my fat roll so every time I moved, it rubbed. The best feeling was getting the staples out. It took me weeks before it started feeling better and a couple of months for it to stop bleeding/puss. Hang in there, it gets better. -
Kidney stones anyone?
dpecor replied to QueenBee41's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 12/17/12. I just had my 4th kidney stone since surgery and feel like I am getting another. I have only had 1 before my surgery. They did an ultrasound a couple of months ago and didn't see any. I wonder how long they take to form? -
Dec. 17 Sleevers - How are you on week out?
dpecor replied to sars's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 12/17, almost six weeks ago, and one of my incisions won't stop bleeding/pussing. It was cauterized 2 weeks ago but that made it worse. Has anyone had this problem? -

They were short staffed and it looks like they hired 2 new receptionist. The usual receptionist wasn't there and the nurse never called me back. It is the bariatric center for the hospital. -

Thursday the surgeon put stuff on it to stop it. It has bleed like crazy ever since. I tried calling the doctors office 3 times on Friday and they have all new people who couldn't transfer me to the right people. I will call again Monday if it is still bleeding. -

I went to Dr and everything is ok. The staples were put in a very bad way and I feel 100% better there. Thank God! I don't know how much more pain I could stand without pain mess.

I know a bunch of you had said you feel awesome even 1 week post op but I was wondering if you all had the JP drain with that awesomeness?

Looking to chat with "family" around Vermont.

Yes, not a fan. Coming out tomorrow at 9 days post op.

I have 1 Great Dane and just her accidentally knocking into me huts my stomach. But you have 2? I also get very sore feeding my 2 dogs and cats. The bending down kills my tummy. Are you doing the feeding? I am 6 days post-op and I take pain meds every 4 hours. You should definitely ask for a script. I hated the tylenol.

Dec. 17 Sleevers - How are you on week out?
dpecor replied to sars's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I am also down 12 lbs since surgery on December 17 and seeing the doctor the 27th. I have had a lot of pain where the tube is and also the staples under the tube. It is very red and painful. My pants and underwear must be rubbing there. Also my belly is shrinking causing the staples to tighten. I can wait until Wednesday to get it all out. It's also very hard for me to get up and down or stand straight and it is killing my back. Have you had any of these problems?
