Odd question about removing the drainage tube
missjegga replied to JRFuerst's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No pain just felt really gross like a suction lol I don't know how to describe it but absolutely no pain and it only take 2 seconds -
I don't mind being a slow loser as long as it stays off. !!!!!! My doc told me I would be slow I has a band to sleeve revision at my highest I was 299 sleeve surgery day I was 227 so I lost a good amount of weight with the band and I'm 5'8 so at 227 my doc said I was a lil small for weight loss surgery lol that was extremely weird and rare to hear its hard looking at everyone's success happen quickly but in the long run if it stays off ill be happy

I know it sounds weird and prolly the last thing you want to do when u are cramping and feel bloat but i do abdominal crunches always have since I started my period I get bad cramps doc says it helps loosen the muscles like stretching and it works for me

missjegga replied to missjegga's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Those are good tips I'm gonna try that !!! Thank you all for your support !! Means a lot and you are all right what is it to my coworkers they are just my coworkers!! I really need to focus on how I'm going to get my fluids and proteins in whole I'm at work that's gonnna be hard nurses dobt really get much breaks that's more important then what people say ill let you all know how it goes -
Today I am exactly one month out had a band to sleeve revision happened so fast and unexpected was only expecting to have band removal and my amazing surgeon offered me the sleeve and two months later here I am started 248 did my pre op diet for a month doc was worried about my esophagus expanding surgery day 227 and this morning weighed in at 211 a lil slow compared to most but I am happy. The only thing I am worried about is going back to work on Thursday I am a charge nurse a nursing home and people can be very nosey or shall I say nurses lol I went in last week to pick up a check and I was literally huddle by about 6 of my co workers and they were all saying comments in how I look great and that I have lost weight and I was so surprised on how extremely uncomfortable I was !! I did not tell anyone what I was doing just told them I requires surgery and I'm ok now thank you for the concern well while in this huddle a coworker of mine had the nerve to blurt out in Spanish right directly in front of me and say something I had no idea what was said seeing how I do not speak Spanish but what she said seemed to upset a friend of mine who does speak Spanish I later asked my friend what that was about and apparently my co worker said "she's lying she was never sick she had that fat surgery like the other girl" a couple of girls at my work have had the surgery and been successful but people are just so rude and really make judgements and insensitive comments especially when we have pot lucks they will make comments on what they eat how little they eat or how much they eat which is exactly why I have not chosen not to tell people about my surgery so lets just say I am not happy about going back to work I am not a person that like attention or the spotlight on me I was at work literally for 10 min and I was extremely uncomfortable. Anyone else have the same experience and how did you deal with it ?
