LOL I agree this was an excellent book and it was nice of you to share it with your group to help others.

Hi when you meet with the anesthesiologist they will review and go over your entire health as well as your family history he may ask yo about your sleep apnea and determine if you need a machine or not their job is to ensure that you are in the best shape for this surgery so that their are no surprises.

When I had my surgery everyone who came into my room scan my hospital bracelet before giving me any medications I think this is common practice. Im glad that you are doing well now

I am sorry that you are feeling sad since you mentioned children is it possible for you to volunteer at their school that way you ca meet new people also look for mommy programs in your community when you and you child will have a play day and you can meet new people that way as well. Going to the park with your child you can meet new people. I wish you the best of luck.

Hi it all depends on your body my surgeon said it can take up to 6 - 8 weeks to heel but although I have been off for 3 weeks and go back tomorrow to work I could have went back after my first week, I feel great and my hubby wanted me to wait until after I had my two week follow up with my surgeon and my primary doctor now thats over I go back to work tomorrow. I will be 3 weeks post opt tomorrow where has the time flown, as far as compressed garments my surgeon said that I did not need one although the nurse gave me a stomach binder so I took it off and felt better. Congrats on your choice to be healthy.

I am glad that everyone is dong well and recovering well. Continue to take one day at a time and walk , each day does get better and drink water. Welcome to your new healthy life and welcome to the losers bench.

I agree with the other post it is all the fluids they pump in yo you to prevent dehydration the water will come out send I was told nit yo weigh myself the first week because of the surgery fluids.

Hi I use a heating pad and gasx strips.

I agree with the other post I'm 3 weeks post opt as of this Monday and I am off all diabetic medications, off high cholesterol meds and a half of blood pressure medications this surgery was a life saver your going to do great we are all keeping a seat for you on the losers bench.

I agree with the above statements stay focus take one day at a time, this is your life changed not theirs so they do not understand. This is one of the main reasons I didn't tell anyone but my husband and kids. It's no ones bud insets and you always have haters as well as people who don't understand or don't want to. Good luck .

Hang in there you will see everyday does get better, congrats that you all have decided to get healthy wishing you all a speedy recovery.

I took 3 weeks off but I could have went back in a week I felt great once the gas came out I was feeling great, I had no problems with during the bathroom or keping anything down the only problem I had was a back ached but that's gone now and I'm 20 days post opt.
