When people ask "How did you lose weight?"
rls41998 replied to MySleeveJourney's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I told everyone the truth. I've had a few ppl ask y didn't I just diet. I just told them I had been struggling with my weight for yrs. I am the type of personality that unless ur in my life and very close ur opinion is just that. Ur opinion. My husband supports and loves me and he is the only one in my life that his opinion matters. I'm very blessed to have him support me fully! -

Pain Around The Belly Button

I'm 5 days post op and I have paib around my -
I'm trying everything slowly. I had a really bad time in hospital. First my iv infiltrated and my left arm was all swollen and red. Then i had an allergic reaction to one of the meds given to me. The right side of my face now has raised red whelps between my forehead and my earlobe. And because i received about 4 new meds that I've never had before i don't know which one caused it. i moved around a little better today. I go Wednesday to have the drain tube removed from my left side. Hopefully i will feel better after that.

I Ate Peanut Butter...
rls41998 replied to 140icandoit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was also told to try other foods after surgery that my taste buds would change too -
I definitely understand the burning pain. I'm 4 days post op and I also have to hold my left side of abdomen when I walk. My sis in law said the dr told her the pain was from the suction caused by the jackson pratt drain. Hopefully when I have it removed the 13th the pain will go with it!! Over all doing alot better now. Sw:250 presurgery:239 cw:232

rls41998 replied to luvzpitbullz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had really bad experience. 2nd day post op had iv infiltrated and broke out in rash and reddness. Itching all over. Had alot of new meds I've never had before so could have been anything. Home now. Surgery was the 4th still sore but more tolerable. Still have large rash on right side of my face. Never had n/v. So glad. Not sure I could handle much more! -
