JP drains?
KathyawesomeSmith replied to beautiful_alarms's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too, had a drain for the first week. After it was removed it felt like my life had just begun. My doctor said he likes to see what's going on inside. Good luck! -
Trouble Swallowing
KathyawesomeSmith replied to Sassy-Anne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try eating slowly. I have the same feeling a lot still and I am 3 months post op and thought I was overeating. I asked my surgeon about the stuck feeling and he said it is a spasm from eating too fast. I hope this helps Sent from my Nexus 7 using the BariatricPal App -
I want you to relax and don't worry about the surgery. I was literally scared out of my wit's, I was terrified!!! I was worried I wouldn't be here for my one and only daughter, but as you can see it as for not... The surgery is a piece of cake, a walk in the park and same for the shots. This will be the best decision you have ever made. I had no pain except for my big b_tt from laying on the op table. Don't worry be happy!

Cheating on preop
KathyawesomeSmith replied to ehedary's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't worry. The surgeon I had doesn't require a pre-op diet and he has a perfect track record. Do let them know though. Everything will be fine Sent from my Nexus 7 using the BariatricPal App -
Prickly Feeling?

I had the same prickly feeling and a burning sensation where my incision sites are, I think it is a sign your body is healing. You're not alone! -
4/22 Sleeve & Small Hiatal Hernia repair - I'm Still throwing up, dehydrated, can't eat
KathyawesomeSmith replied to rhansen7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery same day as you did and I have had 0 vomiting. I think you may have started eating fibrous foods too soon. I only eat very plain and non acidic foods. Try eating like this and I'm sure you'll feel better. Take care Sent from my Nexus 7 using the BariatricPal App -
