Went well, in general. Surgeon chopped and popped as a Pro. Didn't fix umbilical hernea though...a subject for upcoming meeting. Surgery Pain manageable, but a belly-binder ace-bandage would have helped early-on. Wifey had to haul me up from bed for 2 days...that bad! Kept cell-phone on me, as bell-ringer wasn't loud enough. My little dog pounced on belly, but learned not to do that again... First 3 urinations following penial catherization were unbearable, even with meds...its mainly a guy thing and supposedly not so bad for typical others...a subject for upcoming meeting. It's a deal-changer for potential joint tummy-tuck and umbilical hernea surgery...change practice or forget it! Being a little bit "high" and temporarily feeble can be risky...have to focus on steps...just imagine falling in that compromised state...that will sober you up. Walked slowly allot in dim light with little distraction...quiet praise music was helpful in my comfort zone. Others may find their own vibe and comfort zone in the moment, which ay not be the same as the past. "Earned" my sip of liquids each time I passed table. Watch-out for use of exercise machine as it can lull you out of focus...took breaks during commercials, then got wise to risks. Constipated...nothing in, nothing out...a little pepto bismol and low-sugar Prune juice and was fine, actually too fine...upped the Calcium intake via skim milk. Used stool softener going forward. Back to work (lightly) in 7 days...took it slow and slept well before and after. Got off meds a few days prior to work and driving (otherwise it is your fault, even if it isn't your fault) . Wounds red from scratching...doc proscribed Benadryl... got kiddy generic liquid and double-dosed. Bandage adhesive and my skin, not a good match, but I wasn't about to peal them off, even after long warm shower. Sorry for the cryptic writing...not too patient at the moment.

Sleeved 4 weeks ago. Went well. 2 weeks pre-op diet was annoying but somewhat doable. Halfway thru it, the food addition dies. See if your Doc can avoid the penile drain via catherter...painful for 3 times of peeing, even with morphine! Surgery pain was just a throbbing. that fades over 2 weeks. My experience...hope you do well.

That amount and good exercise seems like a great combo. Copy your nutritionist. Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

It's actually, Paul...my kid did theatrics-play and sang "Gary-Indiana," so I can't get it out of my head regarding this Bari-atrics procedure. Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

Hi AB. from Philly, PA. Pop of 2. 4 mos in on 6 Mo. Diet. Hadn't worked, like last decade of diets, until I did a pre-pre-op diet. see Doc in a week. Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

I'm doing a pre-pre-op to get ready by halving caffeine, then stopping it. Sleepy at times but crunch-time wakes me up and preps me. Duct-tape Patches gets me ready for sutures... Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

Way to go, Q. Did you get a school-Doc or Student/Dr.-in-training? Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

I didn't get any input about abs just nutrition. Makes sense tho. Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App

I'd pray for wisdom. At 50 I mid-crisis style added 50 lbs. So, I'll go from a softball sized stomach to a carrot-sized. If u do the procedure, and encounter this or other drama let's hope in 30 years of advancement that a straw will work. Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App
