    Bathing

    I was bathing since day 2, my stomach was sticking out of the water, just don't fill it high.

    Never Ever Ever

    You'll be fine. You seem determined.....
  3. Hunger can mean dehydration, drink more and see if it satisfies you.

    Surgeons who can fix a leak

    I'm sorry what you are going through, but I heard many horror stories of people spending time in the hospital for a leak, so you must be extremely lucky. What did your doctor tell you, when will it be healed? Was your doctor a professional with many years experience? Did he tell you what caused it? I don;t think anybody will want to touch somebody elses work.

    Surgeons who can fix a leak

    When did you develop the leak, and what does your current doctor say?

    Right side pain?

    I'm also 21 days and have it on my left side. I think it's the fat that is pressing in New directions, now that it became thinner. I'll wait and see what happens. It's not bad, just uncomfortable.

    Day 00001 Post-Op!

    I also had a very rough ride, first time in a hospital, and it was very hard. Plus, they kept me in recovery for 10 hours because there was no bed available this added more. You'll be fine, it gets better. I almost have now zero pain, and my surgeons allows anything after 3 weeks, so no restrictions soon.

    Gallbladder issue?

    Avoid fatty meats and drink a freshly squeezed lemon a day and you'll have NO gall issues, I'm talking from personal exoerience.

    Any regrets?

    Don't believe in the naysayers. MOST of us here have gone through it, and are very successful. Bypass may have its long term issues, that's why I stayed away from it, but sleeve is very safe. Of course you feel regret after the surgery until you get back to normal, but that's with everything in life your house, your car, your this and that. Buyers remorse will always kick in. Its more the reward you get out of it, how people accept it, and the reward is HUGE.

    Can I strain my stitches?

    I can have 12-16 Oz. of soup, liquid in like 20 minutes. 8 Oz. Go down in like 2 minutes if I really want to. Like when I take my multi vitamin. Haven't had liquid restrictions since day 1.
  17. I live in Hudson Valley, but I had mine in Mt. Sinai on January 30.
  18. I try to follow Dr. Schulze (herbdoc.com) if you heard of him. His stuff are real, and he recently introduced a [/url]Protein shake, which I take. It doesn't tastes that good, but it's real....look at his blog.
  19. I'm Vegan, not religiously, but I prefer vegan and I'm 2 week post up, haven't eaten any meat, and I'm alive and well. There is enough Protein in nuts and Beans.

    Natural remedy for GERD

    I found that laying down right after eating is what causes it for me. Best is to remain vertical. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
