I know every doc is different...But I wanted to know how many of you had drains upon discharge from the hospital? ????Renea in AL

I haven't had surgery just started this journey. My mom passed away in Feb of a blood clot. I'm terrified of developing a clot after surgery. I know the thing to do is Walk... Walk.... Walk. It still scares me. I heard some doctors give you blood thinner meds after surgery. Thoughts? Comments? ????Renea in AL

Yes you do. I didn't think to even ask him about blood thinners...It seems a lot of doctors are prescribing them now. ????Renea in AL

Glad to see someone from Bama on here. Did you use Dr. Shmitt in B'ham? I'm using Dr. Mora in Prattville. I live in Wetumpka (close to Montgomery). ????Renea in AL

That's what I hear ????Renea in AL

I'm sorry this is happening. ????Renea in AL

Beautiful ???????? ????Renea in AL

I have a 7 mth supervised diet so mine will take awhile... ????Renea in AL

I commend you on all of your accomplishments!! I pray things will get better for you. ????Renea in AL

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I haven't had surgery yet so I don't have any experiences for you. ????Renea in AL

So it looks as if my 15 years of waiting is over..I finally have insurance that covers Sleeve Surgery. I have Mental Illness. I'm diagnosed with Anxiety, Depression, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm concerned about getting clearance from my psychiatrist (I've just became her patient 3 mths ago). Is there anyone on here who has been diagnosed with Mental Illness and has/had difficulty for surgery clearance? Renea in AL Sent from my Z828 using the BariatricPal App

You look great!! ????Renea in AL

I would like to think we've joined this group to receive honest feedback... ????Renea in AL

You look wonderful ???? ????Renea in AL

Sending those positive vibes from AL too! ????Renea in AL

Bless her heart. I'm praying for her. Hopefully she will feel better soon. ????Renea in AL

Honey, you sound like me. I watched my mom go so through so much due to her weight. I simply brought it up to my PCP and she was so helpful finding me a great surgeon. She has had several patients go through WLS and knew all of what was needed on her end. Good luck! ????Renea in AL

Thank u so much...I get nervous and wouldn't have thought to say "without my meds". ????Renea in AL

Had my EGD last Friday. I had some gas and soreness in my throat. Took it easy the rest of the day and felt great on Saturday. ????Renea in AL

I'm so sorry. I know you are frustrated. I always say "Everything happens for a reason.". It's the only way I can keep my spirits up when things like that happens. ????Renea in AL

That is wonderful. I'm so proud for you. Keep up the work. ????Renea in AL

Thanks for sharing. I too have been hospitalized and partial-hospitalized and frankly I thought that would be a hiccup. ????Renea in AL

Congratulations!! ????Renea in AL
