New to site and considering surgery
MaMa_Bear replied to Large.and.sick.of.it's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
The hard part is to be honest, so here goes I see that your weight is a catalyst for your mental health... but until you actually deal with your mental health your weight will ALWAYS be an issue. Before you seek life altering surgery consider please seeking professional help for your mental health and once you are healthy that way make an unbiased decision of whether or not you NEED weight loss surgery. Please know I wish you many blessings. -
Gas pain succcccccks! 5th day post bypass and it has brought me to tears 3 times! This isn't your overeating gas or your everyday burp/fart but CO2 that was injected into our bodies so doc could work that has to be absorbed into the body to be expelled.. gas meds and lying down flat helps they say.. but to my experience my pain was front under left rib so relief was to be on my bed in cat like position on all 4s and my hubs rubbed my back to kinda jostle the gas back around so the pain was dispersed and not all in a pocket .. the goal being to get the opposite side up for gas to travel upward as it wants to .. glad I figured out what worked for me good luck and God bless!

Literally after walking on day 3 my lower right site started dripping blood tinged clear fluid and it is day 5 and still dripping! After calling the doc this is normal but gross still and occurs at the most active times which are also most inconvenient... this is not a stretch by any means when I repeat it drips ... anyone else have this?

How soon after surgery did you have sex?
MaMa_Bear replied to JerseyJules's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm post op day 5 and I am so sure it's not gonna be for a minute lol poor hubs! lol I think most major surgeries they suggest 6 weeks and most folks wait half that so " go with your gut girl" I'm more worried about the new sounds and the fear of so much clapping it will sound like a live audience lol .. -
