  1. I am going to try a binder to help hold everything in and protect incisions for compression— is there something like that to help under clothes for men? Maybe a compression top that tucks into waistband of pants to smooth that area?
  2. When did you drive after your VSG? I need to get myself home from airport after 4 days— is this reasonable? I drove the 2nd day after my laparoscopic hysterectomy in November…I hate pain meds, so nothing more than ibuprofen really on board.

    Surgery Shaming Should Be A Thing…

    I’m telling NO one- flying off one weekend and coming back alone to start the hard work. I may say something like im working with a doctor… but that’s it. People can suck it. It’s my business alone.
  4. Great thanks — im specifically asking NOT to be put on any narcotics, they make me really sick. I think i should be okay to drive the 30 mins home from airport then, and if not, I can get an Uber. Appreciate the reply!
  5. I’m with you. I dont plan on telling ANYONE about my surgery because im so tired of the same behaviors when i would lose or gain in the past— oh you’re doing XX diet? That is so bad for you, etc…I’m going to say i just started working with a doctor and focusing more on my health, not the weight. Not sure how i will explain the smaller meals, but ill work around it when it comes.

    Surgery date

    My date is March 1, and I dont have to start liquid diet until afterwards. Just low carb/no sugar one week out, although I’ve already started as a way to get my head in the game and stay invested. Good luck to all!
  7. Thank you for reply- I had the same issue—found lots of good things about Maytorena, nothing about other. I looked at years of practice and type of surgery they are expertise in, and have decided on Maytorena. Appreciate the support!
  8. March 3, got confirmed today!
