    No stitches just glue???

    tstarrs replied to loriisback's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was also glued. My large incision did open up about half an inch but the Dr said it was fine and it would just heal from the inside out. I had the same thing happen with my c-section. I just put steri strips on it though.

    My port was about an inch above the incision. It feels kind of like a rock under the skin.

    Straws

    tstarrs replied to magaines's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Yeah the nurse gave me water with a straw in the hospital. Then the Dr. and the dietician told me no straws.

    birth control

    tstarrs replied to KristyLynn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I would assume right away? I took B/C the whole way through. Although I have an IUD...but that is still sending out hormones like the pill does.

    I was banded on Aug 29th and I also get a sharp pain where the large incision is. It almost feels like its separating.
