I had a 24 hour stay in the hospital after surgery. I think that was plenty of time. I think 3 days is alot if you don't have complications. That sucks to have to pay for days in the hospital if you don't need them.

Thanks Caricap!! That was awesome!! I will add that to my workout. That was really fun. Anita, I will let you know when I am done with the dvds. If I have a chance, maybe I will copy them for you. Us ladies have to stick together!!! Thanks everyone! -

Thanks for the suggestions. I just ordered a dvd called chair aerobics/chair boxing. Hopefully I can get some type of aerobic activity. I had put off this foot surgery for a while, and I couldn't really do much exercise before the surgery due to the pain. Walking was a challenge and there was no way I could run. Anyways, I am gonna see how that series is. Maybe I can order more. After searching, there seems to be quite a few dvds for doing chair exercises so thanks. If anyone wants to use the dvds when I am done, I will be more than willing to give them up:smile2: -
Stop avoiding the camera at family functions. Wear a thong and actually be able to see it:)

I am looking for any suggestions! I had foot surgery last week and am non weight bearing on my right foot for 6-8 weeks! Then I will be in a boot for 2-3 months. I need someone to tell me what kind of exercises will help me when I can't walk. I don't want to start putting this weight back on! Please, any suggestions will help! -
I have had the same problem. I was banded on July 23rd and I still have port pain during sex. I also tried to put pressure on the port but it still was uncomfortable. I tried a different position and had no pain at all. You should try different ones and see what works.

I am starting to feel really good now. I went to my post op visit, and now I can start eating soft foods. YEAH!! If anyone has any suggestions for what to eat, I would appreciate it. I have been eating applesauce and mashed potatoes,and I don't know what else to eat. Port site is still kind of sensitive if I lean to the left or bend that way but other than that, I feel pretty good!! -
My first doctor appt was on March 30th 2009. It took awhile because my psychologist took about 5 weeks to get their report to the doctor. After they submitted my papers to the insurance and got the approval,(which took about 2 weeks because my insurance company was disputing if the doctor was a peferred physician) They offered to schedule me about 2 weeks out for surgery. I think it would have been a lot faster, but the delays were not their fault. All in all, it took me about 4 months for the whole process. The doctor even asked me why it took so long for me to get my surgery after my initial consultation. So they seem to be pretty quick.
