Aww u too well no foods for me still lol

Well just left the Dr and u have a bad infection he opened the one incision to let it drain and put me on antibiotics and said it could take a few weeks to heal

Thank u in def scared and cant sleep

I did see my dr last week and had ni problems at the time

Well i woke up at midnight in pain and my husband helped me get up to go to the bathroom and when i sat down he saw my pants and my towel i hold over my stomach for.pressure was covered with a pink liquid ....we both kinda freaked out and were gonna go straight to the ER but while we were waiting for my aunt to get here to watch our 2 yr old i called my drs answering service and spoke with the on call PA and she says she thinks its an infection and that's what the hard spot is but not to go to the ER just to come in tomorrow and they may have ti reopen my incision and do a culture and put me on antibiotics... im so scared something serious is wrong i've had so many issues in the past with surgeries and i can't help but worry

I had the band in 2006 and lost about 120lbs 3 years later my dad passed away and i gained about 20lbs back then in 2010 got pregnant and gained almost 100lbs during my pregnancy then last april i had to have a new band put in because mine had formed a pouch above the band and have gained about 25lbs since then so now i am set to have the band removed and bypass done on april 16th and need to lose 150-200lbs is that realistic? I have heard some say you dont lose as much if bypass is your second WLS ...is that because alot of people have lost some of their weight with the lapband ? I am so nervous about the bypass and am all ready to do it but not so sure if its gonna be worth it if I cant lose at least 150lbs

Oh good i mean it is getting smaller but i also feel like it has something to do with my pain cuz its the exact spot

Mines not the one were the port was hmmm

I had scar tissue and he did it all in one surgery

I have 6 ...4 of them are about 1/2 inch 2 are about 1 1/2 inches ....one of the larger ones is where my port was removed and the other larger one is where they did all the "work" for the bypass,put the stapler in etc....all my pain is where the larger one where they did everything i also am sunken in right there and the dr said its a dissolvable stitch....when i first had surgery i didnt look but my mom said when i stood it almost looked like u could put a fist there now its maybe the size of a golf ball does anyone else have this?

Good luck everyone this week

How can i participate im 11 days post op so i dont have many things to share that work lol

Thanks i just get frustrated wishing id recover faster lol

Having a bad day im still in quite alot of pain in my left side feels like everything is all twisted and bunched up in there and it hurts not like excruciating pain but enough to take meds and its not constant but again enough to limit my activity drastically im 10 days post op and everyday is better than the day before but not as good as id hoped for and not as good as alot of you are doing .....i try walking more because everyone keeps saying walk walk walk it helps bit i try and the pain gets so bad i have to sit down ....tonight we took our daughter to the park and i walked downstairs out to the car from the car to the park and walked around while she played for about 20 minutes or so then had to sit then walked for about 5 min and back home we came cuz im in pain any suggestions? ??

.

Well 2lbs is great remember they say you can gain quite alot in hospital from fluids they pump u with i know i checked a few days after surgery and i was up 12lbs from sw and now 10 days post op im down 16lbs from sw.....are you able to drink anything? Or does that give you a bad taste too? Maybe try brushing your teeth that helps me i think its cuz we are so used to eating all the time that now i get a bland taste in my mouth all the time lol

It will youll be in the 100s before u know it ....remember u started at a lower weight so the numbers may be smaller

I agree! I love this group I am down 16lbs 10 days post op woohoo i have 9lbs to get off the weight ive put on in the last 2 yrs since i had my daughter them my next goal is to get under 300 !!!! I know we ALL can and will do this! !!!!!
