Back to work today after 5 days of post-op



Recommended Posts

As soon as I walked in people were like, "good to have you back! Were you sick or something? You looked thin!" when I heard that, I knew I was doing something right. Even though the liquid stage is annoying its amazing how people notice the difference when I can't see it at all.

Lol...I got bored at home although at the end of the day I questioned myself as to why I came in to work. But Im glad I did because I walked a lot; going to the cafetaria, the bathroom, conference room, the bathroom, the mailroom, the bathroom...lol..I guess all that walking gave my stomach muscles a workout....but yeah, watch out for the gas...the poor guy in the bathroom stall on my left had the unfortunate experience of being a auditory witness to my *ahem* trumpet solo...

THAT is precisely why I cannot go back so soon, headed back on Monday...by then I hope to be done with running to the restroom in haste and able to make zero noise....grumblings are pretty loud too

glad you got back, for me, still too soon, 4th day for me, not sure what to say

Nean - Thanks! The doctor assured it will be ok, but we all have different pain thresholds (and I like pain once in a while :thumbup: - its a tattoo thang), so he told me its up to me if I can handle it. Just dont be on pain meds while driving :unsure:.

Fluffy- Yeah, flatulence is "evil" but it feels good. I used to get embarrassed but then I realized, wth, im in a bathroom and its my body, its anonymous and I just let it out without remorse...your body will thank you. Good luck!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
