October Bandsters?

I have a lot of bruising. Very red around some of the incisions too. Something I will have to keep an eye on

My bruising is starting to fade now, incisions were really red and itchy after surgery. When I called the dr they said I was probably allergic to the glue. Still have red now and had to take another course of antibiotics. I have a stitch sticking out of one incision that was supposed to be an inside stitch. I go for my first post-op on monday so hopefully they will get rid of it. I tried pulling it but its stuck, lol.

Gross! HA! I should hope that it's stuck. Can you imagine pulling it and your legs fall off!?

Lol now that would be hilarious. I showed my kids and my daughter was like eewww don't do that. She thought it would open and then you could see my insides, lol

I was banded on the 29th. I have a incredible amount of energy! I have been reading on here how a lot of people have little to no energy. I am not complaining about my energy boost or anything just curious how normal it is?

Hey Yall. Had surgery October 29th. Wondering how much bruising is normal?

I just had bruising around each incision. Very minimal.

Banded on 10/6, I have lost 25 lbs so far.... However I am now starting to get really hungry. I am eating what I was told would be ok but it is no longer filling. :-( I go in on the 12 so hopefully I will get a fill. Wish me luck!

Congrats and welcome to all of you October bandsters! Follow your doctor's post op diet, they are all different! Drink slow, but often and stay hydrated! Rest a lot and walk a lot. You may be tired for up to six weeks. Don't do strenuous exercise until your doctor clears you. Welcome to the losers club!
