1 week post-op I feel like Rocky!!



Recommended Posts

Today I feel great my abdominal muscles feel good, only concern is regarding my incisions the water-proof band aid tape is getting wet so the gauze is wet can I replace with my own or should I let them get wet when I shower or peel em' off? Thanks my fellow Bandsters!.

I love this post title!! I'm so happy you're feeling good!! That first time you feel so good is amazing!! :) As far as your gauze and tape, I'd say change it or remove them (as my doctor told me if they got wet) because you don't want your incisions to be sitting there with a moist gauze (but I'm not a medical professional, this is just my opinion) If you're concerned, give your doctor a call, it can't hurt to be sure.

Best of luck and I hope your days get brighter and brighter, Rocky ;)

My Dr said once the bandages fall off there is no need for them. Check with yours to see what he advises.

My doc said the same thing....let them fall off on their own and then there is no need to replace them.

Thank you guys I called dr.'s office they said to let it fall off and not to put bandages over them, but they also said not go get them wet when I shower, the whole plastic bag and tape still gets my incisions wet, Once again thanks my LB fam bam.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
