9 days for me!! I'm so excited! I'd recommend chapstick (only because others have told me) If you are out patient like me then I just needed the basics until I got home! Best wishes to you! July band buddy!

If you are large chested I recommend a sports bra. I have heard some docs rec against them but mine was fine with it so long as the band didn't press on any incisions. Without it, one of my breasts was pressing on an incision and causing lots of discomfort. The bra helped a lot.

I gave very comfy underwire bras, are they a no-no? just wondering if I need to buy a sports bra.

      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.
