"exit:" incision problems?



Recommended Posts

so all in all im doing great, im getting 100 grams of Protein ( im 6.3) in no problem, along with my fluids, envying the pain killers while they last but i have a question that is concerning me

on my lower left side, one of the port holes that was used to extract my giant old stomach sack had a very large swollen contusion area. its very painful, its a large lump protruding out. now i was told that they had to actually "pry" open that area to get out my stomach...

has anyone else had a issue like this, im actually slightly concerned its actually a hernia and its my intestines poking into that area. the swelling comes and goes and it is for sure the post painful area i have.

any thoughts guys?

i saw him today actually, he placed his hands on it and check it, its just swelling from a hemotoma from when they had to force the opening up larger by prying on it some, it will reduce in size, but the reason why its bothering me so much is because it was forced open by hand and not cut...kinda wish they would have just opened it a bit more with a scapel or something

i really have nothing to complain about, i have been running around all day out the house, ive already consumed 94 grams of protein! all from my shakes, now i can just pick and choose what to enjoy for the evening. its been so smooth.. i took a bunch of...items ;) last night and slept a good 10 hours.. woke u, was able to get out of bed on my own, and i am just now getting sore... 4 days post op, it was NOT a smart thing to do ( but i was pain med free) but i even felt well enough to do some driving and pick up a few things, go to the post office.

if anyone is wondering if they should sleeve or not, don't worry, if you can have this kind of recovery and be outside running around 4 days out of the hospital,

i was a type 2 diabetic before the operation...on metformin,, blood sugar was running between 177 and 210..

i can report 4 days post op it has been between 130 and 107! im off all diabetes meds, my bp was 130/86 a little while ago...no bp meds today either!. i check it again tonight, maybe they are gone too!

thanks for the love guys, your hear for me, and im hear for everyone else. :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
