1st Post-op Appt Update (10 Days Gastric Sleeved!)

[favoredone 590]

Hey Guys...

Well, let's see... I'm feeling great, trying to remember NOT to do too much....My appt was w/ the NP in my surgeon's office.. Really nice lady...She removed my staples, checked my vitals..

My BP was pretty good (Thank You Jesus!!) - 133/82 .. It was running pretty high...

Respiratory stuff is good.. She thinks the mucus thing is a combo of reflux and my compromised Resp system (had pneumonia in the spring and several bouts of bronchitis since then).... I now take Prevacid 2x a day, instead of one.

Everything else was cool.. (besides an oozing, weeping incision near my belly button!!.. no infection, just a lot of Fluid coming out.. ) she wants me to keep up w/ the meds and keep moving..

OH... I now weigh.... 341!! That's 19 pounds less than my surgery day!!!! YEAH!!!!

Sounds good! I'm glad the issue wasn't too serious. I'm sure continuing your breathing apparatus with the Prevacid will help.

Yayyyy!!! Congrats on the weight loss so early out!!!

Wow, 19 pounds!!! I'm doing the Happy Dance for you since your still taking it kinda slow. But as soon as you can move around more, then you can do your own HAPPY DANCE!!!!
