bubba6377 16 Posted November 1, 2013 One week post op and I'm down 12 pounds. I was feeling really well today, so I replaced the hallway light fixtures and started painting the hall. Crazy that two days ago I couldn't get out of bed without pain meds. 2 Kiki75 and back2barb78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malaika13 12 Posted November 1, 2013 I'm feeling good thanks! I have been trying to stay hydrated - that's probably been the toughest thing. I'm surprised that I have little pain - not much gas pain either. I haven't used pain meds since the hospital. How r u doing? I am glad that you are progressing so well. I am still using my gas x strips. I am still walking a lot. I'm so happy, I broke down today 1 MsK1972 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thinnatater 36 Posted November 1, 2013 Took mine off after 3 days but I had 0 pain and no issues I'd say play it by ear unless otherwise told by a doctor Sent from my iPad using VST I am in the same boat - no pain and no issues - I so bad want to take it off because its a bit annoying but if I have to keep it on I will. Maybe I should call to find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
