TJL 222 Posted October 12, 2013 Butter, you are already looking good, can't wait to see some pics when you are all healed up. My sister just had one on Tuesday, she said it wasn't as bad as she thought it was going to be, hope you have a speedy recovery time. 1 Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aquaman00067 7 Posted October 15, 2013 Bean, Hadn't talked to you in a while. I got a new job and moved to the raleigh area of NC. Congrats on the surgery!!! You looking good Brother, How long did you lay on the couch before you came up with the cat bite the drain line? was that before or after the second dose of morphine? Joking aside you look great and I am so proud of you. It sounds like recovery time is quite a bit longerr than the origional VSG surgery. I know you are missing your running. I have been running a couple of months and the spare tire bouncing is not very comfortable at all in the tshirt. Does the spanx/compression help with this? Again congrats and I'll keep in touch. 1 No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got one drain left and the cat just won't bite it.....I wish he would. It should come out Wednesday regardless. And yes....I ran in one of these. And while I didn't love it....it made running a heck of alot easier. http://www.makemeheal.com/mmh/product.do?id=93735 Edited October 15, 2013 by Butterthebean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 17, 2013 Day 16 post op.....had my follow up visit with the doc today. Everything is going well. He took out the last drain thankfully. They are pleased with how little swelling I have...so am I. It's gonna be at least 5 more weeks before I can get back to exercise....and sitting around is no doubt the hardest part. But it's all so worth it. Finally I can see the results from all the hard work I've done. It's amazing the difference in my self image...looking in the mirror and actually seeing abdominal muscles for the first time in my life is priceless. 9 sarsar, TheRealMeIsHere!, CBT and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
