November Dates

[kauaigirl808 39]

Postop day six has left me so surprised n it just started. I took my mom to work this morning, she works @ a medical center so i seen it as an opportunity to finally jump on a scale since the last time i was weighed was right before going in to surgery i was 365lbs. Now i have not been able to use a weighted scale in years since it only goes up to 350lbs. So of course the closes scale to my moms office is a weighted, but i figure what's the harm in trying it... imagine my surprise when i stepped on slid the main weight to 300 and started sliding the little weight.. i look at my mom n told her am i doing this wrong?! She came over and looked the slid the little weight around some more and said nope babe you are 344lbs. (Jaw dropped) today has made all the pain and uncomfortableness of the past 6 days worth it... however i do know that when my dr. Finds out he will probably tell me its way to much weight and its probably because i am having a hard time consuming my liquids but ever day gets a little better so here's hoping to continued improvement and continued weight loss...good luck today to all those having there procedures done today:)

Hello November dates,

Who went in last week? I did on Wednesday so I am now six days out, four days home from hospital. Doing ok just a little trouble with my drain. It keeps leaking onto the bandages even though they rest itched it in the hospital.

How is everyone else doing?

glad you are home.

How long do you have to have the drain?

Wishing you the very best and hope everyday is better and better,

Newbie I went in Wed last week my drain was removed Friday before I was discharged and I have nothing coming out of it. I just keep a dry dressing on it. While I was in the hospital I did have some draining around the tube at the insertion site but they said that was all normal then it almost but stopped before I left.

Vicki I am supposed to keep the drain for two weeks because I had the Lapband in first so they took it out and them did the bypass. The surgery was also much longer five hours. I am sore but not too bad just jealous that my family is eating and I am doing shakes. I think the emotional side of this is going to be much more difficult to deal with.
