June surgeries!

Yes! Lol go buy some hydrocortisone cream and put it on. Works wonders! The itching means your incisions are healing properly.

My doctor said no creams or ointments on my incisions. So maybe you should call first just to make site. Probably depends a lot on the type of dressing.

I'm in pain, meds only last four hours and I have to keep up on them. Anyone else having more pain after leaving the hospital?

When did you have surgery? I am thinking you may be having gas pains. I had some pretty sharp pains that felt like a knife in my side, and I came to find out that it was gas. It went away about 4-5 days post op. But some people have it longer.

I taken my pain meds everyday until today and I'm on my 6th day post op. and I hurt everyday... Everyone's different. I mean they did after all stick 6 things thru your abdominal wall and re arrange your insides. I thinks it only natural to hurt for a week or so!

One of my friends asked why I didn't just do diet and exercise instead of have the surgery.

I. Hate. People.

Think we're all getting the same question. People are a holes

I loved 'oh you're not big enough to need surgery!!!!' At my highest I was 312 lbs and I'm 5'6. Heck yes I was big enough!!! Crazy people!

HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 212

I got the same comments about not being large enough. But when I asked people to guess my weight no one was on the money and most were surprised how much I actually weighed.

I got this from a nurse in the hospital!!!

"Aren't you kind of small to be having this surgery?"

I wanted to!!! lol

How about if I wasn't heavy enough my doctor and insurance would have given me a big old NO!

[Texasmike 25]

The nurses at the hospital called me a light weight since my BMI was lower than 40. I did not get upset since they took fantastic care of me while I was there.

Mine was right under 40 too.... and lots of people said the same. But that's after preop diet. Now i'm 30 lbs down and the same people comment on how much better I look.... amazing how their opinions change

[futuremrsparker 288]

I'm curious as to what people at work will say when I go back tomorrow... Especially the ones that had the same surgery, but gave me he'll for getting it. I'm almost 25lbs down since surgery.
