Yikes I don't know. I have mine on Dec 10th. I think they told us in class that unless it is oozing stuff that's it's ok. But it would not hurt just the call the doctors office and ask that's why they're there. Keep us posted.

One of my incisions felt like it had a knot under it, was slightly warm and did bruise by day 4. It continued to be sore for about 2 weeks while the other incisions didn't hurt much. I was told that one incision gets used more than the others and can hurt more. After 2 weeks, it still had a bit of a knot, but it's gone now. I had my surgery on October 15.

I was in 3 nights. I had rny and gall bladder removed. You will be fine. Make sure you get up and walk. It helps with the gas.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
