amylynns 802 Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks Amy for sharing on the Iron thing. I am trying to get in front of this. I lost a lot of blood with one of my baby deliveries I ended up anemic and with post partum depression. I do not want to go down that road again. It was terrible and I had zero energy. Dc0520 Sorry to hear about pain. Everyone says the gas pain is bad in the first couple days but make sure they take care of you with pain meds. I imagine it must be hard. we are thinking of you.

Hopefully we won't have issues with Vitamins. That and hair loss are really a worry of mine. I'll be sure to do everything my Dr. says to minimize any kind of complications for sure!

_2juicy_ 13 Posted October 8, 2014 An update, had my surgery Oct 1st. Went well, with no complications. Right now I'm home 7 days post op. My incisions are doing well, not causing me any pain other then when I bend over. I was driving 5 days post op, and also stopped taking my pain meds 5 days post op. I've been out window shopping in the mall, just for the walking really and to get out the house. The most daunting thing is still being on Clear liquids, which hopefully will change when I see my nut and surgeon Thursday. How are all the other new sleeves doing?

Jyoyonomore 319 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) to have Hey amylynns glad your feeling better. What day is this for your PreOp liquids? Hey Amylynns my surgeon told me no Motrin, ibuprofen 7 days before so if you had to have a headache this first week was probably best. You might want to check with your surgeon to see what they want you to do. Edited October 8, 2014 by Jyoyonomore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
