Milestone at 2 weeks



Recommended Posts

Today I am 2 weeks out. I have been one of the patients who has experienced bad pain from internal stirches pulling. It's been so discouraging and I've cried at the drop of a hat, wishing I had not done this. My sweet husband, who has a broken foot, has been working all day then coming home and waiting on me. Well, what do you think? I went to bed hurting last night, woke up with no pain! I kept waiting for it to show up, it's not there! I took a shower, dressed, am sitting outside, no pain! It's a miracle! My stitches are not dissolvable per my physician so who knows! All I know is there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel, for those who are waiting! And guess what else.., I put on makeup and after exactly one month (pre and post-op), I can begin to see my former face emerge. It's been years since I saw that face. I am so happy. God bless us all!

i am 2 weeks out today and i still have terrible pain in the one trocar site on the right where they took the stomach out. i had vomiting after surgery and i don't know if that made things worse, but i am doubled over sometimes still in pain with burning that radiates to my right flank/back. still on pain pills and waiting to be pain free.

Limbo, that was like me. It was so painful I would cry. Felt like a sword in me. I debated whether to try and push through the pain or take bed rest, getting up to shower, fix my drinks, etc. i decided bed was all I could do and it seems to have worked. I have gotten only minor walking in but it was the best I could do. Please tell your doc to refill that prescription and just take them and hang in there. I can't help but believe yours will dissipate soon as well. God bless.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
