1Corinthians6:19 53 Posted November 14, 2014 Had my surgery this morning! So far I've had very little discomfort. Just some gas which goes away pretty quick with a Gas-X dissolvable strip. Sipping Water and watching Scandal. Hopefully I'll feel just as good tomorrow. I was expecting to feel kinda crappy…has anyone else had an experience similar to mine?

Wvcari 84 Posted November 17, 2014 I feel way better than I expected. This is day 3 for me and the only pain I have is in my shoulders and neck that's just hanging on. My incisions feel fine unless I bump them on something. I have an allergy to adhesive so the steri strips are itching me like crazy. Taking benadryl to help until I can get those off. Doc said leave them until they come off, but I don't think I can wait that long! Taking eating very slow, but yesterday I drank too much too fast and had horrible hiccups.

1Corinthians6:19 53 Posted November 17, 2014 Omg...did the hiccups hurt? Glad you're feeling pretty good. They put this clear glue on my incisions and mine are starting to dry up. I got up to 3 shakes today so I'm really proud of that. Still have a little gas in my abdomen. Never got it in my shoulder though. I think sleeping at an incline has helped.

Wvcari 84 Posted November 17, 2014 The hiccups were very uncomfortable. Lesson learned.....slow down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wvcari 84 Posted November 17, 2014 I finally had to take the steri strips off. They were blistering my skin. My incisions look good. Just swipe them with alcohol on cotton ball couple times a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rojasanoll 920 Posted November 17, 2014 I had a bit of gas but a heating pad helped alleviate the gas. I drove my car the next day and attended a diet meeting in our nearby hospital. Some people were shocked that I drove and felt fine during my introduction. I had a lapband and the surgery was easier than the others. Best wishes and Keep the faith.
