I made it to the losers bench. Btw can someone tell me why they call it that lol. I am post op 1 day... feeling a bit better still sore. Ive been giving toradol and something else that starts with a d lol i spent my whole day sleeping after the surgery was done. In a few hours im getting the leak test. And if all goes well ill be getting some liquids. I havent felt nauseous yet.

Congrats!

As to your question: Usually being resigned to the loser's bench in sports vernacular carries a derogatory connotation. Meaning you aren't as qualified or proficient as the rest of the team.

But being relegated to the loser's bench after weight loss surgery takes on a whole new meaning. You cross over from being a pre op to a post op. It signifies the beginning of a brand new life, as you now begin to "lose" the pounds and work your way towards a happy healthy new life!
