Nurse_Lenora 903 Posted February 12, 2016 I will say that being a female who carried a significant amount of weight in her abdomen I am glad I lost almost 30lbs pre op. When you lay on your side in bed that stomach pulls and can be very uncomfortable even with splinting with a pillow. I am glad I had a smaller abdomen thus less pulling ????

I am usually a side or stomach sleeper, but i just cant do it yet. Until that main incision pain goes away. Just the pulling on it is too much even with the compression bandage and the pillow support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrnAgn39 85 Posted February 15, 2016 So I am having surgery tomorrow and I can't get rid of this severe nausea. Fun times! I can't drink anything without gagging. Its my darn Migraine. I need crackers to settle my tummy or I will be puking all day. My bariatric clinic is closed today too so I can't calk and beg them for help. So anyway., I just needed to vent. Maybe I can attempt to nap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
