PaulDaniel 23 Posted April 18, 2016 That is so cool. So you must of been up on the six floor with me at the same time. I had the best nurses while I was up there. I had my two week postop last Wednesday with Dr Hodgett and he cleared me for everything. Yes that left side pain is still there very tender even my shirt rubbing against it bothers it. But I am excited that I am losing weight. He must've been busy that day I was the first one I think my surgery was 7:30 AM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulDaniel 23 Posted April 18, 2016 Yeah the sneezing and the coughing pretty rough the first couple weeks. It has gotten a little better but it still hurts. My biggest thing is it depends on how I sit if it's going to hurt me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMix 8 Posted April 18, 2016 I had my post op on Thursday. Cleared as well. Yes sixth floor.. Small world. My next appt isn't until July now.

Lori222 13 Posted April 18, 2016 Ok, I'm at 70g here. Just wondered if everyone was about the same. It sure is hard to get it in on a daily basis. I cannot get any more Protein shakes down. Lori Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulDaniel 23 Posted April 28, 2016 The left side is where my largest incision is and where they took stomach out. A lot is due to my gun belt rubbing up against incision while at work. Been taking Tylenol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
