Okay so I had my surgery on Tuesday, and let me just say the first twelve hours I felt like I was going to die I was in so much pain.. But it passed now it's soreness, I was wondering how many of you feel extremely tight on the right abdomen when trying to move, sit, stand up or bend?? Like to were it almost feels like if you don't support your stomach it's going to pop open?? Cause I'm having this issue right now and it's pretty pain full and scary! Any suggestions? I have 5 incisions from having the VSG done.

I order a bariatric support belt because it hurt if I didn't support myself. As I lost weight the first 4 weeks it felt like it was pulling on the large incision. I'm 6 weeks post and do not have any more problems.

My husband went to get me a brace, emailed my nurse she said would be fine so long as doesn't rub on my incisions I too feel the pull more so on the larger incision.

Please share brands of brace that you bought or have liked. From images it is hard to imagine one that fits and doesn't hit incisions

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
