Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Hector, What procedure are you getting? I will be 4 months post op on 12/17.

LovinLife88 18 Posted December 2, 2016 How was your first week? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App It was painful...I didn't want to eat and barely wanted to drink I was constipated for a whole week I kept calling the surgery flr telling them the problem they kept telling all kinds of things to buy (so be careful with pain meds because that is what going to cause your constipation) if you have a recliner sleep in it that will be your best friend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
