I had my surgery, technically yesterday, about 12 hours ago. It went very text book. My surgeon said it was boring for him lol. I was expecting the 4 incisions, but there’s one on my under belly... the “apron” is less and completely glued down. Anyone else experience this? And do you know why? My nurse should be back within 30 minutes and I’ll ask then but just curious if others got them as well

I’m on surgery day and actually doing great. Had my surgery 11 hours ago and I had two weeks of liquid diet and it took 3 days to get over hunger pain and sugar withdraw headick. I lost 28 lbs on my liquid diet and I could eat all the weggies I wanted raw or steamed and sugar free popsicle and Jello with crystal light drinks. Good luck and you get there it is so worth it. Look at long term result and you do fine.

I have 5 enry points and I have a removable Velcro band covering my tummy and I can remove it if I want but seems like it’s holfing stuff together so I’m leaving it be. I’m on surgery day as well 11 hrs ago and feel good no gas and just minor pain

[Keenikwe 82]

I have that air/gas pains - they were horrible at first but have lessened a lot ... I am experiencing gerd from my Water but my nurse explained that the pouch is so so swollen that it’s temporary and should get better with each passing 12 hours

[Keenikwe 82]

Oh and that apron part was stuck together from the antibacterial stuff... I’ve since pulled it apart lol my nurse explained it and helped me 🤦🏻‍♀️[emoji23]

Thankyou for the encouragement and I’m glad your doing good . Yes I can have all the veggies I want too hopefully the hunger goes away for me too . It’s the hardest part smelling food at work . Lol the evening shift at the hospital likes to eat . I did get a bad headache tonight and I am having Charlie horses. Maybe I’m not getting in enough potassium ?

“I got great sleep in my semi-private hospital room,” said no one

[Henning 46]

I’m lucky to have private room. Had a great sleep hardly any pain. Just the normal bitaland blood draw wake up. So much better than expected

[Keenikwe 82]

I had requested a private room so my husband could stay overnight, but they are reserved for icu patients first and then they move down the reserved list

Oh luckily I haven't had hunger since about day 3 cause I am driving king 6 high Protein Meal Replacement shakes...they are kinda like slim fast...so once I found a flavor I liked I was good
