Does anyone know if you can take charcoal caps with you to the hospital to take post-op and also, if anyone has used them, have they been helpful with the gas issue? I take them at home sometimes to help with GI issues...

chamomile tea worked wonders. it works on colicky babies and it worked for me after surgery

I’m sorry you are going through this. My surgery is scheduled the 27th and I’m 90% sure I’m going to cancel it. I’m terrified of complications. I hope things get better.

just curious how your feeling about getting the surgery now

12/19 I was discharged from the hospital early that morning my midline infiltrated with potassium. Late afternoon they still allowed me to go mainly because I had my follow up with the Dr the next day 12/20. At my appt low oxygen, sweating, couldn’t get in more then 10oz, terrible pain in my arm. My surgeon sent me right to the ER finding out I have a Blood clot in my arm. I really do pray and hope i’m not the girl that’s always back to the hospital

Are you home now? Feeling any better?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
