Bariatric Stuffed coughing support Bear



Recommended Posts

Anyone else get one of these?

We each got this weird stuffed bear with instructions on how to hold him against our bellies to brace for coughing. He's made to kind of fit against you and provide support.

He's kinda fun....wears a little teeshirt that has illustrations of your procedure on it so you can show people with a visual.

Weird, but kinda sweet. He has no butt. LOL And he's kinda ugly.

Isn’t there some kind of law against calling a Teddy Bear ‘kinda ugly’? 🤣🤣🤣

I think he's cute- when I had my gall bladder out in the bad old days when surgeries were open I had a chicken pillow. Why did I need one, instead of a subcostal which was more or less traditional I had a right paramedian which meant I had an incision to "splint" when I coughed. Boy Chickie was my best buddy for awhile, think he's upstairs in the toy chest, wonder if he wants to go to Columbus on my Bariatric journey?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
