I don't get it. why would they need tongs. How did they clean themselves before surgery?

Tongs are recommended for really high BMI people immediately after surgery because the incisions make it hard for them to stretch around to the back.

It's not a DS thing though. The first time I read about using tongs was here on LBT.

True, yet not. The higher BMI DS folks have more cutting and more dissection, they can't... well, they don't have long enough arms. :blush:/

I started at a BMI of 61.9 419 lbs I've never needed tongs when I have had surgery and I won't when I get banded in 3 weeks lol...

I guess the DSer's arms get tired from having to wipe so often...LOL

HAHA....that cracked me up! Yes, I am easily amused by bathroom humor! I will also share a horrible tale that happened Thursday at work. My coworker who had DS was complaining about stomach trouble after lunch. A few hours later, I walked into the hall and started gagging and nearly passed out! Yes, she had kindly sprayed, but that just made it smell like orange death! It took about half an hour for the cloud to clear!

Blech...

Do you suppose they rinse off the tongs before putting them back in the kitchen drawer?

Immediate POST OP Hygeine question (possible TMI)

And here, the poor doc is trying to warn her but does she listen?

so, please be honest with me about this

I know everybody poops, but......come on. They are a little hung up on bowel issues.

I guess the DSer's arms get tired from having to wipe so often...LOL

Heeheehee........

I wonder if she used "just a drop" or "poo-pouri"?!?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
