Two Week Post Op Check ...



Recommended Posts

Saw my surgeon today (the hottie) and he gave me the all clear!! Said I am probably the most compliant patient he has so far (Yay for OCD) and at the rate I am going I will most likely be his most successful patient. (now mind you he just started doing lap bands, he prefers RnY and the Sleeve) I don't know if that is saying much as I was # 14 I think he said. He didn't check my incisions cause my only complaint now is the itching (which we all know means healing) and I told him the one incision that looked like it might have been infected is closed and healing beautifully. So he is taking me at my word, but told me if anything changes to call straight away to get one of his walk in slots.

He also told me that I am cleared to mushy foods starting tomorrow. My brain's ocd mechanism wont listen, keeps telling me "nope his own post op documentations said Friday/Saturday not Wednesday." We shall see, I might actually eat the eggs in my egg drop Soup or maybe a bite or two just to see how I do then take it from there one day at a time.

I go in for my first fill July 1st though, I am actually looking forward to it!!

Well congrats on your surgery and the fact that you are compliant, even if it is the OCD "talking".....LOL...suppose this is one of the few times it is good to have OCD???

Also, seems kindof hard to not go to your monthly Dr.'s appointments when your doctor is hot, huh? If he says it is okay to start trying mushies, go for it, just BECAREFUL and do this in very tiny bits.

Best of luck to you.........

Yesh ... It is very hard to miss doctor appointments when your doc is a hottie ... :out::smile:

In all seriousness though I am sticking to this like my life depends on it (and if you think about it, it does) I just got my info packet on the local sheriffs department down here (I am thinking about enrolling in the police academy) and I really want to lose enough weight to go through it and make it through with flying colors IF I decide this is what I want.

OCD or not, I will be doing this right, and no flubs or faltering determination.

And it helps my doc is a hottie :wink2:

Congratulations on your success. I was just banded on May 12, I have lost a total of 21lbs since May 5 which is when I started my pre-op liquid diet. Looking forward to my two week appointment on May 27 to be okayed to start mushy foods.

      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.

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