Day 6 (Drainage Bag Removed)

By charitymarroquin

· 399 views

Day 6: I got by drainage bag and most of my stitches out today! YAY! :thumbup: I'm so happy! I couldn't wait to get that tube out of my stomach. Yuck! :mad0: I feel 100% better! :biggrin2:

 

They only left the stitches by my belly button and I get those out in another week. I'm so happy that I can start feeling "normal" again...

 

I have a little pain, but not much. The doctor said taking the stitches and the tube out wasn't going to hurt, but he lied! :scared0: I was ready to scream! But it was worth it! :cursing:

 

I've lost 10 lbs. so far. I have been so hungry today! :drool: I so wish I could eat something of substance! Somehow I'll have to make it on my clear liquids... :angry:

    I am so happy that you are doing better. I will be glad to see pictures of you after you lose some more.

    I posted an update on "Tell Your Story" on my thread, "Waiting! Getting Closer to having my VSG surgery". It is rather long, but I wanted to let you know all my information has been submitted to insurance to see if I get approved Finally-----!!!
