2 Weeks And The Drain Is Still In

I had the sleeve on December 20, and after my 1 week post op appt, the doc felt that there was still too much blood in my drain tube and said I had to keep it in another week (sigh). I can't wait to get this out because it is such a pain trying to exercise with this little grenade bumping up against me all the time. I see the doc tomorrow, so I hope he takes it out!

 

On another note, I have stalled in this second week. I have read that this might occur, so I am hopeful that the cycle will break soon, but it's hard not looking at the scale every day. I lost 10 lbs pre-op and another 10 lbs the week after my surgery, but NOTHING since then! Oh well.

I hope your are able to get your drain out soon! That will probably make you feel a lot better. As for the stall, I am in my 4th week and have been at a stall for a week and a half to two weeks! I think it is normal, but I am wondering how long it will last.... kinda frustrating!!

Good luck,

Rachel :)
