2 Week Post Op Appt Today

So today was my 2 week post op appt. It went really well. Weighted in at 225.8 lbs. My incisions are really looking good. Dr H said scar that is my left that is dimpled will start to look a little more normal in about 2 weeks or so. I was telling him about the pain that I experienced on Sun/Mon and he said it was from over doing it this weekend. He was telling me how common it was to have pain of this type about 10 days out from surgery.

 

One of the receptionists who had a VSG said that she wears a binder for support that really helps her a lot with jut everyday pain. So off to L&D I went to get one. I do have to say it is suprisingly comfortable and it does help with my belly pain. I plan to wear it tomorrow night to work to see if it helps...We'll see. Kind of nervous about going back to work. Hope i'm not to sore after working 2 12 hour shifts back to back...

 

I can now start to exercise as I wish. He said to use pain as my guide. Don't start off like crazy but start slow and use my body as my guide as to how hard I can exercise

 

As for eating. Dr H said I am good to go as far as food is concerned. Just be carefu and let my body tell me what I can handle. His comment was " the worst that can happen is you will throw up" LOL..

LAP-BAND Patients

Hey Elibu...I am happy to hear that you are doing well after surgery! You mentioned a stomach binder. What kind of binder and where can I get one. Maybe I will try to find something before the surgery to I have it on hand afterwards! ;0)

Gastric Sleeve Patients

I am an L&D nurse so I just got one that we use for our c section patients. I know you can buy them at regular retail stores that have a maternity dept. Possibly even places like Walgreens or CVS might have them. Some places call them Belly Bands... I bet even Babies R US might have them...

I wore it a little today and it does make a difference..A little scratchie but not to bad. I am going to wash it to try to soften it up some...
