3 of the 5

Wondering how was your surgery? Where did they place your port looks low to me. What protein drinks did you go with and how is your weight loss coming along. I am waiting for my approval

my port is about 4" straight over from the incision you see on the right of the photo. or at least that is where i'm assuming it is. my surgery went wonderfully. no issues. not an unusual amount of pain. I went in at 4:30am on friday and was discharged around 11am on saturday. my incisions were glued with stitches inside that will dissolve. I've not had any trouble sleeping on my side since i got home. Things are progressing very normally from what i read and i'm very anxious to go for my first pre op appointment on friday morning!

I could not tolerate any of the protein drinks. I was on the liquid diet for two weeks prior. My doctore gave the ok for me to drink skim milk. It was a hard two weeks. Since 8/7 which was the start of my liquid diet i've lost 16 lbs. My only real complaint these past couple days is the pain in my left shoulder and chest, which i hear is from the gas they use during the surgery which irritates the diaphram. Good luck with your approval, i know for me once i had that it went quickly from there!!!
