My Bariatric team actually called to check up on me and they say the pain was normal. The nurse said there is a deep stitch down on the lower right side and it's probably just pulling.
Thanks guys

Yep that is where I had the worst pain was lower right side. It was an internal stitch that had to take time to dissolve.

I had all kinds of minor little weird pains.
do you have a one week post op appointment to go to where they might address this concern?
let us know how you are doing.

I got my revision date!! June 14th!!

I got mine out before I left the hospital and was really scared about getting it out! It was not the least bit painful but it did feel weird! The gas pain was what I remember the most.

I'll try my best not to worry
Thanks for the feedback!

I verified with my office that tricare prime takes the first weight in number. I was worried about that as well

I never had a drain before this surgery and was also very concerned. It was kind of weird in the beginning knowing that there is a hole and this tube is coming out of it. I just made sure to use a lot of tape and taped it to my belly well so I didn't have a chance to pull it, I was just nervous.
It wasn't bad...
When they removed it, it was very fast and no pain just a strange sensation.

In the short term it's the only thing that really scares me. When it was taken out did that hurt? Did it feel weird knowing it was hanging out of your insides? What is the general experience of it?
I'm worried but not stressed about surgery to much more than normal.

Even if you only get to 60-75% of the excess weight off with the surgery it puts you in a fantastic spot to be able to do the rest "on your own". If your following your doctors program then you should know how and what to eat at that point and be able to work on your head hunger and still be proud of yourself. That is still over half the weight gone. These surgeries are merely tools to help you reach your goals, you still have to put in the work no matter what you choose.
It's great that he's worried about you but I think you should take him to a support group and encourage him to answer these questions there, it could be very insightful for both of you.

unjury chocolate splendor for sure. I was surprised by how good it was. And I had tried a lot of things in the past on other diets.

I really enjoy the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate splendor with pb powder or sometimes with half a banana. I use the fairlife milk in mine.
But after one month my plan wants me getting most of my Protein from food, so the shakes have become a treat for me now and then when I need to grab something on the go.

Just got the call. Insurance approved. In record time it seems. Just submitted on Monday. I'm beyond excited, this makes it all real. I'm ready for June 7th to get here!!!!!????????????????????
