Congratz on the weight loss and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :D :D

Deb

I am 8 months post op and have been drinking fluids as I did pre-op for several months now. For example I can drink 20 oz. of Water in a couple of minutes. I have zero problems drinking or eating anything.

Good luck on your journey,

Deb

I had a drain just for the one nite hospital stay. No big deal!!!

Deb

Welcome Pasquini to the forum.

Good luck on your journey.

Deb

My surgeon requires you to give yourself an injection of Arixtra everyday for 7 days post op. It was 500 dollars for 8 single dose, prefilled syringes. I have heard some surgeons require an injection of blood thinner for up to a month. Some require nothing after surgery. As we know each surgeon is different.

Good luck!!!

Deb

Deb

I say you are never to old. We have lots of living to still do peeps. GO FOR IT.

Deb

My surgeon requires NO MAKE UP,NO COLOGNE, NO NAIL POLISH, so I just figured no acrylic nails, and NO JEWERLY. I was like DANG how am I suppose to look good for surgery. I looked a hot mess. LOL.

Deb

Congratz :D :D

Deb

My surgeon does one while you are still on the operating table, then the hospital (per Doc's orders) does one the next day after surgery.

Just for my own piece of mind I would want the leak test performed at least once.

Deb

Make sure to follow Dr's instructions!! You have had abdominal surgery and you don't want to put any undue stress on your core. My doc said only walking for the first several weeks. Weights / pilates, etc after 6 to 8 weeks. You can lose weight without exercise. Of course, you want to exercise to keep your body healthy. just don't jump the gun and start too soon. You are still recovering from major surgery.
