Hello My surgery was September 19. Funny thing is my September 19 was a Monday not a Friday like the first post said. Maybe that person lives in a different time zone...lol. Anyway I had no pain until today. I'm 2 days out. Just wondering why pain today and not before? Anyway, everything was smoothe as silk until today. Pain Meds rock. Any suggestions or ideas? Not real bad pain but enough to notice. Just weird I'm so happy. I was depressed for so long because of weight. Now I just keep smiling. This is huge. Going back to sleep now. TTYL J

More pain day 2 post op. Why? I had no pain until today. Today is day 2 post op. I had little to no pain yesterday and minimal right after surgery. Granted I forgot and lifted 3 bags of groceries about 4 Vitamin waters in each bag. Should I call doc or just rest cannot lift. Pain isn't extreme, just didn't exist before. Any ideas?

I think your sweating so much cz of all that heat your putting in your hair. Wash, hot Water then hair dryer then flat Iron, Damn I would be sweating too. Braids, braids, braids. Then when you take it down in 3 months it will be so healthy. Get it done every 3 -4 months for a year and watch how long and healthy it will be. Make sure you dont cut the braids where you "think" your hair Is but give an extra 3 inches you will be pleasantly surprised. J

Hi, just curious what my psych is suppose to report to my surgeon. Is there some standard format?

I'm confused. What is my psychiatrist suppose to report to my surgeon? Is there a form or a format? Any suggestions? Also, how did your psych eval go? I just don't know what to tell my psych my surgeon needs. J
