  6. I got a new tat about 6 months After surgery
  7. Just take it easy,move carefully of course no popcorn or soda. Take water with you hide it in your friends bag
  8. You can drive as soon as you are off pain meds for 24 Hrs. if you can move and be comfortable I'd go to the movie,although I'd opt for 4 days after surgery
  9. Try a product called colon health.its sold in same section with all the other laxitives,its in a pink bottle
  10. I just had mine removed couple Weeks ago. I didnt even need pain meds after,very easy compared to the sleeve. I drove myself to my post op apt 5 days later.on mine however they did 4 new cuts,didnt reuse old cuts
  11. When you wake up,they will get you up and walking as soon as possible. Ask for water or ice chips.and drink or suck as much as you can. Other than,,that,qhen you get home,dont over do it,if you have help at home,use them to take care of everything else, you concentrate on you
  12. Wear loose fitting clothes,sweats work very well. Or your jammies. You dont want constrictive clothes, your stomach will probably be swollen from the gas they use to inflate your abdomen with and surgery itself can cause swelling,so yoy really want to be as comfortable as possible
  13. I was also told regular bacon was better than Turkey bacon. I bake mine in the oven. 350 degrees for about 30 min or so. Use parchment paper on cookie sheets.its great
  14. Turkey jerky is awesome,although it can be really easy to eat a whole pkg in one day if you are nibbling all day,it is rather salty.but soooo good
  15. Mu thtoat hurt for a couple days after,the combination of breathing tube and oxygen while in the hospital, I was miserable,couldnt get enough water but after a while it was all good
  16. Oops just reread you reply,its not your gall bladder.
  17. Well if it is your gall bladder it will happen again. Sometimes it will make you want to throw up, I had 2 "attacks" and I knrw what it was,called my pcp and he ordrted an ultrasound,sure enough gallstones,had my gallbladder out 2 Weeks latee
  18. Grays are unrelated to surgery. I started going gray in my 20s. I dye mine auburn,goes well with my complexion and green eyes
  19. You should try and find a Dr in your area. A baratric surgeon of course,ask if they will accept patients who had their surgery done elsewhere,also definitely find a support group to attend,that's really a must. My surgeon will accept anyone but im in Tucson az
  20. Can also make them with chicken brotj,yummier and ads a little protein
