I had my drain removed yesterday am. The nurse said after to use gause for a few days and allow it to close on it's own. Changing the gause for the second time just now and there's a little bit of pus where the wound had dried to the gause. I plan on calling the doc in the am but figured on asking here just to get the general consensus so I can sleep instead of panicking. thanks

Yes. I tried broth and jello and water. I'm afraid to try anything else.

I was discharged from the hospital yesterday and vomited all night long only to be readmitted to the er again this morning. They did a CT scan and everything was fine with the surgery. They gave me zofran and sent me home but I just vomited again. I have been following the diet to a tee, and since I got home with the vomiting I have been sticking to water to stay hydrated. Any thoughts? I don't want to go back to the er.

No. We're in Texas at Fort Hood.

My surgery date it's the same as yours and I'm so anxious. I had to go and find a comorbidity (I barely had sleep apnea) so I got my insurance to cover it. Good luck! I'm doing my pre op diet right now.

I just got my consult put in this morning. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, whether it be the lap band or the sleeve or the Rouen Y. The lap band idea freaks me out. I'm going to the meeting on the 15th of November at the hospital to see what I can see.
