  1. Mine took a week BCBSTX, call them, that seemed to make it quicker.
  2. I Felt fine until Last Wednesday when he removed my drain. Now I feel so week, I get light headed unless I'm sitting. Just going from the couch to the bathroom is a weird feeling. I went to the store with my husband yesterday & had to leave after 10 minutes because I couldn't stand anymore. I thought it may of been not enough protein or water but know I'm able to get my requirements in and still feel week. 9 days post op.
  3. No i mean I have 11 scars. 1 from the JP drain & each of my other 5 have 2 like equal signs = but more space between them.
  4. What I wish I was told before surgery is that each incision was going to be 2 cuts instead of 1. My hysterectomy scars are just 1 & my VSG scars are 2. Anyone else have this?
  5. Put 6 pounds of something in your shirt. That's what I did several years ago at a consult before I found out my insurance didn't pay for it & had to put it off. The doc I went & seen didn't even require me to take my jacket off to weigh so it was easy.
  6. How much of the pudding mix does everyone use
  7. Was sleeved last Thursday & I can't get my required amount of water or protien down. Yesterday I worked on a 23oz bottle of water from morning to night & still had some left. Protein drink I the same. It hurts to sip or drink anything. Even 1 oz shots of fluids will go down but it's like instant heart attack pains. I'm taking prevacid "that I never had to take before" I know it will eventually get better it's tuff. I am not hugary at all but I make myself sip water & set my phone alarm to try broth or soups or yogurt & I only get about 3 spoonfuls of that stuff & I can't handle anymore. Anyone else had this problem?
