Like a lasagne but more health. Google it.

Thanks man, I had no idea what it meant. Need to ask my Doc what size is mine :-)

What is a bougie and what does the number mean? Is that the size of your sleeve?

Weight before surgery: 440 lbs Current weight: 394 lbs Surgery date: March 3, 2012

Hi, yes I had severe pain and swelling in my right leg week 2 post op. Went to local A&E and was told I have DVT. I was given a 5 day course of injections (blood thinners) to desolve any clots. After 5 day course had to have a scan/ultrasound on my legs to check if any clots left. Thankfully, there were none. I have to wear compression knee hifh socks for 4 weeks. Read up on symptoms and things to look out for on DVT. This saved my life because if I had left it I could of had a heart attack or a clot on my lung.

Soft scrambled egg with soft cheese has never tasted this good before.

It took me about 10 days post op to be comfortable enough to drive.

Hi All, just returned from my DVT scan and got the all clear. No Warfarin tablets, Yippee. Told to wear compression socks for the next 4 weeks. Don't have a problem with that. Thanks guys for your kind words.

Well day 7 post op did not start off great. 4:30am woke up with stabbing pain in right upper leg. Quick look on Internet and suggests DVT. Called taxi and went to hospital A&E. Leg swelled up a bit and very tender to touch. D-dimer blood test confirmed very high levels. Given a 5 day corse of Anticoagulation medicine to inject tummy and next Friday go for scan on legs. The pain now is a hot dull burning sensation. Awful feeling.

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I'm managing the liquid diet. Get full very quick tho. Taking multivits and taking short walks. Had coffee withdrawal headache for the last 5 day. Today is a good day. No headache :-)
