My doc doesn't fill at all during surgery. At 6 weeks postop you get your first fill of 2.5 cc then you go every 6 weeks as needed. It seems very conservative compared to what I read on here.

My Doc makes you wait 6 weeks...

Thanks so much y'all!! I'm anxiously awaiting my guest fill, which is next Tuesday.

I love my coffee and waited 3 weeks postop to try it. Thankfully, no problems. I now use it as my daily "treat" and I look forward to it! I've also played around with creating my own versions of iced coffees and they are delish and low cal! Just add 1/2 cup milk, 1 pack instant coffee, and sugar free creamer to taste..blend and poor over ice! So good!

Crazy how good losing 20 lbs can make you feel! Im currently 5 weeks postop and have lost a total of 26.1 lbs!! woohoo! i just came across this side by side at 3 weeks postop and thought i would share. I can't even imagine how good I'll feel this time next year! So excited about the rest of my life. #noregrets

I've never had this problem. II had my gall bladder out 6 yrs ago, so I've always had the other problem. Thanks for y'all's quick responses..I'm desperate!

Please tell me what works for you! I'm hurting so bad! I'm 3 weeks post op. Thanks!

Thanks y'all! Lots of ideas and suggestions

You look great!! Congrats! Thanks for the reminder about losing inches...it's hard not to focus on the scale all the time! Lol

I love playing in my flower beds. I love seeing all the new buds and plants poking through

I'm also 5 days out and I've felt mucus accumulating in my throat also. Tmi, but I've been spitting it out to get rid of it.

Congrats on your surgery!!! I had mine yesterday and the gas is by far the main problem I'm having. I've used the gas stops, walked and now wrapped up in a heated blanket ...hoping for relief soon!

Thank you all so much! Surgery went good, they repaired a large hernia. At home now sipping, warm blanket across my back & shoulders and walking laps around my house every hour. Gas pains are intense, but otherwise I'm doing good
