  1. I want to encourage you today. Dizziness could be a sign of dehydration. I say get as much fluids as possible 64oz of water. Call your physician if you can and ask questions. I suggest you can go to a something like a state hospital if you think you are in need of care. Follow up with a physician and Nut is important. I had some of those same symptoms which improved with fluids. Hoping you feel better. You can do it.
  2. I agree about staying positive. I refuse to let negativity cloud my vision for my Success and my Health. I'm Blessed to be here today and on this Journey. I'm a slightly slow looser. Inches matters most. Lol

  4. I think you should best try to follow your physicians advice. And I do agree with your physician walking and also coughing exercises using your incentive spirometer to prevent pneumonia. Best of Luck
  5. I would double check with your Physician first! Fo me I had a pain above my belly button that was at my big suture site and it was because I drove too soon. It was soreness that was alleviated with rest and medication. But only Your physician can best advise you of your symptoms. Be persistent and get some professional advise. Best of Luck to you.

  19. Have it checked out ASAP. I totally understand about the shifts you want to get back to. But have your incision looked. Go to Urgent care or ER if you feel its worse . We have to take care of selves first. I am a Nurse too. And i too have and incision in the same spot that is completely healed on top but i m not cleared to go back for six weeks total. Every one and their Surgeons orders are different. I've stop the pain medication but do get a little pain driving once etc. hope this helps I'm 2 weeks out.
