trs111 got a reaction from nubginings in Ease my mind? Can I tear open my new pouch?
I just got home after getting sleeved on Tuesday (3/12). I was given discharge info that addressed what I can eat, and how to care for my incisions, etc. What I'm primarily concerned about is somehow ripping my pouch open. I talked to my nurse and she said just not to use my core, hold a pillow when I cough, things like that.
Does anyone know if it's possible to rip open your pouch doing day-to-day activities? I'm afraid to sleep in bed because I worry if I roll around too much something might happen. I'm also afraid to bend over, sit down and stand up...
Can anyone offer any advice?

Pouch. Sleeve. Heck, I could have called it Marvin. (And I might!)
I appreciate everyone's help.
And btw I feel great!

Thanks for easing my mind a little bit. I apologize that I was totally wrong referring to my "pouch" which was incorrect. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes. Remember the scene from Alien? It will happen just like that. True story.
