  21. Ok this may be a dumb question but I can't get a hold of my surgeon and I'm not sure when to pull off my bandages?! I'm 4 days post-op ... Should they be off? Can I shower w them off? Should I take them off and place new ones ontop?! Ahhhh someone help! One of them fell off and I'm about to shower should I cover it or leave it?
  22. How much weight have you lost && how far post op are you?!
  23. Iegal... Thanks!! That was moments before they put my IV in! Lol my pre op nurse was like well I haven't had to many people go under w w full face of make-up!! But I figured hey being single as a domlar bill u never know when u might come across a dr that sees potential in ya!! ???????? I'm silly!
  24. I have Benin minimal pain... The only pain that I get is the gas but that just last for like 3-10 max then it's all gone .. Just keep up on ur painted and u will be just fin! When I get up I have to be careful because my left side hurts when I move wrong but that was expected they say the cut on the left side is the worst... But today I went on a little walk outside so I'm found good!! Just keep up w ur meds!!! They won't let u go if ur in to much pain!!
  25. Thanks wings!!! I'm very excited about it everytime I step on the scale it makes it worth it!! @kim ... I was super excited for my surgery and my journey, the anxiety didn't hit me till the night before when I realize omg! I'm really doing this.. Couldn't really sleep either I was tossing an turning!! By the time i got to the hospital my blood pressure was through the roof at a smooth 156/111 lol but my intake nurse was super amazing and reassured me I was doing the right thing for my life and health! After that she weighed me had me use the rest room took me back to my bed where there was a hospital gown that had an opening for a machine to shoot warm air In that helps calm u and makes your vein more visible for the IV (that was what I was scaredest about!!) but once I was there in my warm cacoon they Gave me a couple pills... One was for nausea the other was for pain afterwards that supposed to be long lasting...and the best one for anxiety!!! That one truly helped it started working w/in ten mins and I just completely relaxed I was joking w the nurses and not a care in the world! Your eyes feel heavy and ur so relaxed that they took my blood pressure again and it was back down to 121/79 I think or somewhere around there! I was reeled into where the actual surgery was going to be and the antisiologist (sp check) greeted me and told me it was time he was going to connect this tube to my IV an hook up some monitors and for me to count to 15.. The last number I remember was 4!! Next thing I knew I was waking up and being taken to my room!!! I think that being nervous is normal! Just ask ur self is this something you really want ... And if the answer is yes then I say all the anxiety is worth it because once your there in pre op they help w that and afterward to me in 4 days out and it was all worth it to me!! I feel that this was the best decision I have ever made because I have lost 25 lbs and this morning when I weighed myself I saw I had lost another two pounds and my arms just shot in the air!! Kinda cheesy but that's truly what happened.. Nobody understands the struggle we go through everyday unless they walk in our shoes!! If u Ever need anything pls don't hesitate to ask!! I will try and help as much as I can! I hope that helped!! Just remember before you go back to OP they give you something!!!
