  1. My doc has his patients on it for 3 weeks. My belly looks like a war zone. But hey if it helps prevents clots, I'm all about it!
  2. I went to the bathroom (#2) today! Well kinda. Let's just say anything counts! I feel sooooo much better. . Yes the warmer weather will be right around the corner. Usually I dread spring and summer because I can't layer up my clothes and try to hide my heaviness. I'm hoping this year ill loose a little and be comfortable in a short sleeve! I used to always lie and say I were cold lol
  3. Oh wow one incision. Aww I hope it heals soon for you. Yeah I've been using something like that cloth band thy give you out of surgery. I'm so afraid of messing something up. I'm scared whenever I try to shower. Plus I'm super squeamish (sp?)
  4. What's the usual time frame that the incisions heal? Thx in advance
  5. Me too! I'm always hot (the extra padding) I have 4. Shirts 2 pair socks pants big blanket and a heating pad!!
  6. I can't stomach any of the injury priducts
  7. I'm a vegetarian as well. Been veggie for 18 yrs. I was just sleeved last week so I really can't advise you with how long you would need to take off. I an tell you I started at 225 and accent weighed myself. I'm still pretty swollen in my belly but I feel really good today. Exactly one week post op. I'm a hairstylist and am scheduled to start taking clients next week. If I were in your profession I might take an extra week or two off just in case. Good luck with everything.
  8. I'm one week also! Feeling the best yet but still so BM. I get a ton of water in and have been walking. Still nothing . Yes laughing does hurt! Sneezing is the worst for me. I haven't got on the scale yet. I still feel swollen in my belly and I don't want to be disappointed if I still have weight from the surgery on . I'm glad we are doing pretty well!
  9. I'm a week post op too. No BM! I took colace the past two days and still nada
  10. I did. I'm the biggest baby ever. It didn't bother me at all. Except I could feel it when I walked. It didn't hurt though.
  11. Awesome! Good luck to you. Keep us posted.
  12. Thx for the advice. I was just sleeved and one day would love to have a baby! Great info
  13. I'm so gullible!
