I thought i had hurt myself getting into bed yesterday. That numb spot on my stomach by the large incision felt like it balled into a fist. I really thought the worst, broke out in a sweat. Apparently it moved something because i had my first poop 8 hrs later, lol.

I just had him do my surgery at Saint Barnabas, on the 14th. His office staff are horrible, he is very good though. Make copies of all the paperwork you fax to his staff, they lost 3 of the same documents on me. His surgical team is very kind and i was freaking out, they talked to me very calmly and told me i was going to be okay. I had a panic attack because it was my first surgery, and they completely understood.

Four days post op for me. It's taken me this long to fart, and the pain isn't as bad. The left side is where the biggest incision is so that's going to hurt more. Standing straight is hard, i'm starting to feel it more across my abdomen.

That's weird because i asked my baratric leader person in the hospital and she said it was okay, lol. Docs really need to get together and set standards.

I was sleeved on the 14th and i passed gas for the first time today. I'm not sure if the Gas X helped but i'm using it. I also sleep on about 5 pillows, propped up. I wake up every few hours but i don't want to hurt myself. I've had to use a cane to get out of bed and use the toilet.(had it from a previous injury) I'm getting better and pushing through the pain. I can basically get out of bed without the cane now. Just give it time. Take your meds, take gas x like crazy, walk as much as you can tolerate. Get enough fluids. Every day is a new step. I was terrified of all this. I still am kind of scared with the pain, but it really has gotten better with time, and it hasn't been that long.

I planned to get this. (Uncensored of course, lol) But now...eh..i still want to get it, even if i end up not as fat, lol.

I just filled this script out. I'm 4 days out. 300ml Maalox 100ml 2% viscous lidocaine 100ml Donnatal All mixed together, i take 50ml every 8 hours. It's numbed my lips and throat and my throat feels full. I'm kind of afraid to drink anything now because i can't really tell if i'm full. It's def a weird feeling. (I don't know if that spelling is correct, docs handwriting is...well, you know.)

I had the hiatel hernia, it was very mild though. I had an acidy taste in the back of my throat when i didn't eat for hours. No heart burn. I'm just wondering about all these meds.

One of my incisions is irritated. Anyone have advice? Ice? Heat?

Haha, i always have wipes, even in my purse.

Thanks everyone. I'm just overwhelmed with new bodily sensations and afraid of every little pain. It's my first surgery, lol.

I get pain meds once every 6-8 hrs.

The baratric leader at the hospital my surgery was at told me that they basically are all the same. Medical compressions are very expensive, she even mentioned spanx. I'm just going to try spanx when i heal up. Good luck!

My surgery is in 7 days, i want to make all this food and put it in my freezer for later! lol

It's a burning. Not from the site by right by it. (Which is numb to the touch) They told me it will go away more when i walk, and to just keep talking.

5am, just got out of the shower for round 2 at the hospital. I am not looking forward to this. They did, however, call me last night and told me i am at the top of the list.

I had an allergic reaction to plasma. Broke out in hives. No surgery until tomorrow. My blood isn't clotting as well as it should. Which is why the plasma. I took no aspirin so they've narrowed it down to not enough vitamin k, which is in veggies, which I can't have on the liquid diet. I had a panic attack while getting hives. I also was used as a damn pin cushion for 15 minutes until the specialist got there and nailed the blood draw in 1 shot. I cried, they really dug around in my hand. I just got home, then up at 5 am to be back at the hospital by 7. This is my first hospital stay ever. And it was horrible. I'm afraid to go back in the morning. I've never had plasma before, and this happens on the first try. It's like Karma is trying to kick my ass.

Thank you everyone.

It's surgery day and i must of gotten 3 hours sleep, awesome. I also learned i cannot make a post with my phone, boo.

Thanks. I was looking for a wrap/girdle for after surgery. Have you tried any other products by them? I need some arm and thigh wraps too, lol.

Getting sleeved tomorrow.(Aug 12th) Warren County

Mine is tomorrow too! Good luck surgery buddy, lol.

My surgeon told me to get girdles to combat sagging skin. Arm, stomach, thigh.
