I had a follow-up appointment after 8 days post-op. I selected my surgeon because he is supposed to be a leader in bariatric surgery in my area. I drove an hour for this particular surgeon and others do as well. Since my hospital stay, I feel that my surgeon has been dismissive evening when I was scared from the vomiting of blood. Well today, the staples were removed. My large incision bled and had to be packed. The nurse handed my mother a bunch of supplies and said we need to "pack it" everyday. What kind of policy is that?? I realize the dr. may do these procedures all the time but I don't get surgery often and find this scary.

I am 7 days post-op and must admit I'm a little frightened of moving to the soft/blended stage. Good Luck to you
