I'm 5 weeks out and using the silicone sheets. Based on my reasearch the best thing for scar healing is protecting them from drying out so the sheets work very well. I looked up mederma vs silicone sheets and the sheets came out the winner. Guess we will see in a few months!

Took me about 2 weeks before I saw the swelling go down.

Can someone tell me how to add friends on mfp? I could only find where you add facebook and phobe contact friends. Thanks!

Please look up the side effects for long term use of reglan

5 days for me. Desk job so not much exertion. I think it helped me take mind off the whole thing and get back to normal.

It is really nice to see how everyone else is doing! !!

18 pounds lost since surgery (I need to get serious about walking). Eating mostly my shakes along with greek yogurt, egg whites, cottage cheese. What about you?

2nd week I would randomly just start crying and had no clue why. ..so you are not alone. I'm over it now though.

So I really really did not want any gas pain after surgery so I went and bought a lot of gas x strips. They really do help but now I have 4 extra boxes I do not need lol. I do not mind sharing so two people can have two boxes each if you guys want. They are still closed. If your in tucson we can meet or i do not mind sending them. Hope this helps out someone!

I was sleeved on 9/25. I bought some soup that I love. Before being sleeved I would EASILY eat the whole container. First time eating it post sleeve ...4th bite was a bit uncomfortable and I stopped. The sleeve rocks!!!! So excited to continue this journey.

For me it was day 4. Which is hard since I'm a side sleeper.

I would highly suggest you record the lectures in nursing school and play them using headphones while you walk.
