I packed underwear, pajamas, iPad, phone, charger, pillow, and teddy bear Did not need pj's as I was more comfortable in the hospital gown, but definitely glad I had it. Took toiletries but just used wet wipes. Pillows always seem to be a problem in hospitals so I'm glad I had mine. My room was super cold I wish I had brought my warm, comfy blanket. Not just for warmth but comfort and security as well.

I have 18-20. Email me. Aquarius802000@yahoo.com

I feel like the procedure didn't work :-(

Fear I'm not losing any weight. I am one month out, I've lost 13 lbs :-( I'm stuck on this weight for 3 weeks

This is Akira Sadie Leigh

Try lying on your left side

I'm taking milk of magnesia to stay regular until I start taking a "normal" diet

I gained 10 lbs after the surgery. A week post op I was back to pre surgery weight. I'm now (2weeks post op) down another 10

I just got mine today. Will send you a review if you are looking for something specific

I find lying on my left side helps or just pressure on the left side. I'm back at work already so when the pain gets bad I just close my door and lay on my chair with a pillow against my side and that provides some relief

I've walked a lot. Even the hospital staff commented on how much I was doing. I'll talk to my surgeon and see heat he says

I'll this pain eve go away? My nurse keeps saying its normal it's normal... Ok I get it's normal but will it last forever? 2 weeks ? 2 months?

Did you specifically ask for Meds?

Mine was too. Here I am 2 weeks later and most of the sensation is back

One of the nurses said the water makes the nausea worse. Maybe wait till you get the melds before pushing yourself

Feel better soon

M spending too much time checking the scale; every 5 minutes (ok not literally but at least 2 a day).

I also have the celebrate chewable calcium PLUS 500 (cherry tart) for sale if anyone is interested. I have a bottle of apprx 80 left ( yes I've already opened it and used some) but I'd really like to switch to the gummies instead. Paid $42.00. Willing to let it go for $30 or your best offer.

I just packed away at least 10 pairs of pants where do you live? (Combination of casual, dressy, and jeans)

Called my nurse Practioner and she has yet to call me back. All communication has to go through her before it goes to the surgeon

I'm ridiculously tired too. I went back to work today. In addition to the exhaustion I feel, the sharp stabbing pain on my left side caused me to leave early. My incision sites as well as abdomen have begun hurting. I called my nurse Practioner to ask for advice but she never called me back. My surgery was on the 21st. Right now all I feel is tired, gas pains and I feel like I look sick :-( it may be from my lack of protein. Trying really hard to get as much in as I can.

The more I move/walk etc the worse the pain gets.

I'd say ask your surgeon about their recommendation

Anyone else get the medic alert bracelet or plan to get one?

Thanks for the support everyone. Called my nurse practitioner and she had something called into my local chemist (pharmacy). I used it last night. God-send.
