Give updates when you feel up to it. Hope it goes smoothly.

Congratulations to everyone on your upcoming surgery! Best life choice I've ever made.

Sorry about that..didn't mean to send the first post.

Every Dr is different .I was told to take 2 Flintstones chewables everyday and 1000 mg of biotin to help minimize hair loss later .I was not given antibiotics. For me the incision sites were easily managed with a large icepack and a heat pad for shoulder pain. I tell everyone now to take your pain meds. Its easier to stay out of pain that to get out of it. Some meds I have to grind up. The worst for me was day 3 . I'm not quite 2 weeks post op and i feel really good. Congratulations to everyone coming up on your surgery dates. God bless.

Congratulations on your surgery! Praying for a speedy recover. If you don't have a heat pad and an ice pack get them! Send someone for them after you get home. Take your meds, no shame in that! Eat lots of popsycles will help with the swelling. I'm not quite 2 weeks post op. My a week I felt great. The worst was the gas pain. Its all worth it!

Great idea! Never heard this. I need one that says I have a defibbrilator also.

I think one of my biggest problems so far is drinking slow. Especially with it being so hot here!

Lol@@Colleen! I do that too!

So glad that your feeling better!

Yeah..check yours.

You aren't getting enough nutrition hun. I agree with everyone else. See a doc! God bless you!

Been trying to message you Colleen but having problems with the site I guess .idk anyway hope y'all are both doing great!

So glad your feeling better. I actually got out today and took advantage of some sales. Its amazing how different I feel every day. Soon it'll all be a memory! God bless and Happy 4th!

Hey sweetie..my gas is still bad also..haven't passes much and until yesterday it was hard to breathe! I alternate between heat and an ice pack. My shoulder pain is the worst of it .take your pain meds! Absolutely no shame in that! Praying you feel better soon. Oh and for me the gas x made it where I couldn't pass gas but that was my experience .

I won't lie..day 3 was the worst. But by a week later you will be surprised how well you feel! I hope y'all are doing OK!

Congrats...I had some pain. Mostly in my left shoulder. My surgery was the 26th and honestly I feel pretty darn good today. It will be worth it!!

Colleen, when did you have your surgery..I wasn't hungry into yesterday..I'm starving! What are you eating?

Colleen honey I'm with you now. Hungry! Lol but we can do this!!!!!!!

Congratulations!! That's awesome

Your doing much better on your weight loss than me.

Wow..mine was on the 26th.

When was your surgery? Wow

They were so good! Of course I only ate a few spoonfuls.lol I'm down 10 lbs this week. Of course anybody could do that on broth and Gatorade!

Lol..so true..I had some grits tonight.
