  1. Wow. I am so sorry for everything she has gone through. She sounds like she needs to stay in the hospital for awhile for monitoring & for further testing! She is suffering! How's she doing? Hope she's feeling better!
  2. What is the surgeon saying!? This is terrible
  3. Wow, why did you guys have so many incisions? I have only one & it is in my belly button-can't see it except for a bit of surgical glue that hasn't fallen off yet.
  4. The absorption of BC is affected. IUD is best---I have Mirena IUD and haven't had a period in a year!
  5. I had terrible nausea in the hospital for 2 days. Was rotating Reglan & Zofran round the clock through the IV. I also had terrible pain & was getting Diludad & Tylenol frequently. I think that it is not explained how hard the post-op period can be. I had no idea that it could be so awful. I am feeling better now. Best wishes to your daughter. She will feel better soon, I'm sure.

  8. OMG thank you so much. wish I would have been able to relax on constipation a little bit! Yesterday got nervous & took Milk of Mag. I definitely was able to go, let's just say that. Things are calmer now though Have lost 14lbs of weight already!
  9. @@Butterfly85 Had surgery on 3/31. It was rough! So much pain & nausea! Ouch. But now am feeling good with minimal pain & no nausea. Eating Protein shakes now & focusing on getting the right amount of liquid in a day. My only problem is that I haven't had a bowel movement yet!

  22. 1. What was it like waking up? Did you feel pain or nausea right away, or feel confused? 2. Did you go right to your room or were you in a post operative room at first? 3. Did you have a pain pump or how did you take pain medication or anti-nausea meds? 4.How long until you took your home meds? Did you crush them or take them whole?

Did you have a pain pump or how did you take pain medication or anti-nausea meds? 5.How long until you took your home meds? Did you crush them or take them whole? XOXO THANKS!
  24. Hi, I'm scheduled for sleeve on Tuesday @ Lenox Hill. I'm super excited but just wondering what to expect! What was it like waking up there? Did you go right to your room or were you in a post operative room at first? Did you have a private or shared room? What was that like & did you have anyone staying with you? Wondering where my husband can sleep if he wants to stay! Did you get a pain pump or how were pain meds administered? THANKS!
