My Dr. Told me to take tums.

My pinky finger and ring finger on my right hand are both numb. They said if I don't get feeling back in a week or two they are sending me to neurologist. Ugh!!!

Has anyone experienced numbness in their fingers due to the IV during surgery?

Make sure you use your spirometer. It definitely helps with the chest pain.

I'm right there with the weight loss, I definitely expected to lose a Lil more than I am. Although my surgery was great, only a Lil pressure. Good luck

Just when I thought I was failing, I had my 1st nsv. Today was the first time I drove since surgery and when I got into the car I had to move my seat up. ☺

I'm having a really hard time with my vitamins. I have Flintstones chewables with iron ( gross), I bought b complex Iiquid, gross, and haven't had the tums yet but last time I had one I gagged. Help? Any suggestions?

I know I was not allowed to be on any medication 10 days prior to surgery.

I lost 19.2lbs during the two week pre op

I had my first post op Dr visit today as well. Healing well, can start vitamins, and have lost 25lbs since pre op diet. Hopefully it will be more at my next 3 week visit. Good luck to everyone!

how many days are you post op? I would love some beans and cheese

That is my biggest fear.....losing my boobs!!!!

So not actual powder, all pre made shakes?

What are you using for protein?

I'm 1 week post op and have not been hungry at all. But you could try more protein and water.I'm also a week out. Are you able to get in 60g of protein? I'm not able to no but I'm trying

I got my period the day of surgery and I was fine. They still did the surgery and everything went well. No worries.

Good luck, you will do fine. I just had mine on 4/20 and it was a lot better than I imagined.

I know I'm only 5 days post op but I thought I would have lost at least a lb or 2. Is this normal? I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing. Feeling questionable.

OK, I'm on my 5th day post op and feel pretty good. I was wondering how soon will you see any weight loss on the scale?

same here, I had a drain I'n the hospital and when they took it out, omg, thought I was gonna die.

I think we all ho through that, try having someone take a pic of u from ur neck down, then see if u feel that way.

I'm officially sleeved. I was sleeved on 4/20 and should be released today. A Lil rough at first but definitely getting better. Just make sure you walk and drink your water, very important. Good luck to everyone else
