I had an abdominal binder from my surgeon right after surgery.

RN here. I told a few people at work about my surgery. I was going to keep it quiet, but I felt like a fraud when people asked what I was doing. Lol. Quite a few others nurses had the surgery and everyone was supportive and congratulatory about making a life style change.

Bellyaches are probably gas. Took me a few weeks to get gas under control. You will have a lot of aching, you just underwent a big time surgery. Think about how deep they went into your belly. Is cream of wheat on your list of ok foods this early out? Try avoiding lactose, it kills my belly. Good luck.

I'm 4 wks out and I finally installed the garbage disposal I bought for my mom in Mothers Day. Soo, I think now ????

I think you were misinformed or even not informed enough prior to surgery IMO.

I'm 4 wks out today, discussed this my NUT today and she said worry more about grams of sugar than carbs.

Anyone take meds for insomnia or anxiety and they just don't work anymore? I cannot sleep!!!

Anyone else get back tongue from pepto bismal ?

How are you doing today?

How are things today?

I have issues from the artificial sweeteners. Gross taste in my mouth all the time!!!

That's what doctors get the big money for....inconvenience. I would see him ftf asap or ER. I had issues with one of my incisions, always felt like it was ripping inside or something. I'm 3wks out and that spot still isn't closed (my fault for scab picking), but I use an abdominal binder to support my belly and that ripping feeling and it does wonders.

That's the first thing I complained about at my 1 week follow up. I'm 3 wks now and it doesn't happen anymore

When u eat and you have a lot of mucos in your throat. Almost foamy like. Just can't swallow it, it just hangs out in your throat.
