Thank you all! Were you able to wear normal clothes right after? I'm nervous about pants hurting the scabs Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone have the Prothrombin gene mutation? Anyone have any complications with blood clots? I had a PE a year and a half ago and was on blood thinner. I haven't been on thinners for a bit now and the hematologist said I'd be a good candidate for the sleeve. Has anyone had blood clots after the surgery?

Hi all! This is my first post here. I have been researching a lot and am ready to start going to my doctor to get the ball rolling. I have PCOS and an looking to conceive (I know, 18 months after). I am really freaking out about the recovery. I am mostly concerned about having staples, or having open incisions. How fast did they heal enough not to have pants hurt or if you turn at your waist? I am a baby with pain! I am looking to only take a week off work. I have a desk job that requires no moving really. I will have my husband drive me to work as well. I am just concerned about the incisions/scabs getting caught, ripped, tugged. Any advice?? Thanks!
