Yes.i broke my rib in Feb 2016. Its my left 9th rib. And since surgery it has killed me. Like being broke again. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Its hard to hear from other people, and in the end it is totally your choice. I used to get so upset but after having the surgery last week and having some issues i get why they are worried. It has been a very eye opening event in my life and My loved ones have been pretty stressed as well. My poor husband has had to deal with so much. So I now understand. Even if they are not good at saying it deep down it is just concern. Hugs Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I too had a choice and wanted the RNY because of fear I would need all the help I could get. My surgeon really wanted me to do sleeve since I had no immediate issues such as diabetes. After research i felt sleeve was safer, and since they remove the stomach they get rid of hunger hormones. I am now 6 days out and I have no hunger. I also can't imagine having more things to worry about such as malnourishment ect. I mean this is major surgery. I ended up having extreme vertigo from reaction to anesthesia. For me there was so many things that could go wrong with RNY and I was very worried about looking older and having saggy skin. Some people have so many other health concerns the faster weightloss with RNY is better but i felt a slow steady weight loss was healthier for my body and skin. Everyone is different but for me there was so much that could go wrong, safer is always better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am very impressed with those walking. It has been five days and i can barely move. I am just now able to walk around house. I guess i am disappointed in myself for being so weak Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am on all gummies. I was never told any different. Wonder if it makes a difference in absorption. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had my surgery the 24th. This is the first day I have felt ok to walk around and do things. I was really worried I was so weak and dizzy. But I started my Protein drink before I even got out of bed and it really helped. I had a hernia repair which I did nit realize was such a healing process for that. Some people have major eating issues even without the sleeve so that made me feel better about everything. Anyone else with a hernia repair take a bit longer to recover?

Yes abdominal binder they called it a wrap in hospital Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I hate calling his office the receptionist are very rude and take forever to call back. This is a question forum. The wrap is the thing they put around your waist to keep everything tight Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Happy for you. Im 4 days post op and still have a lot of pressure from hernia repair. Also have a lot of blurred vision and vertigo. Hope you avoid all those things and have a mild time of it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

When do i stop wearing this wrap? It is very hard on my incisions. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I love my doctors but his receptionists are rude and short so I hate calling them. They never have the answers to even the smallest questions. Such as how long do I wear this wrap thingy. They always act annoyed and have to call me back later. So that is why I ask a lot of questions here. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The first few days are tough for sure. The gas pressure in the chest. I dont have high blood pressure or anything but may be hypoglycemic. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Feeling pretty horrible today. Im getting down my first premier shake but super weak and still have vertigo. When I stand up I stumble. I have not had narcotics but one time. I drank like 50 ounces yesterday. My sleeve is pretty tight. Im taking Vitamins. Thought I would be better by now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The gas pains are the worse part for me as far as pain goes. But i took the gas x strips and it did help, even if it was the placebo effect it worked for me. Hope you feel better Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
