12 days post op
arringtonc49 replied to arringtonc49's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok Good! My trash can was blowing all over the place outside because it was real windy. I had to go get it from somebody else's property. It felt real light. It is plastic and was empty. I believe it weighed About 5 lbs. I just want to be sure everything should be OK. -
Oh ok. I did 2 days liquid pre op

Discouraging news... can someone help me with understanding this?
arringtonc49 replied to genesissxs's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
All I know is my primary DR. Had to write a letter recommending this surgery would be good for me based on my medical problems. He knew I tried many attempts to lose Weight but failed. This letter was also given to surgeon. I had also joined a gym. I did everything and still had to get approval before surgery. They still had to review. everything. They required I do 7 month program. -
After surgery I went 3-4 times a day. Now I am on puree and noticed it slowed down. I go 1-2 times a day now.

Congratulations

4days Post op Feeling like why did I do this to myself
arringtonc49 replied to ayanna_vsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I gained 7 lbs when return home after surgery. It is from all the fluid they pump in you to keep you hydrated. But I lost the 7lbs plus 4 lbs in 7 days. Make sure you get 64 fl Oz of liquid in or close to it everyday. If lightheadedness continues than call your DR. -
4 MORE HOURS UNTIL CHECK IN!!!!

You will do fine. A new journey [emoji3]! -
Lesson learned! I told a lot of people thinking they would be happy for me because of my health. BUT instead I got a lot of negative response. I heard jealousy and envy from some people. BUT that's ok because this is my life and I know what is best for me. These people have health issues themselves. I can't worry about what people think.

I might be crazy. I went skiing 2.5 weeks post op.
arringtonc49 replied to skierChic's topic in The Guys’ Room
I can understand feeling good after surgery because I felt really great!!! BUT there are some limitations to what you can do do you can heal on the inside. You should have consulted with your DR. Before going skiing. I would have been afraid of falling and shaking my body up which could cause harm. Maybe you should have scheduled your surgery after skiing. -

I don't like the way I feel
arringtonc49 replied to elbee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Could be from anesthesia. I had many surgeries and anesthesia made me nauseated for several days. Before I went in for surgery I told the anesthesiologist to give me something for nausea. He did. I had no vomiting or nausea at all and I am 9 days post op. -
