If your talking about gas. Could last a few days. Walk as much as possible, lay on left side when you can tolerate it, helps to expel gas from your body. Use a heating pad to help with relief

Failing.....you had surgery a MAJOR surgery a few days ago. Most ppl dont have super easy recovery. Days 3 thru 6 can be the worst due to swelling and soreness. Walk, sip and lay on your left side with heating pad to expel some gas. Use gas X. You doing fine. You cant fail at surgery recovery.

I have tricare prime. There is a FB group called weight loss surgery with tricare. Spelled exactly like that. You can ask questions there and Katie will answer. She is a advocate

mckenzie.... We all freak a little. I try not to think about what they will be doing during surgery. I have faith in my surgeon. And I know he will help me and take care of me no matter what happens later. Most do not have problems. If i made it through a open hysterectomy which i had cut opened then this is doable for sure. We are all in this together.

I feel the same way but still seems far out. I do need to get a few protein powders for the 1st week. I am July 24

Oh crap... I have comorbidities so i had to stay above 35 BMI. Clocked in finally at 36.1 Did they tell you that you were to low?

My nutritionist did this. Eat or wear something heavy so it's not a issue.

Yes, I think most of us second guess. I have had those thoughts many times. I just know that this is my chance and to use this tool to make my life better. My surgery is not until July 24th

Alot of ppl never do. But I know some that do. But its less. She is at goal weight. She has a drink now and again.

Ppl that are farther out enjoy these. I have made a few friends who still enjoy grilling out and eat. It is a much smaller portion and a healthy side dish.

Congratulations, the count down is on!!!

Mdarnell, Start that diet back. Drink alot of water to flush out the bad things you ate. I need to get back to lots of water myself. I have to watch what I am eating not to gain weight before surgery. I have NO pre op diet to follow. Its not required

I turned 50 in March. We can still do this. I am going for Tummy tuck after. I love the beach and plan on spending time there when this is over. My surgery can't come soon enough!!!

I will be having mine in Vancouver as well, covered by our provincial healthcare it’s been a long wait, 3 years......but now it’s just around the corner........ Wow 3 years . Thats a bit of wait for sure. Oh how I wish I had more patience. I will be tapping my foot until my surgery date July 24 and started the process in Feb.

You can change surgeons but make sure you dont have to redo your program or all the things you have completed. I got lucky with my surgeon. I am a military spouse and having this done on a military base. I had no choice in surgeon. He is just a great man. He is big on hugs too. Take care of you.

Yay same day. Good luck. I am having mine in Georgia. You?

Hello, yall Found out today I am also a July sleever. Scheduled for July 24th. My surgeons only concern was my anxiety. Understanding I am on a military base and they can see all your records and meds going back years. So he wrote me a script to take daily. And I will do so. I love love my surgeon. He gives out his cell number and actually answers. Hahaha. I am beyond excited. The count down is on. And no preop diet. Looking for a surgery buddy!!!!

My nutritionist recommends bean broth. Its broth so its not a problem. See how well its sits with your stomach.

Your full of water. Someone ask this every week. Every surgery or hospital stay with a IV will show fluid retention in most of us especially the ladies. 5 days.. 5 days... relax aittle about immediate weightloss

Its the milk or magnesia still working. Seriously it should stop. Maybe switch to miralax once daily. Have you gone to the restrooms alot with diarrhea or just once or twice. I wouldn't be to concerned since you took a laxative.

I will find out my surgery date next week. It will be end of July or early August. 1st Pre op appt next Thursday with Dr Blair in Fort Stewart, Georgia. Excited to find out.

I am glad your doing better with you in take of fluids and pain. I heard day 3 can be rough and actually 3 to 6 can be hard. Hopefully you turned the corner.

Wow, you look just marvelous. Congrats. You a great inspiration.

Did you call the dr? You need to GO to the ER if there's not another option.
