Ok...so I stepped on the scale this morning and I lost another 3lbs!

That makes 21 since surgery on July 15th~!

Obviously my first thought was...."awwww, I only lost 3lbs! but seriously, that's 21 in 21 days!

Also this was my TOM week, and the week I started adding more calories and food types....so yay! I am on track and losing!

Yay!:mad0:

Hi I had surgery with Dr. C. on July 12. I too have had no response from the nutritionsist I sent e-mails. The hospital experience was excellent, but you are right, absolutely no follow-up care whatsoever!!! I was experiencing the same problem with incision by navel. I am at 5 wks. and was concerned about the incision not healing. I went to my family Dr. He said the inner incisions (the fishing-line sort of threads) were trying to come to the surface and were preventing the healing of incision. He suggested over the counter steri-strips. Use neosporin ointment and cover with a bandage. Remove bandage before showering, wash and massage the incision gently with antibacterial soap. (be sure not to remove the steri-strips)

He said the scar might not be "pretty" since it had popped open, but it would heal with proper care. Hope this helps.

Terri,

What was your BMI at surgery? Did you have to go on a diet before surgery?

What made you decide Dr Rod? I am going to be getting the Plication surgery and I have a lot of questions if you dont mind me asking.

I would love to hear how everyone is doing and how much weight they have lost.

I'm really excited to loose my fat!!!

Thanks, Lisa
