Surgery was on Wednesday

Foley and IV came out on Friday and JP came out on Saturday (would of come out on Friday, but a cardiologist wanted me to stay one extra night~grrrrrrrrr)

The nurse told me some patients say it sort of burns coming out. All I felt was almost like a tickle in my left shoulder (JP drain was on my right)?? Hubby couldn't believe how looooooooooong it was. Did not hurt a bit.

The nurse told me after she took the Foley out that I may have burning the first time I peed...NOPE. She said we give you 8 hours to go, but I was in there peeing like a race horse in about an hour.

Hello Pom Mom;

No tubes, no drains, no pain pump, no catheter, IV only during surgery & PostOp recovery. Hit surgeons goal in less than 5 months, hope to hit my goal (10 lbs less) by end of this month. PS - I was an outpatient too. Love my sleeve & surgeon.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
