Personal questionfor the ladies



Recommended Posts

I hope this isn't too personal. My surgery is scheduled for 9/20 and I just realized I will/should be on day 2 of my period on 9/20. Question, do you think my surgery will be postponed because of this?

Nope. It doesn't matter to your surgeon. Probably make you wear a pad instead of a tampon, though, but that's okay because after surgery getting a tampon in and out would hurt (the bending over, you know).

I was really worried about this as well. I *know* that it won't matter, but I am super modest and it was horrifying to me to think that I would have it at the same time as my surgery... but luckily I got it early :) My surgery is in a week (exactly!) so I know I'm good!

      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! 😞
