letting my dog in bed with me.



Recommended Posts

I think my dog was just looking for a warm spot!!

I told my husband I'm about to just give in and buy her some stairs to get in easier ( she's a chihuahua) 0_o

I guess I get your doctors point.. Like I said I hadn't thought about it that way but my dog didn't lay on my tummy she burrows down by my legs.

I have a chihuahua too and funny she goes under the blankets and down to my feet too! Also have a Puggle and an American Bulldog!

My 70lb sweetheart slept with me when I was home recovering. No infection to report. I say do as you wish.

I adore shepherds. I had one when I was very young. I couldn't have her inside due to allergies. I have to stick to the hypo-allergenic breeds now because I firmly believe dogs belong inside. I'm doing fine - my incisions are starting to itch a bit but I think that's normal.

I have a full size labradoodle who spent every moment possible in bed with me! He lays right up next to me - just another kid as far as I am concerned! He did happen to be groomed 3 days before my surgery and he does not shed. I just can't see the infection worry unless you were uncovering your incisions and purposefully expose them to unsanitary conditions.

Both my dogs slept with me. One even sleeps under the covers right next to me.

Yeah - I find it silly now too. They just made a statement in the preop class about it and asked who had pets sleeping with them. When I said me, they advised to send him to a friend's for three weeks. Totally not hoing to happen. He'd have a cow. He'd find his way home by escaping and making the trek. So I just wanted to be sure nothing was so horrible about it.

I love them, too! She is seriously the best dog either my boyfriend or I have ever had. I totally understand allergies! We have a cat that lives in the kiddos room because of my allergies! Sucks! My mom has a little guy that looks so much like yours! My shepherd totally thinks he is the boss :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
