Tmi question...

[srpiccollo 19]

Ok I hate to ask this but I can't be the only one who is having problems. I was sleeved Thursday and at home now. My issue is when I go number two how the heck do I reach to wipe? My incisions kill every time I even get close to bending in the correct direction. Thank goodness I am not really going 2 yet. I seem to be peeing every 10 minutes too. Anyone else having these issues?

Also I want to take a real shower. How the heck do u do that? I have been using the wash wipes instead of a full shower but want to wash my hair but am scared about the Water hurting the Incisions and hurting.

I Couldn't Tell You Qbout Number 2 Because I've Yet To Get There Lol I Was Sleeved On The 26th Of Feb. Only Thing That's Coming Out Is Gas. As Far As A Shower I Took I Full One For the First Time Today My Doc Said it Was Ok Just Don't Peal The Tape That Over You Incisions. Hope That Helps Peace And Love

Tomorrow you will feel a lot better. I had mine on Wednesday and I've been out shopping today...much better than yesterday! I was able to shower with no help this morning too. Don't worry about your incisions, they'll be fine! Just don't scrub them...be gentle and they'll be fine! I know what you mean about reaching to wipe and no worries I had the same fear but tomorrow will make a world of difference. Just make sure you're doing things without overdoing it to loosen up those sore muscles!

Honey I had my sx on Thurdsy and every time I squat to pee I feel like I'm being stabbed. This is the worst of it all. Does anyone else have trouble bending and squatting? As far as wiping I am propping the left side and going from there no shower for me just wipes. I hope it gets better for us soon. ????

I was Sleeved on the 25th.... I took a shower the 26th am and have taken 2 showers a day since! It feels very good and will make you feel better as well. Just do your normal thing and let the warm Water run over you tape and you will be fine.

You can shower!!! I had my surgery on the 27th and doc asked me on the 28th if I had showered yet...I replied NOOOO he said well you can if you want just pat dry the incision area and keep the tape on til it falls off by itself!!! I have no problem bending or squatting and I have not gone #2 since day before surgery so cant answer that one for ya yet!!!good luck

I have glue and I am day 12 and its just now starting to peel off. I've only been a little sore for about 2 days then no discomfort at all. This is by far the eaisest surgery ever

I showered in the hospital.

I went number 2 twice already. I was sleeved on the 26th so I'm only four days out. I've had a very difficult time wiping but I do the best I can. Number one no problem.... Number two is tricky. Just let the shower run down your backside or get a large towel and trying wiping by pulling the towel through the area. So far, this sucks!

Well I took the shower. I wish I did it earlier. Not inky did it make me feel so much better but it relaxed me. I have not been sleeping too much and this will do the trick I'm sure.

I was worried about being constipated but sounds like most of us just don't go for a while. Maybe by then I will be able to bend/squat with no pain.

This surgery has been easy I only used the pain pump in the hospital a few times while taking walks. Now that I'm home never has to even touch anything.

So far I am only eating 4 small meals a day but got in my Water and Protein goals. All food looks good but I am not touching anything I am not supposed to. My hubby was eating hamburger and it smelled so good. Does the craving thing usually go away?

It will get better each day. The first day or two was hard because if the stomach pains but every day it got better.

I used some baby wipes to make sure everything is good.
