Who wants to see my stomach?

The drain didn't hurt me, though it didn't feel pleasant coming out.

You got it. Just didnt wanna gross anyone out.

Gotta say' date=' it's one of the best pics of it I've seen. I looked for shots like this when I was PRE op and didn't find anything.

Is it teeny tiny? I can try to make it bigger somehow. I'm on my phone and sometimes it posts itty bitty.[/quote']

I can see it. Thats cool. I want a pic of mine. Im getti.g aleeved next week. Seems kinda big but idk how big they should be? My good friend did hers a year ago and her doc told her hers was big to. Now shes A Hot mamma

Most drains only remain in a couple days and I didn't even know I had one until I checked out my tummy. Never bothered me and it only felt weird coming out but not painful. They just sterilize the area pull it out and sterilize the area again and close it. Piece of cake

They didn't close my drain hole, they said it would close on it's own. No steristrips or anything on it. I put a bandaid on it for a few days because I didn't want to get blood on my clothes, it took about 5 days for the hole to completely close on it's own. It's my smallest scar now, it's not nearly as raised as the others.

I went to my pre op visit on Tuesday and my surgeon said that they don't test the portion of the stomach that they remove so my picture should look different.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
