PD

No trouble swallowing...just a sore throat from the breathing tube. I was nervous that I would be a little tight and it would be hard to swallow, but was fine. You will feel a little restricted to begin with, but it will soon loosen up (unless your a lucky one). You will do AWESOME!!!!

Let me know if you need anything...I am just up the highway in Brighton.

Love your name by the way! Do you have your surgery scheduled yet? I am local so it may be a possibility that I could stay with you.

The soap is called Hepacleanse (I'm not sure how to spell it) But you can buy it at Walgreens. I got the huge bottle and then I was given one by someone, so I have an extra if you live in town.

Also Dr. K places the port slightly to the left, of mid-point, just under the bra.

It would be nice if he could go further down just 1/2 inch so the bra doesn't rub on it all day :smile2:

That is soooo funny because my friend Jen has a daughter who has a classmate named Shawn who drives her CRAZY. And these are 9 year olds! Her daughters theory is that everyone named Shawn is crazy because being an observative 9 year old she has observed that my Shawn is crazy also.:smile2: Kids are so funny.

ha,ha! I think she is on to something :bored:

BTW Tally, I forgot to reply that no, she is not an actual nurse, otherwise this would be an even far more serious situation. She could actually be reported to the board of nursing for an ethics violation if she were, and be formally disciplined for it.

That's what I was thinking. She still should be reported.

Does your bra rub on it? Mine is about 2 inches below the bra. So I have no problem. How about anyone else?

Awe...thank you so much! Thats so nice of you. I am in Westminster so I will make a trip to the local Walgreens.:smile2:

One more question, did any of you have trouble swallowing after surgery?

NO problem swallowing. I had a fat lip from the intubation that was kind of bothersome, but that was it. I didn't have a sore throat, but I took sucrets with me, just in case.

Mine's probably three inches below my bra. I haven't had any trouble with that at all.

I didn't have any problem either. In fact, I went out to dinner the next day with this really wonderful lady I met in Denver. I think her name was . . . .dee???? Yes, I think that's right:smile:

Yes, mine rubs on it terribly. It gets very sore. Maybe I just need to get the girls lifted up to my chin, lol.

I agree 100%. I hope she doesn't start saying stuff about you. I will have to come and kick her ass!! Luckily, my husband is an attorney, lol :smile2:

Forgot to answer this one earlier...I hope she doesn't start talking about me either because she is obviously nuts. But....in the hierarchy of nurses vs. patient sitters...the nurse is going to win. :bored:

Maybe I should have your husband take over my divorce case from Florida-I am sure he could still get more done than my incompetent lawyer here is doing!!!!! (I have about had it with THAT situation also!!! And this is supposed to be one of the "best" law firms and attorneys in town! Who is best friends with my uncle who is a judge. Just goes to show it doesn't really matter who you know after all...)

Yes she is. She was very relieved that she didn't have to sit by Shawn in her class this year!:smile2:

And you know, now that I am thinking about it, when I was growing up one of the kids in our neighborhood who was an absolute TERROR was named Shawn also. The evidence is piling up!!

I have never had any problem until today when I wore my new jeans from the Gap. They are the Essential jean, and they have more of a mid rise than a low rise, and everytime I sit down the waist of them is rubbing on my port and irritating it. I have never had any problems with my bra though.

      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...

      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
