6 days post op and I have yet to put on make up or fix my hair, I just take my bath, wash my face and let my hair dry naturally!! (Very scary)

I have a call into the surgeons office, about a problem with my arm where my IV was at (in the bend of my arm) and the vein has swollen and I can't straighten my arm completely out! So I'm hoping they will take a look at it today!!

I ended up having an ultrasound and it ended up being a blood clot in a superficial vein in my forearm!!! :(

So sorry to hear about your trouble. Maybe in the next day or so you can go to the salon and get your hair done. I am a hairstylist and at our salon we take walk ins as well as our regulars. I have had many ladies who were not my reg. clients come in for a Shampoo and style after surgery. Sometimes there reg stylist can't fit them in, and they always leave saying how awesome it was to get a good shampoo/scalp massage. Having there hair styled professionally makes them feel so much better. Anyway, just a suggestion that might make you feel better.:)

      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! 😞
