Ugh I'm Still in sooo much pain!!! I'm taking my antibiotics 4x a day due to a wound infection and loratab liquid pain reliever every 4 hrs I no longer have gauze packed in my open incision so it can drain and close on its own but as soon as my pain med wears off I can't even stand straight So frusterating!! I had RNY Sept 10th. Sorry just venting!!

So gross!

I've seen alot of posts that ppl were sent home with binders after surgery. I didn't get one does it help? Where can i buy one??

Jennifer hope everything went well for you today!

I had my filter placement this am all is fine m neck s a bit sore. Talked to the drs office everything is in order we are on track for Tuesday .

I'm 2 weeks out Monday but because of scheduling I will be doing protein and water till October 5. This sux! Plus I can't drink most protein it makes me sick I've been sticking to premier protein pure protein and wheybolic all in chocolate.

I didn't get one either I wonder if I should? I'd try a med supply store maybe some pharmacies?
