Questions

Surgery 8/23 all is well. I have six incisions need to have staples out next week. How will this go what should I be prepared for? No nausea, no dumping, no problems...praise God!!! I am experiencing this tightness, could this be from the surgery? I always feel like there is a pull a tightness. Anyone else experienced this? Outside of this nothing else.

I had my surgery on 8/22. I have tightness too. I think it's normal. The only pain I have is the incision sites. Only up hill from here for us :)

I had surgery on 8/10 and you'll be relieved to know that by 2 1/2 to 3 weeks out, the soreness, even tightness or pulling, is completely gone. Though I did not have external staples. Mine were dissolving stitches that do not have to be removed. Best to you both on the journey!
