Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Any advice on where I can find a belly binder on the quick? My surgery is in less than 48 hours.

What's a. belly binder?

1st trip out today...had an emotional breakdown in the grocery store. Is that normal? Please tell me this goes away!

Aw, so sad to hear that you had such a hard time. Sure it's normal, a lot of hormonal issues can occur with weight loss and surgery. Cheer up! We're here for you!

Hello everyone I'm new to this I found this app yesterday..I had my surgery Wednesday the 5th.. I hope everyone is doing well

Welcome!

I had a friend that had hers done in Boston ma. (supposedly) after month she wasn't losing any weight at all..come to find out the surgeon only put incisions in her and didn't perform the operation..he was scamming the insurance company..she found out cause she was not feeling well and went to a local hospital where they did a ultra sound and saw she didn't have have a bypass done

Seriously? The surgeon would have had to be paying quite a few people under the table...

So I'm a little shaken up. Surgery is tomorrow, was on clear liquids today and had to drink that magnesium citrate to clear my bowels. After that I wasn't feeling well so I laid down. My 7 year old comes in screaming that the three year old was bleeding and dad couldn't get it to stop. I jumped up, realized his teeth were displaced and we rushed him to the dentist where they did emergency oral surgery to remove two teeth. It was a brutal surgery since they were still attached to the bone... Lots of blood.

Anyways, as soon as the last suture was placed, I passed smooth out in the office, came to and puked my guts up. Also my stool is bright red, but that citrate drink was red.

Do y'all think I'm ok to have surgery tomorrow?

I don't know I know I spent two nights in the hospital when I had mine done..but she was home the same day..I don't even think she went to a hospital it I believe it was in an office

Not that I want to doubt you, but is she a very reliable friend? It almost sounds like a story!

Well I've known her for a few years and I only heard about this since I told her about me having the surgery she was trying to discourage me from having it...I'm only 6 days post op and don't really have anyone else to talk to..and since my surgery she doesn't really talk to me anymore..if I tell her about the pain I'm in..she tells me quit whinning about it..I choose to do it..I don't know what I did its seems like I lost my best friend

Sounds to me as if she might be jelous, but I don't want to put that in your head..she's your friend and you know her so I'm not here to judge...I'm sorry she's not very supportive for you, but there are lots of great people here to offer support and advice and to cheer you on!

The hospital should supply you one if they don't, ask them for one as all hospitals carry the binders

Thank you...maybe she is..its as if she changed overnight..she said had asked once if I think I'm better than her that's why I'm doing the surgery..but that's not why I'm still gonna be the same person I am now..just healthier..oh well I'm not gonna stay this way for anyone
