Hello everyone ,well today is the last day of pre op diet only a week, not bad at all . Tomorrow at 5:30 am I start the process of GBP . I'm ready to reinvent myself and there's no doubt in my mind I WILL be a success!!!! I'll post some before pics of myself with my face covered....there are only a select few who knows I'm having the GBP.Why? Because its none of their damn business, point blank period. Friday May 24th is my rebirth......hope everyone has a great day and a wonderful weekend/ Memorial Day !!

Hi all packing my bag' date='I think I'll only be in the hospital for one day ,checkout on Saturday @ 11:00am . I have a question ,I've been reading about a drain? My Dr. Hasn't said anything about a drain, but he did prescribe a blood thinner shot to be given by me for 14 days..... Does anyone have any idea and or have your Dr. Prescribe the shot for you. I'll ask him in the morning before my surgery but I wanted to get a little infor beforehand. Does it hurt, did you have any problems shooting yourself? Thank you so much.[/quote']

I only had them while in the hospital. They do sting a bit and I didn't have to give them to myself.

Ok here's an update the pain is almost gone!! It was GAS yes yes yes the dreaded GAS ' date='well I should say Air because there wasn't a funky smell ,just loud and lonnnnnnnng wind!! Sounded like a trumpet blowing ,Want to know how I expelled that dreaded gas ? ( sure you do ) I laid on my left side (yeah is hurt but not as Good as the wind flying out!!) I raised my left leg as far to my chest as I could and my right leg straight as a broad and WALA about a minute all hell broke loose !!! It was like "RELEASE THE CRACKENS" !!! The hubby and dogs ran into the bedroom scared and wanting to know WTH was that noise lol ( no not really) but it really was long and loud!! I took and nice very warm shower ,put on a new fresh granny gown ,you know the one with no shape just big ,armless and come down to your knees,I bought seven of those things ,I figured I would use them about three times each and donate them ,but they are really to slip on and off right now ,and it's all about the ease and comfort during this stage of WL .back in my recliner again tonight's and probably for the rest of the week just to be on the safe side well check in tomorrow Happy Memorials Day ![/quote']
