Yikes I don't know. I have mine on Dec 10th. I think they told us in class that unless it is oozing stuff that's it's ok. But it would not hurt just the call the doctors office and ask that's why they're there. Keep us posted.

One of my incisions felt like it had a knot under it, was slightly warm and did bruise by day 4. It continued to be sore for about 2 weeks while the other incisions didn't hurt much. I was told that one incision gets used more than the others and can hurt more. After 2 weeks, it still had a bit of a knot, but it's gone now. I had my surgery on October 15.

How many days was everyone in the hospital??

I was in 3 nights. I had rny and gall bladder removed. You will be fine. Make sure you get up and walk. It helps with the gas.

Keep us all posted. Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
