I believe it's an individual thing. I had a drain for 10 days and was quite sore on my right side. *That* was the very last thing on my mind!

Only (3) few days. ;) Just don't get crazy with positions. Be gentle.

My physician said three weeks, but I think it varies.

It was Day 5 or 6 post-op for me. But take it easy and don't do more than your body can handle. Make the other person do all the work!

From what I have seen, the general consensus of hospital nurses is that you at least wait until you get home - they really don't want to have to deal with that!

Mine didn't either.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
