Hi Everyone. I am 10 days post op and laying in bed crying my eyes out. I have been overweight for 10 years and thought all my prayers were answered when I finally got my approval for surgery. I followed the presurgery diet and my bmi was under 40 so I as told it would be a safe journey. I had surgery and the same day I let fainting and my heart rate was super high. The next day they realized I had internal bleeding and had to go back in for surgery. Two days later I as much worse and had to get a couple of blood transfusions. After a week I came home for started feeling so much better. Yesterday I woke up with a swollen lymph node in my neck and I feel more tired. I am so nervous i am going to keep getting complications. SORry so long but nobody seems to understand especially because it was an elective surgery

So sorry you are having a difficult recovery. Do call your doctor's office about the swollen lymph node - they need to be aware of it.

Just remember that these first few weeks are tough because your body has been through trauma (surgery) and is healing. It's going to be 4-6 weeks before you start feeling "normal." Hang in there.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
