Day 10- how did you feel?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for surgery June 26!! So excited. A few months back I had planned a large tattoo and have an appointment 10 days after surgery on July 5. I was wondering if I should reschedule...

It'll be a long day starting at 12:00. If I'm going to feel okay, no need to reschedule or will I be sore/tired??

Depends where it is. I couldn't be on my stomach at all right now (exactly ten days out) and I'm tired. Like TIRED. I'm also 53 and ya know. You may be younger and bounce back just fine.

Also, wouldn't you want to wait to see what your body does after surgery. Skin shrinking could change the look

I'm ten days out today. I wouldn't recommend it. Tired, weak. Your skin will change, wait.

Hello

I would reschedule Your tattoo appointment because everyone heals different and you need to rest and make sure you are well enough before doing anything else and also you don't want to risk getting a bad infection if any complication. Of course you must make the best decision but I would take it one step at a time. You can always get it another time. 😊. Best of luck

Definitely wait, you want your body to focus on healing up your insides and incisions, and you don't need another thing to worry about washing and tending to, and potentially getting infected.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
