A continuation of our Summer 2018 Check-In thread...

Welcome all Summer 2018 Surgery Post-Op Patients! As we make our way into the Post-Op zone, let’s carry on the conversation and support.

Everyone is welcome, if you had surgery in the summer of 2018 jump right in!

The Ponies applaud your Post-Op Arrival!

Any recommendations on what brand / type to get?

Now i gotta add another purchase to my list! Lol

I just took it off because I needed a break but it definitely helped me move around better and with less pain

I just got a simple one off of Amazon. I got it in 2x because of the measurements but I would’ve had a little more wiggle room with a 3x

Thx!

No problem! ?

I'm officially a member of this board. Surgery this morning. Tummy pretty sore, of course. I get sick when they give me morphine. Other than that a good end to the day. I did walk around the hospital floor 5 times. Suppose to help with nasty gas. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be feeling better. Thanks for the encouragement on this board.

Congrats and welcome to the post op side! The walking and gas x (if they will give it to you) will definitely help! The soreness definitely gets better over time. I still feel it 5 days post op but not as intensely! Here’s to a speedy recovery!!!

Welcome and congrats!

1 week post-op and nervous to weigh myself...

but I am down 9.5 lbs!!

So happy for everyone! One week, 12.2 pounds down! What’s up RNY family ♥️

I wish I was losing. I am a week post op tomorrow but the only thing I’ve been really trying to lose is the 10 lbs of gas weight I gained post op. So my goal has literally been me trying to get back to my preop weight
