My surgery is on September 26th and I'm extremely nervous.

the above c9nfused emoji is fi4 you 'cause I think this is not the way the brochure read!

How is everyone doing so far?

Doing pretty good. Just wish I could get some real energy back! Guess that will come as I consume more food.

I'm ready to start doing more exercise. Since the surgery of lost about 19 lbs.

On of my incisions opened.... I'm sure that is really bad..

I was sleeved 9/25 and doing fairly well. Believe after some soup that made my sleeve angry it caused some reflux so I’m behind in liquids and protein but starting to try to catch up after a couple days of TLC. Still makes me nervous anytime I feel anything because I’m sure it’s one of the horrible complications. Down 16.4 since surgery and 49.7 since I started my pre-op on 8/28. I miss eating but after the soup experience I’m fine holding off for another couple of weeks.

@CRD1981, how bad is it? Are you going to see your surgeon about it or is it small enough you can just,put Neosporin and a BandAid on? When you are finished healing you may just have it not a perfect white line, a mini-wider. My abdominal wall one from when I had my gall bladder &appendix removal is still wider where the drain was in and that was 34 and a half years ago. No shame in my game, I'll show my belly to anyone, it's just few people ask!

My surgeon told me to keep it clean and put gauze over it

I went back to work today. Feeling bit tired this eve and feel some tugging in belly. Prob from inside stitches. Yesterday I started having diarrhea several times yesterday and few times today already. I know that isn’t helping the dehydration that is prob lurking already. Just ready to go home and rest. I go see my surgeon tomorrow for my two week follow up. I noticed I had some pain through my upper back when trying to eat last night but none today. Hope everyone is well. Oh yea and I still have the allergic reaction around all my incisions. Just not as bad.

Is it possible to stall this early on?

Congratulations on your weight loss

Absolutely! Just drink and walk as much as you can without putting too much strain on yourself.

Thanks for the advice.. I'm on my way out the door right now to the park.

Definitely possible to stall early. I’m 2 weeks post op and weighed myself this morning. Same weight as last week. Bummed but I also now have actual food in my system and while not constipated, things aren’t regular yet. I’m going to try to fit in more walking and just keep at it! ?
