1st Post-op Appointment

I had my first post-op appointment today. My surgery was on the 12th. I was really looking forward to it since I was eager to see just how much I'd lost ( and boy was I ready to have these staples out.) I'm please to say I've lost 21 lbs so far. I couldnt be happier (well maybe if I had a burger)

Neshia, Congratulations! That is excellent progress. I have my first post-op tomorrow morning and am looking forward to it as well. Regards, Jamie

Hi Neshia-Oh my gosh I can relate to those staples! Mine were a little late coming out but either way they are out! My surgery was on July 6th and I was shocked at my first weigh in. I basically lost the same as you just one pound difference. Congratulations Neshia. Take care, joyce

NESHIA YOU ARE DOING GREAT , I HAD MY SURGERY ON THE 12TH ALSO BUT I ONLY LOST 17 POUNDS YOU GO GIRL ... SARA

Neshia, congratulations on your weight loss. I too had my surgery on the 12th and am down 34 pounds today according to my scales. (The doctor's may say differently) but I don't go to see him till August 8. My doctor superglued all my incisions shut. It is really wierd looking to have these little lines of glue on your belly where the incisions were. But the glue starts to peel off after about a week and now at 16 days my incisions are all completely healed and I have been a diabetic for about 8 years so that is amazing. I still have a little scab where the drain was in but it is closing more each day. My doctor said I could start back swimming but no swan dives. He is a riot. Isn't this surgery fantastic!!! I wish I had done it years ago. Take care and stay in touch. Alice

Neshia, 21 pounds sounds fantastic! Congratulations! My first post-op in on Friday. Hugs, Pam M
