Hello

After stalking the Obesity Help forum for quite a few months now, I thought that it was time to register. I had surgery on 11/1/11 @ Alta Bates Summit. At 13 days out, thankfully I'm doing well. Yesterday I had a terrible 8 hour stint of naseua, but I've been ok today. Just really can't wait to get out of this liquid phase of the post-op diet. Since surgery my taste buds have changed, and everything that I once liked (even after surgery) has begun to gross me the heck out.

One question that I have is that one of my incisions is closing but if i try to reach for something I feel pulling from that incision area. Not sure if it's the incision or the stitches that closed the muscle wall. If anyone has experienced this sort of thing please advise, and please advise when this awarkward pulling feeling will be over.

I look forward to learning from other post-ops, and enjoying this journey. I hope that I posted my introduction in the right forum.

I think that's pretty typical with the incisions. I would just take it easy and call my surgeon if it doesn't gradually get better and especially if it gets worse!
