Post op question

Just wondering how long it took for everyone to heal and start losing after surgery. And for the gas pains to subside.

Hi, gas pains a couple of days. Healing was pretty quick. I gained a few pounds right after the surgury but lost it all  and more within a few days og being home.

Hi there, just wondering how your feeling. How was your hospital stay. I'm curious my surgery is June 6th 

Hey my surgery is June 6th too! at TWH, where are you having yours?

my surgery is at Humber River 

Hi, I'm feeling terrific, no lies! My hospital stay was good, rested quite a bit, did my laps as suggested by the nurses. Probably the thing I had to concentrate most on was the drinking. Not difficult like some say, just taking the sips every 15 minutes. My surgery was May 3rd a Tuesday and I was out on the Thursday.

One other thing, my surgeon used steri-strips rather than sutures or staples to close the opening. I found that really interesting, amazed they held so well as they look just like small band-aids. Go figure!

Some of the surgeons use glue to hold the incisions shut, and the steri-strips reinforce the glue. My surgeon used the glue method, and it worked perfectly.

Hey,

My surgery was at 2, and I was discharged about 3 the next day.  I've been feeling close to normal the last few days- the pain is mostly gone.I find more than anything I'm just super tired!

Good luck on Monday!

I had gas pains for about a day and a half. It took me 2 weeks to be fully mobile, and about a month to feel back to myself again.

The losing will happen - don't sweat it. I saw good movement on the scale about 1 week after coming home from the hospital.

Just make sure you are drinking lots, eating your protein, and following the plan your doc gave you.
