first checkup with the surgeon

Hey all I had my first (two week) check up with the surgeon today and got a good report. He said he thinks that I am doing great. Everything looked fantastic except I have a little infection starting, one of my incisions opened about a week ago and is draining alot. It isn't bad but he gave me an antibiotic for the next ten days. We also discussed the feeling of fullness and nausea I have been having and he thinks it might be the amount of meds I take in the morning. (I am on quite a few meds for other reasons) He suggested spreading them out over a longer time period so we will see how that goes. The really exciting thing is that I have lost 21 lbs. WHOO HOO It is amazing. He told me to expect to be "recovering" for almost two months, I guess I am pushing it to much I just want to be back to my busy self too soon. (No I haven't been doing too much my DH is making sure of that, I am just frustrated and wanting to go go go) Just wanted to share my good news. Have a great one. Belinda

fantastic news !! 21 pounds...wow ! a friend of mine, had only lost 4 lbs at 2 weeks, i thought it should be more than that, i hope she is nt havin probs....anyways, you are doing great ! fast recovery for you too !

Great job Belinda!   Keep at it.  Hope that nausea eases.

wonderful news. spacing the meds will help. It took me all day to get meds and vitamins in post op

great job Belinda 

That is awesome for two weeks keep up the good work!!!

Keep up the great work Belinda! I just started taking all my vitamins together over the last week or so and it still takes me about 30 mins to get them all down.  Space them out and I'm sure you will feel better.

First of many many good posts!!!  Congrats!!!
