Post op LBL day 2/3 - with pics!!
In my experience day 3 is the turning point. I?ve taken myself off the narcotics (although I took one before my shower) but treating pain with extra strength Tylenol.
I?m able to get up myself, get around, fix simple meals, washroom, etc. I still get help propping pillows around me and under my legs and help with changing dressings. I answered a few work emails today but still tire easily and walk hunched over.
Here is me just before surgery and then post op day 2.

Thank you so much - I did all I could to shrink my stomach but this was as far as I could go. The surgeons helped with the rest :)
good luck and I hope your able to get your surgery soon!
