Irrational fear

Not that I would have tried this (nor should anyone), but my surgeon said that with the titanium staples they use, and the way things are done during surgery, I could have lifted a small car without opening the pouch.

On the other hand, I also heard from the dietitian that one of the few people that died after surgery from my clinic did so because they ate pizza two days post op and opened their pouch irreparably.

Follow the guidelines from your clinic and check in with them if you have any strange or worsening pain.

And don't eat pizza... dang.

Follow your surgeon's and nutritionist's rules and guidelines and you will be just fine.  I think  we all worry a bit that we will mess it up, especially if we feel a twinge of pain or something.  You will do just fine, I'm sure.

The people that have problems are the ones who do not follow the rules.  Some people do the craziest things.  I saw this story after I had my surgery...I wasn't seeking it, but it somehow showed up on facebook or in my news alerts.  Insane.  Why would you have surgery and then do this?  Why do people eat pizza soon after or pick up fast food on the way home from the hospital?
