    Re: Discouraged

    I have lost 20 pounds since my surgery on May 21st. I don't feel that I "look good" yet, but my feet are thinner, my face, my legs, my arms, my shoes fit loose and my pants (size 18) fit me really...
  6. Re: 6 days post op and have GAINED 3 lbs....is that normal?

    You will begin to loose all those liquids and gas in your body. You will soon loose all that water retention. You'll see. It's normal. Walk as much as you can to rid of all that liquid and gas.

    Re: Pain

    I think it's gas, or what I call "hunger phantom pains". Maybe it's the muscle tissue trying to contract back to its normal self; you know how they just separated the muscle tissue and didn't cut...

    Re: Drain tube

    Yes, you were very lucky. I suppose I bled too much to not keep the drain tube in tact. The tube didn't hurt, it was the sutures. Then they got all twisted and they kept pulling my skin and the whole...

    Re: Drain tube

    Wow, right away it was removed? You were lucky. The torture of that thing. Maybe you didn't leak or bleed as much and that's why they removed it right away. For me, I was suppose to have it 9 days. I...

    Re: Drain tube

    Amen Sister!! That's how mine was! LOL! The sutures holding to my skin was what was killing me so they had to go. But the tube also, it was the most annoying ever. Well, glad that part is over.

    Re: Who Can Answer This?

    You will gain weight if you stretch your sleeve. That can be done by over-eating or drinking alcohol, beer, soda, things like that. By driking or consuming gascious food items your pouch will fill...
