Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 Just a post-op note to the list. I had the MGB 5/8/00 and I am doing well. Had horrible gas pain the day of surgery (post-op) but it subsided in about 8 hours. I was out of the hospital in 24 hours. I have 5 small incisions on my abdomen that are pink and healed...did have some impressive bruising for the first 10 post-op days. I am on the Stage One eating phase (juices, gatorade, lowfat yogurt, watery soups) and occasionaly feel hungry but it doesn't take much to make it go away. Weight loss has been 10 pounds. I'm back to work and the every day routines. Good luck to the Pre-op folks! Regina ----------------------------------------------- FREE!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Oh, yeah! I'd forgotten about having to give myself an injection of Fragmin (blood thinner) in the stomach every evening for 2 weeks. AS IF -- as if I wasn't nudgy enough, I had to use that spring-loaded syringe and that puppy would sting like heck. I was off of coffee for 6 weeks -- or nearly that. Had the flippin' heebie-jeebies. (I'm grinning as I write this) Off to mow the lawn!! How's that for 3 months post-op! Joyce (Dr Gross, LHR, 2/2/04) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
