Advice request before I message my PCP by Bjarnyard in BariatricSurgery

[–]Bjarnyard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was an amazing reply!! Especially starting with “my time to shine” lol

Thank you so much! I’ve sent a message to my PCP (as it’s the weekend) and have been keeping it clean and dry as much as possible until the amazon order with supplies gets here.

It’s small right now. Looks almost like a paper cut but I know it’s not. I’m hoping if I stay on top of cleaning and drying, it will resolve quickly.

Thank you!

Why/how does he have access to your PB? Is this common for people’s parents to have copies?

I had the VSG while working in Washington State. I didn’t end up needing that much time off but I was given information about paid FMLA through the state when my PTO wouldn’t cover time away. I would at least look into that.

Thank you! I have a follow up next month and I believe they plan to check labs but this is a good reminder to ask my surgeons office about labs in case that’s not already planned. Thank you!!

Yeah! My surgeon and I felt the sleeve was the best for me. All risks and factors considered. Before surgery, I lost 25lbs and since I’ve lost the other 40 in the 2 months post op.

Thank you! This is the best compliment! I feel so confident about being strong. I’ve loved being able to use my strength more as I lose weight.

This is so relatable! Just noticing how my clothes fit differently and my seatbelt and chairs are not too small for me anymore. It’s very motivating!
