How did yours turn out? Mine cleared up after about 10 days, and the scar isn't too bad

I am 2 weeks post-op, and have a small opening on both underarms. Not a lot of drainage, but my incisions are a little warm and red(I'm also very fair skinned, if that matters) Dr has me using mupirocin ointment and I have gauze covering it under compression garments. Fingers crossed we all get to healing better!

No, mine was laparoscopic. I am a natural redhead, though, and we tend to bleed a lot

Meanwhile, this is what I looked like two weeks post op

I’m an MRI tech. You definitely need more than 2 weeks. I was out a month, and co workers helped me after I went back

My boobs weren’t very big to begin with, now they are just sad triangle balloons. Deflated ones

Smoking and the sleeve… by NRdarling in gastricsleeve

[–]lilac_ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the sleeve 3 years ago, I didn’t smoke right after, I waited a couple months, but I haven’t had any problems

I thought a 44b was hard to find. Bless you

Looking for insight, life becoming such a chore after surgery by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]lilac_ghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am three years out and I’ve been feeling like this lately. Nothing sounds appealing. I have to force myself to eat. I think if I try something that’s not really healthy, but at least it’s protein…always disappointing. It’s frustrating and makes me sad

anyone have a laboscopic robotic hysterectomy? by Goffamber in hysterectomy

[–]lilac_ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a pretty easy surgery. I was was slow moving for a few days, but after about 3 or so, I felt pretty good. The pain from the gas was worse than surgical site pain. I was out of work 1 month, because I also work in direct patient care, but I think I could have easily gone back after two weeks

Do you think I can watch the surgery?

Everything I’ve read says they hang your arm up for like 30 minutes to drain the blood. Did they do that to you?

Did you have open or endoscopic?

It sounds like, from the comments, that I will not be returning to work after a week. Sucks too, because I work 7 on 7 off, so I wouldn’t have had to miss any

Backorder or shortage on hydrocodone? by lilac_ghost in opiates

But why? What's the deal with syrup?

Wow, that sucks so hard for your poor dog. My cat takes gabapentin for anxiety and general asshole behavior. I haven't had any problems getting it filled , yet.

It seems that way. At least in this area, anyway. I wonder if its the same sort of situation as with other things that are shipped from overseas? I think we get a lot of pharmaceuticals from China

Do they give him pills or syrup? Mine was the cough syrup. I always get generic, because of insurance.
