- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

18 Days Post Op
Hey Everyone!
I thought I would post a little update since I haven't in a little over a week and things change so much during these first few weeks of post op.
Things are going pretty well.
My pain is basically gone. I started on purees last Thursday, so that's a nice step up, although I was very quick to notice that my body really only wanted refried beans with issue is staying hydrated. I am doing the absolute best I can but I am really struggling with it. My body does NOT like cold water, it tolerates room temp water but not without so nausea, so crystal light and vitamin water zero's are how I've been going. I am down 20 pounds since surgery. Most people make comments on how my face looks thinner, and I notice that as well, along with my boob, they are officially leaving, but I have plenty to spare so I'm not too sad about that.
Eventually I will get some pictures up here!

Update!
Sorry for the late update!
I’m 8 days post op.
Things are going pretty well, I have little to no pain now.
I’m down a total of 17 pounds since surgery.
I was able to run a few errands today (pedicure and trip to the mall for new glasses)bit today.
My nausea has been a little high the past few days but I think it’s me trying different liquids that my stomach just isn’t agreeing with.
I’ve learned my taste buds have completely changed. I’ve tried a few soups and drinks I once loved that now made me gag a bit so that sucks.

Hello all!
Yesterday was surgery day!
Checked in at 6:30AM
Got Rolled back to OR at 8:30 and was waking up around 12 in recovery.
Got up to my hospital room about 1.
I got up around 2:30 to go potty and even walked down the hall and back!
I’ve been able to keep liquids down. One ounce every 30 minutes.
A lot of sleeping is happening, the pain meds and anti nausea meds have me knocked out.
Moving and coughing is the worst. You never realize how much you use your stomach muscles until you try to get comfortable in your hospital bed. ????
