Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hi everyone! I am 10 days post-op and doing great! The first 6 days following surgery were VERY hard. I had no energy at all. I never regretted my decision one moment, but longed to feel better. I developed this wierd gag reflex at the thought of drinking isopure, jello, and broth. It is amazing what the mind can do! It wasn't until 8 days post op that I really started to feel like myself again. So far, I've lost 24 lbs. since I started the pre-op diet until now. I'm pleased, but know things will slow down as I add milk, yogurt, cream soups, etc. and that is OKAY with me. So today being day 10... I took off the surgical tape and my husband was prepared to take my stitches out. one BIG problem... my incisions have healed OVER the stitches and the knots on each end. I guess my skin is really efficient at healing, but come on! Not sure what to do about this, short of my husband slicing my skin on the end of my incisions to get access to the knots so we can cut and pull. Did this happen to anyone else????!!!! What did you do??!! Appreciate any ideas!! Hello to all the June 16th bandsters!!! (, Kira, Tasha, and Donnie) How are you all doing? Thanks!
