Hi Tracey, welcome to the forum. My name is Pamela

and I am 5 weeks post op. I went through KP Richmond

with Dr. Park being my primary physician; assisted by

Dr. Baggs.

I had surgery on Feb 8th and was released on Feb 9th.

The surgery was the best thing I could have ever done.

I am enjoying life to the fullest now. I have 37

more pounds to go to get to my goal. I started this

process at the end of October and I have lost 82.5

pounds total, 27 prior to surgery. I can't complain.

Just take things slow and follow the Dr.'s orders.

I wish you well as you begin this new journey. We are

all here to support you.

I had open RNY in August of 2003. I stayed in the hospital for 2 days.

I had alot of pain, but the pain meds worked, so as long as I took it

on schedule I was fine. You will feel tired for the first few weeks. I

was out of work for 4 weeks but wish I would have taken 6. I work with

children and all the up and down movement really hurt my first week or

so back. You probably wont notice a major change for about a month or

so. When I came back to work after 4 weeks, my co workers could tell.

My eating habits in the very beginning were: protein protein protein.

For breakfast I would have maybe 1/2 a srambled egg. Lunch was cottage

cheese. Dinner was whatever meat hubby cooked. I didnt puree my food.

My surgeon wanted us to eat as normal as possible so I chewed chewed

chewed. I kept the little cups they gave me in the hospital to measure

out my food. As I got farther out I used the 4 oz gladware containers

and at first only filled it half way. Then as I got a little farther

out I would loosely fill it up. I still dont do white chicken, like

the breast very well, too dry.

Oh my gosh. Thank you Robynn. That was truly a typo.

What if that would have happened. Boy, I certainly

would be on cloud nine for sure. Thanks again Robyn.

LTLJSMOM--OK, I'm not , but I had open WLS surgery too. I feel

that my scar is much less noticeable than all the fat I'm getting rid

of.

Besides, I never plan to model in the nude, except to my hubby, who

loves me, scars and all! I've got 3 major scars: open heart surgery

from 1970, hysterectomy from December, 2001 and WLS June 3, 2004.

Even my smallish open heart surgery scar has faded somewhat, but it

will always be with me, and I don't mind.

Thanks for the info Sandi,

I completely agree any scar is going to be much more attractive than all this fat I have! I was just curious.

My scar is exactly 6 inches as promised, I measured it. It has faded

to an almost natural skin tone color for me. Its not bad at all. I

mean it is noticeable but not horrible. Now my tummy tuck scar which

goes hip to hip makes me kinda look like a volkswagon. LOL
