1 Week post-op

Jan 24, 2011

Today is exactly 1 week post-op and truthfully this is the first time that I felt half-way normal. I got my staples taken out this morning and will have my G-tube in until Feb 21. I know not everyone has one but my surgeon swears by them so it's a requirement. It's kinda annoying but I am okay with it and understand the reason for it. I haven't felt up to exercising any more than basic walking but hope that by the end of the week I will be able to do some sort of modified work outs.

I can honestly say that I have no regrets about doing this but I do have the fear of looking like a deflated balloon that some bariatric patients get. I may ask what I can do to avoid this when I go to my first group support meeting on Friday.
