Had gastric bypass/gallbladder surgery 3/11

Hi all! Had my surgery on March 11th. As of today I am doing great. I go tomorrow to have drains and staples removed. Here is a good tip for you after surgery: when getting into the shower with your drains still in, run a string thru the hole and tie them around your neck. That way you have both hands free to bathe (and believe me...that first shower feels sooooooo good!!)

Glad you are doing so well, Delilah! You are right--showers are something I had taken for granted! (I'm still finding sticky in places I cant see well!) Joy

Delilah, I am glad to hear you are doing well!! Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler and Bertha 14 Days into NewPouch and feeling great! -28 lbs!!!! Yayyyy A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY!

HEY! Had surgery the same day... same thing gastric bypass/ gallbladder. I was looking for someone to talk to about it all. How do you feel? I am feeling great and know what you mean about the first shower! I had to wait 4 days and was sooooooo glad just to wash my hair! I had my second one today and it was even better because I was at home. Hope to hear from you soon! In my thoughts and prayers. April
