She probably will post something tomorrow, if just a line or two. The internet means all to Chantel, and she’s super narcissistic so she probably thinks her fans are all staying up and waiting to hear from her. But in reality, she’s unlikely to be able to hold her phone for long, I imagine she’s much weaker than any of us would be who went through the same surgery, and you don’t realize it until your gut is cut open but every movement you make affects those muscles.
What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall when they tell her to stand up for the first time. It hurts like hell and you cannot believe they want you to do something so painful, but normal people follow instructions, and when you do it you immediately start to feel better. But then most don’t have 400 lbs of hanging fat on their abdomen.
I think Chantel is going to cry and pushback and not do it until “tomorrow.”. Nurses can’t force her to do it and they will probably have to get a team together as fall protection, so if she says no that will be her last chance for a while as getting four nursing staff in the same room is hard.
I can see her getting side effects: wound infections, a PT, or as somebody upthread said, atalectasis and pneumonia. They’ll give her a device to blow on to keep her lungs pushing stuff out, but that is also very painful after abdominal surgery and she might balk at that too.
I bet we hear a “funny” story time mukbang on ways she foiled all the doctors after surgery. And look, she’s fine. Then she has a heart attack and drops dead on camera.
