Omg I Hope My Surgery Wont B Rescheduled!



Recommended Posts

Okkk so my surgery is 8/15 this Wednesday but I woke up with a rash or bite of some kind and I scheduled a doctors appointment for tomorrow, the last thing I wanna hear is we r gonna reschedule ur surgery!!

It's really itchy and it sorta tingels and burns and it sorta swollen hard like when u get bit by a mosquito ... Any ideas what it might be? Or if you think they will reschedule??

I attached photos please excuse my nasty cellulite .... It's on my inner thighs!!

Sorry kinda graphic!!

The bullseye (2nd pic) reminds me of a spider or tick bite. Don't know about the others, if they don't go away see a dermatologist. A lot of times the primary care docs just say rub some hydrocortisone on it if it doesn't look infected.

This is gross but they are these bugs that bite and feed on you!!! I had them in the same exact spot. The only thing you can do is try to control the itch with benadryl and cortisone cream.

They really don't look like ringworm.

Each pic looks like something different. The bullseye one looks to me like a spider or tick bite. The 1st one looks like a boil forming and the last one looks like just a simple dermatitis. All can itch. Definitely see your MD about it though. Hope it's nothing that will postpone your surgery tomorrow.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
