  10. Couple of mine are blistery. I am kicking myself bcuz I had this reaction a few years ago too. I can’t remember what dr had me do tho...keep it dry & covered, neosporin & covered? Or did he prescribe something. Ugh. Wish I could remember. Guess I’ll be calling him tomorrow. The pic shows only left side...I have 4 incisions & my WHOLE stomach is like this[emoji22]

  12. Anyone else have reaction to the band aids used after surgery? I obviously stopped using any adhesives & I’m not running a fever but it doesn’t seem to be getting better.

  14. I am backwards to your procedures. Had a hysterectomy yesterday & scheduled for VSG next Monday. Hasn’t been that difficult or super painful so far and having surgery yesterday & not being very active has helped me with the liquid diet part. How are you recouping? Which recover is worse?
  15. I’m December 18 too! Super excited! The next five days are going to be long waiting for the day to come!
  16. I’m new to the sleeve part of BP. I had a lapband 6 years ago, had to have it removed beginning of November due to slipping and now I am scheduled to be sleeved on December 18. Super excited! This is my third day on liquids, only four more days to go and then it’s surgery day!

  18. My biggest hurdle is between dinner & bed too. Sucking on SF popsicles when I want to eat is helpful for me. You can have up to six and still stay under 100 calories!

  20. Might be gas pains you’re feeling from the laparoscopic surgery. I’ve heard a lot of people complain about pains in that area, up to the neck & shoulders.
  21. I started liquids Monday, I have 5 more days. December 18th is the big day for me!!
  22. Where are you having surgery? I’m scheduled for 12/18
