@@CE24 Ok, I see. I would do what your PCP says. Of course keep an eye on it but give it some time to Close up. If it's not hot to the touch or has any signs of infection it will probably just Heal up. The belly button is usually a warm and moist place (especially if you have any extra skin on the belly) it's harder for the skin to heal in places Like that. I'm sure they probably told you not to soak in any water ect...just keep it clean and don't touch on it too much. Hopefully it will be closed up before you know it!

@@naturreal I do the same thing some days I can eat ok and others I would rather just drink shakes.

@@bluesclues I've lost some hair and I take zinc. Warning: if your not use to taking zinc make sure your belly has some food in it or take it before bed because it can make Some people sick, myself included.

@@fox99 If your allowed protein shakes make sure you space them out enough that your not going to long between feedings. Stay strong! Good luck!

I don't think it's dramatic enough to need a wound specialist yet. Maybe it's just the picture doesn't seem too bad. If you are diabetic Then maybe. You can always go to your local drug store and get some steri strips to put on it to help keep it closed up a bit. Just keep it clean and keep your eye on it. Your healing from the inside out so it could look rough for a minute. Do they want you to keep it uncovered so it can heal? @@CE24

You look great!!

Ha! You should do just fine! It's a fabulous feeling!

That's right! No matter what the recovery phase is it won't come close to comparing with how fantastic the results can be! Trust me I'm one of the people who had it a little more rough after surgery but 4 months later it never crosses my mind, I would do it 10x over if I had to!@@Nikkidoodlebug

Yep you pretty much just have to roll with it.

Sounds like your doing great! You should be proud. Congrats!

Nobody should bash you! I'm not an expert but I've heard people do a "pre-op" type liquid diet for a week- and it can help. Have you always been hungry after surgery or is this new? @@britt1511

I'm glad you stopped the vomiting! I'm not even going to lecture you because you already know how bad it is. An eating disorder can be as bad as a drug addiction. Keep strong! That's awesome that your turning things around

None for this girl...even the though makes my sleeve scream...oh yes I can hear it

Hello and welcome!!

@@Nikkidoodlebug It may not be completely painless but it probably won't be near as bad as your imagining! Look luck love!

Awesome!

I wasn't allowed to lose any but after approval I lost 12 on the 2 week liquid diet

Fantastic!! Congratulations!

Yay! That's exciting! Good luck!

I hear you! Nobody should be telling your business, especially if you asked them not to. I'd be pissed to, and slightly Saddened that they have nothing better going on in their lives to talk about.....@@laceyrasely92

Keep faith! God luck!

Whenever the thought of someone putting pressure of your stomach doesn't make you want to punch them in the face.....Yep that's when.

@@GenaW828 Lol thank you!

@@MrsSugarbabe Clumps sound terrifying! Mines shedding but no big clumps yet....heaven have mercy!

No I can't because I still love my quest bars
