I'm from upper marlboro, md and I'm having my surgery at John's Hopkins on the 28th!!

.

I think you're right. I'll have to talk to my doctor about what I should do about it. Thanks

So recently i went to my PCP because for a while now i had been breaking out all over my face. I don't usually have a really bad problem but its been going on for several months and nothing I have tried has worked. When i went to her office she asked if there was anything different that I had been eating and I said no but later it dawned on me that the only thing i had been having was protein shakes. So last week i went on vacation with my family to myrtle beach and didn't have any shakes. My face cleared up almost instantly. So now I'm not sure if I should find a different type of shake or if there was something in that shake that i shouldn't have. I say alllll of this(sorry for being long winded) to say has anyone else had a similar problem with protein shakes and if so what did you do?

Me too!!!

I can understand how you feel my family is very active in church and many of my family members are ministers and pastors but when my uncle (who is a pastor) had the surgery they were all very supportive. Many of my family members struggle with obesity and so I do want to be able to show them that the surgery is a good option especially for those of us who are in our 20's. My plan is to tell them after I have the surgery done in case anyone decides to be negative. The people that I have decided to tell have been very supportive and are praying for everything to work out for me.

My surgery date is August 28th!!! Just got my approval today. So super excited!! and super nervous. Not sure how I'm going to make it all the way to August.

I just got my date for August 28th and i already told my immediate family but i dont know if i will tell anyone else cause my family is very judgmental and I dont need anyone else's opinions
