I had that when I had my tubes done. Was sticking out of the incision in my belly button. My post op visit my dr just cut it. Said it was fine. I'd still call the dr just in case Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine is the 18th, I've already been not able to sleep. Waking up from nightmares of waking up during surgery, falling off the table. Just stupid stuff. Had my pre op today, to my surprise they did no tests just a physical. Told me to stop taking my Vitamins today, can still take my meds with enough Water to take them morning of. Getting stuff situated at home, getting my sons clothes ready for school for the time I'm in the hospital, my mother will be here with him. Can't wait to get it over with Good luck to everyone.

I have not had luck with maderma, but my son got bit by a dog in the face few years ago he was 10 and he has no visible scars at all. Now when I used it, did nothing for me. Not sure if because of my age or what. And the stuff isn't cheap Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I love cruising, I'll miss all the food. The chocolate buffet and the tropical drinks are my favorites. As long as you stick with your program you should be on. Tips... Depends On what your trigger foods are. Stay away from them. Like for me I'd have to stay away from the chocolate buffet and the bar Keep busy, last cruise I went on i sept only 5 hours, we were so busy doing stuff onboard Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've seen a few threads about this and body odor. I'm still pre op but I've heard it is normal Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My dr doesn't require a bowel prep either. Just a two day liquid diet prior to surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Why should you be ashamed. You're making your life better with having surgery. My surgery is next week and everyone knows about it at work. I have had questions from day one of telling people. I just feel that the stigma is that people don't really understand it. If it bothers you, try to eat elsewhere or just educate them. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
