They used the superglue stuff. The other 4 look fine. One on the infected ones just looks like it has a scab and my skin is red around it. The bad one had yellow on it and started to pull apart. My skin also red and itchy around it. Surgeon just cut out tissue on bad one. It was numb. I didn't feel anything. Hopefully will get under control. I'll have hubby take a pic when he changes the bandage later.Just curious, what did they do to close the incisions the first time? I had the silly little bandages when I had the lap band, and one of the incisions looked pretty bad, might have even got infected. This time? They used a product called derma-bond. It's basically glue. It has worked amazingly well. I've had scrapes that looked worse than these.
Sorry to hear about the infection, but I would imagine you'll feel a bit better once you get enough Keflex in your system. I can only imagine how smells and food tastes now...

So 2 of my 6 incisions are infected. Went to dr. Today he debried one and it has to be packed and covered to heal. Didn't hurt. Just started looking bad yesterday. He also put me on Keflex. Kind of gross. I am going to have my husband help me.

No, but I am on day 4 and let's just say liquid in liquid out. Not pee. Gross. Good luck.Hi!
I'm 2 days into my pre-op all liquid diet and I haven't been able to keep down the Protein Shakes without throwing up. I'm afraid maybe I'm allergic to an ingredient in the shakes. Has anyone else had this problem? -

I agree, I have been contacting them daily. I am a cash patient. I feel that they are just pushing me thru. Just really nervous. My insurance has a bariatric exclusion. I know if I went through insurance every thing would be checked.Well its the 18th and I would of called someone or went to the office long ago. AND what is she going to tell on.... that you smoked 2 yrs ago.. confusedFrustr8 reacted to this -
So I have tachycardia. Had it for years. A cardiologist told me to meditate. My dr.s staff called today and said they have to delay surgery due to my cardiology dr says I smoke. I happily quit 2 years ago. My dr's appt scheduler basically called me a liar and said I need a nicotine test. I asked her to look at the dates and she realized the report is 2 years old. So frustrated. She said she would email me paperwork for surgery on the 1st, but didn't
I feel like she is going to "tell" on me to dr. Uugg

I am in San Antonio, cash price for bypass is 10.5k for hospital 5k for dr
Not sure how much I will pay anesthesia. I did have a endoscopy "paid" for by insurance. I paid facility 1.4k. I'm figuring it is still cheaper than a new car and I will love it a lot longer!

Just got back, I ate Protein. Delicious shrimp, and ceviche. I did drink, but I had vodka and Water with a splash of cran or a bloody mary. I didn't gain and really enjoyed what I ate.
