I had my surgery on December 8th in Florida. Everything is feeling good. I have little restriction but I am doing really well with sticking to the diet. I live in the Virgin Islands so I fly up to to Florida for all my appointments and the surgery. I had my 1 week post op appointment and everything was fine. I fly up again on the 9th for an upper GI and my first fill. What is making me nervous is I have gotten a rash around all my incision sites including the port site. I am worried I will fly up there and he will not do the fill because of the rash around the site. Has anyone had this happen? I believe the rash is an allergic reaction to something. I went to the doctor here where I live and they said the rash is flaming up around the incisions because it is weaker skin. I REALLY want my fill!! And I can not afford to fly up for nothing!!

Hope all my fellow december bandsters are doing well!

did you call your surgeon?

did you call your surgeon?

No not yet. I was hoping it will go away. The skin is not broken just red and bumpy. I will call tomorrow. I am nervous.

Sorry- have nothing to add other than I am so jealous that you live in the Virgin Islands. Can I come visit?

I just sent the Surgen's office an email with a picture of the rash asking what i should do.

My husband and I have lived here since 2003, to rub it in a little more we live on a boat! A big part of the reason I wanted to get the weight off. Moving around the boat was getting more difficult!

Come visit any time!! Cruise ship come here almost everyday!
