Well The green is gone.. woohoo... but I dont know when or if it will ever come back. I went to see the wound specialist today and thought maybe I should go see the Dr. at the wound clinic but she called in the Dr. ..... Dr..... hehe and he said that they will take good care of me, and that right on they are more worried about infection then anything else. I did ask why it looked like the outside was closing faster then the inside... He said "Well it hasnt closed, and if it does you need to come in right away and we will re open the outside wound back up"

So I think I am in good hands, The wound doesnt look great but, at lest it is not full of pus and I am not running fever all the time. I think thats the main thing the Dr. was worried about. So No matter how bad I think it looks, my Dr. will think it looks better, as long as its not infected or ozzing pus.

I guess I feel good about it all, its harder when its your own body and you see all the changes in it.

Well thats my update just case anyone was wondering.

Thank you all for everything and all your support!!!!

WOW Trish, I didn't realize you had this going on. Why do they think you got the infection? It sounds like it is separate from the leak.

OMGosh I'm SO SO SORRY!!!

Keep me posted please.

I'll keep you in my prayers

Glad to hear from ya Trish. I've been wondering how things were going with you. Your doctor sounds right on. I hope it heals quickly. I dealt with a 2nd degree burn for a couple of months, no where near the ordeal you're going through and I know how awful it was! *hugs*

Keep us posted.

You know once I get my band replaced, with everything I have been thourgh I will be one heck of a bandster LOL

Susan, 2nd degree burns are pretty bad too... As long as you are doing okay. I have posted my wound on here under "Green is Good?" thread if you have the stomach to see them.

I did see them. Kind of reminded me of the oozing green goo that I looked at for many days! I am doing ok now. I have a 7" X 1" scar on my tummy tho.

Have they given you any idea how long this will take to heal?

Hey Trish!

So its fairly good news. No puss - green stuff - fever. Thats something to smile about!

You poor girl. All of this and still a leaky band needing to be fixed, right?

I just thought about something, have you considered taking extra Vit. C. Im a believer that Vit C aids in healing. You can use the brand that Walmart sells, but if you have a Vitamin store near by, they may have a better brand (one that doesnt contain as much ascorbic acid). just a thought.

We gotta get you fixed up so we can start having some gran-kids around here. :eek:

Trish Girl you know I've been thinking about ha!!! Sure hope that hole heals up soon!! I can't wait to see you in action with that new band you got comin soon!! Keep on healing and don't let this all get you down.Be strong!!! I'm always here for you wishing you well!! ((((((HUGS)))))))
