Hey all! I'm new around these parts

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

There is a site I found "bizrate" they have a number of different types of chewable protein tablets. I think I may order some as I'm having some difficulty drinking the protein drinks.

Has anyone noticed a jump in their body tempeture? I've notice at night my body temp goes up by 2 degrees for no reason.

Ok ok ok ...guess wut I did....I went to the movies to get myself out the house. I ordered a small popcorn and I chewed it up...sucked the juice...and spit it out...I did a whole lot of popcorn like that. My new sleeve didn't even react. She jus sat there and enjoyed the juices....like I said, she is very temperamental...lol....I won't do it again, but I couldn't resist it...ughhh

Asifitsthelast....Omg!!!! What happend?? Sorry if u already posted what i happend i guess i missed it. I hope you are healing good from that

Infection in the incision that the stomach is removed through. It has to heal open so it has to be repacked twice a day. It got worse so I had to go back to the hospital on continuous iv antibiotics. A nurse comes now twice a day for a short period of time. The hole was 3" deep it is now 2.5 sad part is all my other incisions are healed.

asifitsthelast OMG - what happened to you... that looks horrible!! I hope you have gone to the doctor - I hope you are on the mend!

I haven't been on this since the hospital. And I've been scrolling through and I see my sn a few times lol. I'm home from the hospital with an open hole due to infection. I will say so far this has been a horrible experience. I hope the end result is worth it. I will eventually update my profile when I have the patience! I have a lot I want put on here I have all my pricing ing thank god for insurance lol.

Ok so I hope I don't gross anyone out this pic was taken 2-2 in the hospital. I have now lost all modesty and nothing grosses me out lol.

For the record this is not commen. This is the incision my stomach was removed through. It's an infection caused by that. A very small percentage get this.

I had extreme pain constantly from day one. I had a one week follow up and I was told I looked fine. I was like how am I fine??? I see people up and ready to go in a week. 4 days later I step into the shower and stuff started shooting out of my incision. My belly truly looked ok at the drs visit.
