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 ...?

Ive been real cold also....my missus a block of ice...lol

I was cold each time I came home from the hospital but it got better after a few days.

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.

Sorry you have to go through that. Hang in there it will get better.

Thanks. One day at a time

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.

Wow so sorry for that. I had surgery once and had wound care like that that was so painful getting packed daily.

But through all of this have you lost anything???

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.

I' be been freezing since surgery!

I wouldnt have a blockage if i had 2 small bm,s in 9 days right?

Yah almost 30 lbs

So I weighed myself this morning, and didn't believe the scale, so I stepped on it again. I really can't believe it. I was sleeved on 1/29 and weighed in at 311.2 and this morning my scale says 277.8....wow is all I can say.

My cloths finally feel good on me, they breath. So far so good just taking it slow and trying to take my protein in.

Congrats to everyone!!!!!

I was always hot. Now I find myself cold more often. I thought it was just me... What is up with that?

I'm also always cold.

I am cold also....my nose feels like a block of ice...lol

Ok...I'm hungry...starving a little....sooooo I chewed a piece of baked chicken about 30 times and swallowed....nothing happened. My sleeve accepted it very well. I am 9 days postop, but so know that I didn't eat another piece...Ughhh

Don't feel guilty I did the same thing with fish not bc I was hungry. Its mental for me. I don't feel hungry anymore my stomach just makes weird noises or moves a lot. I am 24 days out from surgery and I cannot get protein in to save my life the shakes make me gag...long story...but you will know if you have over done it you feel it in your chest.
