I've been hurting on the left side incision. I have a large lump that's red. Well it's got infection. Got an antibiotic and if not significantly better by Friday I have to get it lanced. Sigh...... If I have to have a complication I'll take this one.

Other than that all was great. I can now have purée. Yeah

The best part I lost 24 pounds.

323 now 299.

Sorry to hear about the infection... Yuck! Hope it clears up and the antibiotics do the trick. Congrats on your weight loss so far, great job!

I too had an infection in the left incision where my drain was. I ha to have it lanced and I have to pack it with gauze twice a day until its healed. Hopefully you don't have to go through that but it's honestly not too terrible. I would do it all again in a heartbeat if I had to :) good luck.

Kayla when did they find that?. I had RNY 6/19/12. They saw it in hosp but thought it should go away. Also how are you feeling. I'm still sore on the left. Can't sleep on that side. But otherwise doing great.

I went home and after 2 days of being home my lap site was hurting real bad and started getting a red ring around it that just kept getting bigger. I came home on a sat and by Tuesday I could barely get up without crying. I was dizzy and couldn't keep fluids in me do I went to the ER where I was re admitted and given IV antibiotics for 2 days. They left my incision open after cutting it open and I have to pack it with gauze 2x a day.

They never closed my drain site I've been packing it once a day since my surgery 3 weeks ago. Seems like it will never heal.

Wow you've been thru a lot. Glad your feeling good now. How long do you have to keep packing your incision? Really hope I don't have to do that.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
