Praying all goes well and you have an uneventful recovery! We'll be waiting for you on the losers bench!!!

OUCH!! Why didn't your doctor numb it first? That's crazy! Being in pain and having an infection is no fun. I hope you're back on the mend and feeling better soon!

Thank u Maria she said oh u won't even feel it just relief from the pressure. Uh no i felt it and she finally numbed it. Im feeling alot better today pain wise now the nausea seems to be kicking in probably because of the strong antibiotic ;)

Glad you're feeling better today. If it makes you feel any better, I've been nauseous the past two days too. Maybe for a different reason, but you're not alone!! Finally starting to get my shoulder pain under control and now nausea. Blah!!

Hey guys I just got my date sep 24th also my birthday glad to join yall

Yeah! Congrats!! Welcome to the group!!! Less than a week to go. What a great birthday present.

I got a call from the hospital nurse, good news i will be the first case of the day and go to the bariatric surgical floor. I am waiting on the "clearance " letter from the infectious disease doc. I specified the language i needed and he agreed to write it up with provisions for if i am positive or negative on the repeat swabs. I called the office and the surgical coordinator is calling me back after she talks to the doc.

Back from the doctors visit in so much pain :( like I suspected I have an infection and she had to re open my incision without numbing it 1st to drain it!!! I thought I was going to pass out!!

Ouch that must have been SO painful! I wish you a speedy recovery
