Good. So do you have to keep it covered? You don't have a fever so you? Thanks for updating us.

My coworker took his wife to Mexico for liposuction and Tummy Tuck. She got a bad infection and went to her local hospital and they took great care of her. Don't be afraid​ or ashamed to contact your doctor or go to your local hospital. It's your health that's important.

I don't have a fever or anything, he told me to keep it dry and covered.

I thought I remembered you posting that you were from Texas, so am I. I'm glad you contacted the your surgeon. I pray for healing. Keep us posted.

I'm so glad you've got good care! Thanks for the update. You already know to keep an eye on it if it gets worse or you develop a fever.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery!

I am so relieved you contacted your doc! That wound looked really angry and dangerous. Hopefully you are on the mend now!

Omg, go to the ER now. don't play around with an infection that looks like that. I was sleeved on 6/19 and I'm still a bit tender and my glue sutures are almost all off, and a tiny bit raw after the scab fell off, I just put some silver cream on it. but nothing like you. You need to see a Dr. I can't believe your dr will wait so long to actually see you. No Bueno. Find another Dr. and get your self to the ER ASAP. I don't know why you are sitting around waiting... just GO!!!

Update- 7 days of cephalexin every 8 hours. No fever and keeping them covered for now!

And yes I am from Canada, but our ERs are still a nightmare. The Dr. Visits are covered but for me the medications are out of pocket. Hopefully these will do the trick though, appreciate everyone's concern. All spots generally feel ok at the moment, one is even a bit itchy (taking that as a good sign of healing)

will update in a few days again

thanks everyone

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
