Yes so hateful that i told her that its obvious that needed medical attention people always come on here with stuff like this and it ends up going back and fourth of " no im fine i dont need any help" it was not hatefull what so ever, she sutured herself like she is a cow, i dont even think doctors who can do surgery just decide to sort it themselves, she put her self in further risk of issues herself. You go through these drastic measures to then cut corners? I said that this is clearly infected and can not be treated on its own, and shutting in the infection her self was a bad idea.

I am not hateful whats so ever. If someone wants to be dramatic that is their problem this is a public forum.

Look how bad it looks and her concern is keeping the piercing from closing up? anyones first instinct would be to take it out, and focus on the infection. I am not coming back to this post easier. But if i had something to hide i would not have put " edit-" I said nothing hurtful. I was honest. simple. and i do not want anyone else seeing this post thinkng " im a vet so i am now qualified to treat myself" As you can see i have not replied to her as she is just being dramatic. Bye , I wont be coming back to this post either.

Nice edit dreamingsmall, maybe you should take your 'hate of people like me' and beg off. So much for a positive community here. I don't have the luxury of being hypochondriac or a tit but that's for your negative remarks. You may have edited them but I still got to read the original from the email notification. I think this will be my last post on here. To everyone that tried to convince me that I was basically going to die, I'm happy to report I'm just fine. To everyone else that was supportive, I thank you and wish you the best on your journey.

Hypocondriac? LOL I am a hypochondriac for saying thats obvs an infection lol . mkay. " people that were trying to convince me i was going to die" your so disrespectful and rude, those people who were worried we trying to help . wow. i wont be on your post again.

Ah I guess if that's all you posted why did you feel the need to edit?

I do think if someone comes asking for advice and then doesn't want to hear it it's a bit odd. But sadly common.

what does the piercing have to do with anything, seriously?

What do you think magically happens when humans are sutured? It's the same instruments, the same suture, the same suture patterns! Do you think it's somehow special when it's done to people?

We even use some of the same drugs, because sometimes that's the best treatment for certain types of bacteria. Hence why I received a 2nd prescription for Cephalexin.

Yes, because anyone that has completed as much medical schooling as a human Doctor has, needs someone like you dictating their actions in regards to a wound.

dreamingsmall please don't comment on my stuff again.

I will gladly delete this post if someone can tell me how because I can't seem to find where or how to do so...

LOL The questioning is almost funny, dude its not that serious, I edited because I read through the post after and many peopele had already said she isnt a cow lol and shouldnt be sutering her self blabla , i realised its just one of those dramatic posts were they come back and say " your all wrong i did the right thing im fine" i had thought she wanted genuine help but thought f** it theres no point on this post, its really that simple lol take it or leave it . its quite obvious most people who posted wasted their time by her responce, but please dont quote me as id rathernot get notifications from this post. but unless you see someones post maybe dont jump in lol

Stop being silly, you sutured yourself when you had an infection lol this is getting dumb. There are many different methods actually as many people pointed out, obvcourse everyone else is wrong and you are right. Brilliant. Dont bother deleting your post keep it here lol have fun. Dictating their actions for a wound, why did you post if you didnt need any advice on the wound ? you high? You had it all sorted but still posted like you needed help , as i thought for attention. lol bye.

Ladies, that does not look normal and if a doctor tells you its normal he should have his license revoked. That is just my opinion.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
