Recommended Posts

okay why do these things alwasy hapen to me?

im 4 days pre-op and iv developed a small little rash patch in the center of my chest, about one inch below my breasts - which is where an incision is made (right?).

scheduled to see my surgeon 1 day before surgery to determine if the surgery can go on....

this is beyond frustrating and anxiety inducing.

anyone have a similar experience or advice?

Has the rash developed any further? Is it an itchy rash?

Only thing I can say are to try some diphenhydramine/hydrocortisone cream and call your Dr to see if it makes a difference. They would be the best source of information, and I do have one scar from the trocar about 1-2 inches below my sternum, the others are WAY lower than that one.

doc doesnt want me to use any creams until he sees me and can decide if surgery is still an option, in which case he wouldn want be to use anything.

tmrw at 8 am i shall know....

      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
