Well after a few days I have a bad rash and can not get it to go away even with Benadryl it will not go away ugh!! Anyone else break out?

Did you figure out what’s causing it?? Looks like a medication reaction....I’d call your doctors office

the straight lines to the left tell me this is some kind of contact dermatitis..are you using a heating pad? changed your detergent? wearing new clothes or underwear? sitting next to an animal your allergic to?

Great news!

Anyone else get really nauseous on their first day of the liquid diet? I’m only 6 hours in and had my first protein drink and oh my.

I was, I didn’t get any protein drink. They gave me broth with powder in it, and the smell alone made me so nauseous. It will pass. Ask them for the 3 day patch. It worked very well on me

My surgery is tomorrow; I'm first on the surgery list. Starting to get a tad wee bit nervous. More nervous, lol.

It'll be easier than you realize now. And once they put you out it's very easy. It takes courage to take this step to extend your life. Wishing you the best. You've got this!

I was very nervous but these surgeons do like 4 of these a day. You’ll be fine. Sending prayers your way

Good Luck today Jon!! You got this!! ☺️ I was fine until I walked into the OR then the tears started. But once I laid on the table, I was out and really don’t remember until I was in my room that afternoon. It honestly was not awesome the first day or two, but 9 days post op and I’m feeling more normal everyday. Back to normal life already. I don’t regret it, nor will you!! See you on the losers bench!!!
