Welt Near One of My Scars

[bballmom 0]

I have a welt near one of my scars. I had my surgery on Jan. 20 - anyone know why I would get a welt near my scar now?:thumbup:

What kind of welt? If you are sure it is related to your surgery, call your doc. Are you sure you don't just have a bug bite, or didn't scratch it or something?

It is right at the end of my middle scar and it looks like a bug bite. I got it during the same time period that I ate something that I shouldn't have. I am paranoid I guess. I don't feel any restriction and I am hungry alot. I ate a little salad and a piece of pizza tonight. Will the pizza hurt me?

You're on solids now, right? pizza may not be a "diet" choice but it's a "human" one. Unless you're allergic to it or for some reason your doc still has you on mushies, you'll be fine! The "welt" is probably just a coincidence or a bug bite; just keep an eye on it! (treat it as you would a bug bite, assuming your surgical incisions are healing well as they should be at almost 3 months! )

Don't feel guilty!

yes, they've all healed well. I know the pizza wasn't a good diet choice. It's the first time I have done that and I feel really bad about it.

You're still operating with a "diet" mentality! It's just food. I personally know "skinny" people who eat pizza, cupcakes, burgers...just occasionally, not daily! Like I said; don't feel guilty, it's just a waste. You'll have "splurges" from time to time. The band is for life, not for a while! You have to be able to cut loose sometimes.
