Come join us on the "September Members" thread. So far there are 27 of us! Gonna be a life changing month... Yippie!!! Jessica

I was wondering if anyone out there has experienced this? I work in healthcare and have had abscess(plural) that had to be lanced. I had a nasal culture on Sept 5. As far as I know it was negative but the nurse didn't swab far enough back in my opinion. Well, the other morning I discovered an abscess under my left arm!!! Worried about surgery, I read up on decolonization therapy and have started Mupirocin intranasal and Hibiclens when I shower. I'm hoping that works!!! Jessica

Sorry about the nasal swab thing. I had one and it was negative and I had a place come up in my left armpit. I am sure the nurse didn't do the swab right. Like I said, I've been doing mupricon intranasal and hibiclens also. The hospital I'm having surgery at is notorious for MRSA. Keep me posted on everything... I feel your pain! Jessica

Isla, sorry to hear about everything that happened to you. At least you had an experienced surgeon and he knew enough to call it quits! Your time will come.... With everything, there is purpose! You are still in our prayers. You are actually the first person that I have talked to that this has happened to. Life is very fragile... Jessica

Good luck riverbuff... Mark! You end this week of surgeries. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the doctors and nurses. Keep us posted when you can. Jessica

Just needed to vent. I am on a ten day liquid diet, surgery is Sept 19. The mind games have begun. I really miss food. I keep thinking... Will I ever be able to enjoy food again??? Will I ever feel full and satisfied??? Do I really want to do this??? I know it's mind over matter at this point. That doesn't make it any easier. I missed work today. Woke up and I was dizzy and lightheaded. Took my meds and realized that I forgot my blood pressure meds yesterday. So today was like a double whammy! Uhgggg! Please tell me it gets better... Jessica

Thanks everyone!!! Jessica

I know the feeling... I have been experimenting with different things(I'm still pre-op for another week.) One of mine is horrid!!! Can't find anything that cuts the taste. Let me know if you find something that works. My bad one is effexor. Jessica

Congratulations... We'll have to add you to our list! Welcome aboard! Jessica

Wow.... You look amazing. Your surgical sites look great! The pictures really help put it in perspective, THANKS! Jessica

Thanks... If we can get through this, surgery should be a snap! Every doctor is so different. It doesn't make sense. Some don't have a pre-op diet at all, some can eat a little, some are longer and some are shorter! You would think there would be a bariatric standard for this....IDK... Jessica

Where in TN? I live in East TN. I grew up in NYC. Moved to TN in 89. Jessica

Where do you live? Jessica

Been on a liquid diet since Sunday. Not feeling too bad. I honestly didn't think I would make it this long...lol Jessica

I'm on day 3... It's not been as bad as I thought it would be. I can have 3 servings of dairy a day and 2 high Protein supplements(liquid)... Jessica

SOOOOOO excited for you! Thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep us posted! Jessica
