    I had the same problem with one of mine and it looked like that and was pussy and my DR said to just put gauze on it and it will heal on its own which it did. I would not worry too much Im almost 6 months out and the one that I had an issue with healed just fine. Its just a little scary knowing its an open wound..

    Birth control and surgery

    cdenney123 replied to mrshopeful's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was on the pill, but they told me I had to stop the month before and 3 months out because of blood clots. I now use the ring Im not sure if it has the same stuff as the pill but that could be an option or IUD. But regardless its a 3 months out rule for birth control.

    Nicotine Level Test

    cdenney123 replied to ajones3300's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

    So odd I never had to take a nicotine test.. But I did not have to take a lot of test people talk about suck as a leak test. I think all Drs are different on what they test for. But its best you stop anyway because it does effect your recovery

    Welcome to the BariatricPal Singles Forum!

    cdenney123 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Singles Forum

    I do like this idea since dating is already hard enough then throw the WLS in the mix its pretty much impossible. I really have a hard time telling anyone that I even had it done.
  8. cdenney123
    I would have liked to have had it done 10 years ago as I was struggling to lose weight and tried it all from exercise to weight watchers to diet pills. But, timing is everything and there is a reason why now and not then.

    How long did your hair fall out?

    cdenney123 replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Mine just started falling out about 4 months out its been about 3 weeks of when I play with my hair, comb it or even just look at my shirt I see my hair falling out. I already have thin hair so its concerning, but I knew this could be a side effect.
  10. cdenney123
    It did for me I got the records that I have been on it for 5+ years on and off and my insurance accepted it with no diet that was required for 6 months.
  11. cdenney123
    Im 3 months out and I have the same issue,, I can eat solids but I prefer mushy foods and Protein shakes. Its really hard for me to eat and not drink.. I need Water so I think that is my problem on why its not comfortable for me.
  12. cdenney123
    I had to wait 7 months. The approval takes awhile and that was with no diet restrictions like some people have for 6 months.! Take care

    Psych appointment

    cdenney123 replied to brr's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

    The main concern my Psych really centered around was family support and who would take care of me. I have a history of dieting and weight watchers so I think they do want to hear that you have tried before this is the last option.

    Eating pizza after VSG

    cdenney123 replied to xraymomma's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I just eat the toppings as well and only 1 slice. the crust goes in the trash and its usually the works so its veggies and meats. I only eat 2 bites anyway so the calories are not that high for me a day.. I need to actually get more in as Im at 500 a day usually
  15. cdenney123

    Birth control

    cdenney123 replied to Aribay1's topic in The Gals' Room

    Great question I tried to get a iud but my body rejected it. And I am afraid of the pill again since I have been off for so long I don't want all the hormones again. Anyone try the ring thing?
  17. cdenney123
    I had a 36 BMI and was denied. I have always had a weight issue and I was tired of struggling with the up 50 and down 50. I did not have any other health issues, but I knew I needed help. I did gain a little more to qualify and it was worth it, now I have all the self control in the world and can just eat 1 chip or a bite of something. Dont give up it will happen it took me 6+ months to get it all taken care of.

    eleven weeks post op need help eating

    cdenney123 replied to Bigdog56's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions

    That is a lot I'm 11 weeks out and 45 pounds down. I struggle with eating because nothing sounds good and I can only eat 2 bites of anything. I do find soups are the easiest for me to eat along with protein shakes. Congrats on all the weight loss.

    Taking a bath?

    cdenney123 replied to fab_not_fat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I waited till my 2 month mark and missed them so much.. I just had another procedure and cant take them for another week... also with the weightloss I have had its so nice to get in and out with no extra pressure and struggle getting out.

    What do you drink when you go out?

    cdenney123 replied to Kaitlin 1013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I used to drink wine now I will have vodka with Crystal Light at home or order a skinny Margarita at the bar. Nothing too much because I want to eat as well.. Its a hard balance when going to happy hour I have to decide if I want to drink or eat.. cant do both anymore...

    cdenney123 replied to sharie24's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I have had cravings for a nice cobb salad but scared on how that will digest. Salad is roughage and I dont need anyother issues Im having issues just eating and not getting sick... Im fine with Soup and mushy stuff its the chicken, turkey, cheese anything I have to chew does not work well. Its annoying

    Feeding Your Family while you can't eat?

    cdenney123 replied to Malibucruzer's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I cook for my daughter and what I do is eat my little meal first which is Soup or something small then make her dinner. Honestly you cant eat much anyway so even if you took a bite or 2 you will be full. I can only eat 2 tablespoons of anything then stuffed. So no temptation at all
