Just checking if anyone has experienced tiny sweat bubble/blister things. I started seeing them a few months after surgery and seemed to happen whenever I worked out since I sweat during that time. Now I'm 11 months out and it's getting warmer so any time I sweat I notice these tiny little Water blisters. It doesn't hurt or anything and once I shower it's gone but just checking if anyone else has experienced the same? The doc said it's probably because the loose skin and sweat...

Yes, I'm looking at this year ahead to learn all I possibly can to prepare for this life-change. Mahalo for the words of encouragement!

Aloha everyone! So I'm a newbie here and I truly have enjoyed reading posts and getting fabulous info. So for me, I haven't had surgery yet, in fact I am still going through my classes with Kaiser. I have no clue as to surgery dates as I haven't even been presented to the surgeons yet. 5/29 is my final classes then presentation to surgeons in June. However, I was told that here in Hawaii there is such a huge waiting list that I would have to wait until next March for surgery. With me being a teacher, summer surgery is my best option....SO that like over a year to wait until surgery...now that's a major bummer!!! Any thoughts? Words of advice?

I have Kaiser and they are the ones telling me about the long wait...blah! Still looking to the positive though, trying to learn as much as I can...

So any educators out there? I'm new here and the posts seem a little dated so just checking in...

Not sure if you are still on this forum, BUT I'm from Hawaii...where u from?

I have Kaiser hawaii, I started my process in January, my last class before being presented to the surgeons in at the end of this month. However the waiting list for surgery is really long, so myself and the others in my class won't be able to be scheduled for surgery until next March.
