My first fill is scheduled for tomorrow! YAY!! When I got home Friday I had a message on my answering machine to remind me (like I could possibly forget this appointment) and telling me to call and reschedule if I was sick, had a cold, rash, or open sores. I have none of the above but I do have 3 small scabs right along the incisions (5), I e-mailed my doc's nurse (whom I absolutely adore) to make sure this wasn't an issue today and she said it might be, to come on in anyway but not to be too disappointed if he wouldn't do the fill until they were totally gone. So now, I'm ANXIOUS...they don't look infected, they aren't red or draining or anything and are fairly small (the width of the incision and at the longest 1/2 inch long), but can't be picked off, lord knows I tried! Anyone ever had issues with this? Due to scheduling issues at work I won't be able to make it back to the surgeon's office for 2 weeks if they cancel me...The thought of 2 more weeks without a fill...OY! Keep your fingers crossed!!!:smile2:

Open sores involve goo. You're fine.

Open sores would not have scabs. As long as there is no infection underneath, you should be fine. Good luck with your fill!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
