Me! I'm in the ER because my steri strips are lifting that covers my port. So I freaked out because the incision is opening just a little. So they are putting new steri strips on & sending me on my way. Lol!

I LOVE your title to this!! Opening incisions can be scary though. About 4 hours after I had my gallbladder removed, I came home and threw up. All of the sudden, walking out of the bathroom, I realized my shirt was wet. Looked down, blood EVERYWHERE! One of the incisions opened and I nearly screamed. My husband noticed right when I did and calmly got gauze so I could hold pressure and put a call into my surgeon. I was SO groggy, the surgeon said to hold constant pressure for 10 minutes, I kept falling asleep! He had to hold his hand over mine to keep it in place. If I would have been more alert, I probably could have been competition for you're Emmy category :)

Hope they get you all patched up and on your way soon!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
