Just wondering if anyone has ever had the same thing. For the past 2 days my cheeks have been burning red, it is very uncomfortable and am not sure what is causing it. No allergies, and my first thought is a LEAK!! other then the burning I do have a headache but otherwise feel physically fine, any ideas?

Windburn, sunburn, rosacea (adult acne). I don't think a leak would affect your face unless you have a fever. Just redness, no flakes, no bumpiness, no other signs of rash? Is it you whole face or just the cheek area? I tend to call the doctor for everything, so I would be on the phone. Let us know what you discover.

Its just the cheeks, I do have some flaking but nothing unusual. I tend to get really freaked out over anything that might be a sign of a leak. I will be picking up a themometer after work to check my temp. Will let you know if I find anything out.

When I had an allergic reaction to codine...my cheeks were bright red with sploches.

For about a week after my surgery my cheeks would get extremely flushed. To the point where people would ask me if I was ok. I asked the doc about it and they said it was probably from the blood thinner they had given me. After about a week or so it did go away.

Since surgery I am having a hard time regulating my body temp, I am either freezing cold or burning up. Mostly my face has been so hot! I thought it was related to the blood thinners I was on for the first 10 days post op, but thats been done with since Saturday. Just something to get used to :)

      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.
