Omg I Hope My Surgery Wont B Rescheduled!



Recommended Posts

Okkk so my surgery is 8/15 this Wednesday but I woke up with a rash or bite of some kind and I scheduled a doctors appointment for tomorrow, the last thing I wanna hear is we r gonna reschedule ur surgery!!

It's really itchy and it sorta tingels and burns and it sorta swollen hard like when u get bit by a mosquito ... Any ideas what it might be? Or if you think they will reschedule??

I attached photos please excuse my nasty cellulite .... It's on my inner thighs!!

Sorry kinda graphic!!

The bullseye (2nd pic) reminds me of a spider or tick bite. Don't know about the others, if they don't go away see a dermatologist. A lot of times the primary care docs just say rub some hydrocortisone on it if it doesn't look infected.

This is gross but they are these bugs that bite and feed on you!!! I had them in the same exact spot. The only thing you can do is try to control the itch with benadryl and cortisone cream.

Each pic looks like something different. The bullseye one looks to me like a spider or tick bite. The 1st one looks like a boil forming and the last one looks like just a simple dermatitis. All can itch. Definitely see your MD about it though. Hope it's nothing that will postpone your surgery tomorrow.

      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.
