October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves

[imworthit 156]

Prednisone delays healing because it suppresses immune system that helps inflamatory process needed to kick start healing. It won't absolutely stop your surgery. It's really up to the surgeon. Did they figure out what the rash from? I'll be praying for a good outcome.

I think it's from my detergent I just switched to gain and that stuff is STRONG! Im going to try to get into a dermatologist tomorrow an then possibly a allergist but I'm ugh this is so not what I needed

We are all going to be GREAT!!!!! I'm going to be checking in to the hospital at 12:30p.m. PST. I am a nervous wreck and keep packing and unpacking and I'm most hysterical about being away from my dogs! I'm not married, I don't have kids, I live alone so they ARE my kids. I'm going to my mom's directly from the hospital and won't probably see them for at least a week. I guess I'm projecting. Ugg.

My "biggest" incision

Oops! Hit the send button too fast! Just wanted to give everyone an idea of what the scars look like. I will be 2 weeks post op ok Tuesday. The first picture is of my largest incision (where I believe they took my stomach out of) and the 2nd is of my overall abdominal area. I do plan on using scar cream..although from the looks of it I may not need it

Good luck to all 10/15 sleevers! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Safe and speedy recoveries to all of you.

10/16ers: we are up next !!! I took today as a vacation day so I could hold my little one before I won't be able to post op. Still have to pack, do last minute shopping for post op broths, Jello, ice pops, my prescriptions, and finish up the laundry. Not nervous ...yet.
