Sorry you are going thru this. You have no choice but to be as strong as you can as you recover. Take help where you can and go to the ER if you're going downhill, you have to be your own strongest advocate, no wonder you were in so much pain!!!

I am being admitted right now. My infection is spreading and my skin is making its own holes. The Dr wants to scan my belly and possibly put me under and clean everything out.

I'm going in for a ct scan soon. They are going to see how bad the infection is. I was find out if I have to have surgery to remove it.

Deep tissue is clear, I'm on antibiotics, antifungal and back on pain meds. The button that I can press every 6 mins. It's morphine.

I am at Maryview hospital Portsmouth VA. Also where I had it done.

I'm just in the rare group that this happens to. I haven't had a good day since surgery 1-6. Hopefully once this clears up no more issues.

These show how bad they had gotten. On one the skin hadn't come off yet and the small purple circles with stuff in them ended up being holes after my skin peeled.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
