Wow, not sure what it can be but if you have some sort of spots sounds like you have some sort of illness. I would definitely go to the doctors today, it could be measles at worst or chicken pox. Best wishes.

Your body has been through a big stress--you could just have a case of the hives. I've been known to break out in those when my defenses are low. Probably best to call up your PCP and have them look at your spots and order a blood draw.

Is it possible your just sick? its pretty delayed, thats the reason I think that. I would go to the doctor anyway but I', inclined to think you have the flu or something.

Shingles? On top of recovery it could make you pretty miserable :(

^^ the shingles could be very possible. My mom had it a couple of years ago and the symptoms you are describing sound very similar to onset of symptoms she had (was one of those "what the hell is this?" only to find out her symptoms were textbook) I hope you don't have to endure that...it is quite painful :-(

I would go to the hospital. You may be dehydrated so even getting an iv could help.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
