Ugh' date=' I woke up this morning and both underarms are swollen and tender. I can see big lumps from my lymph glands. I called the surgeon and he said to get into my regular doctor. I don't have a high fever, just a slight one. I hope it's not from an infection or something. I go in at 9.[/quote']

Oh no! Definately sounds like an infection! Hope everything turns out ok!

Okay, UPDATE: I went in and it wasn't my lymph nodes. Shows how much I know! She thinks it's staph. GROSS. I'm on antibiotics and I have to use that hibiclens stuff again. If this is the only complication I get, that's fine. But still...it's SO SUPER PAINFUL!

I am totally freaked out by this oral suspension medicine. I know it has sugar. I know the doc was trying to be nice to my pouch...but I'm worried if I take this, I'll dump. I've got a call in to my doctor now. ugh.

Seen my surgeon today for 3 week post check up.

Might have to go to an infectious disease doctor.

So regret having this all done.

Oh no, why? I have big bumps under my arms they say is staph. What did you get?

I will be six weeks tomorrow. Just seen my surgeon for my six week check up and he is very happy with my results. Down 43.4 pounds so I'm averaging over 5 pounds a week since i started my two week pre op diet. No complications, no throwing up, nothing stuck and all food so far agrees with me knock wood.

I've lost 54 pounds since I've been doing this, but lost 31 since surgery.

Clostridium difficile.

I've been on one round of meds for it, this is my 2nd round. If it doesn't go away, I have to go see the specialist.

Also had another surgery 4 days after my rny to take my appendix out. It's been hell.
