i am getting my sleeve on wednesday! i went back and forth on weight loss surgery..alot has happened in the last 5 years but i finally decided..this is it!

i've been seeing my surgeon for the last 6 months, and im so nervous and excited at the same time. BUT friday..i got a small rash on my face. which is odd because i wash my face twice a day and always have clear skin. well....this rash turned into impetigo! and now im scared that this will derail my surgery.

its not contagious after tonight...but this is killing me. if my surgeon changes my date again ( the original date was may 5th but it got moved up to april 30th) i would be beside myself.

WOW! What a journey this has been for you! How is the rash now? I am sure all will go swimmingly. Talk to your doc. and keep the faith! You are ready for this!
