Ok guys you asked for it...

It looks awful on pictures and in real life. I always thought that after my surgery and weight loss I'll feel more confident at the pool, beach, Water park etc. Meanwhile with this bulge I feel much worse now. I'm embarrassed to go with a bathing suit in public. That's why I'm opting for another procedure.

Mine bulges but not that much. Yes I hope they can fix it for you because we deserve to feel GREAT about our weight loss and no longer feel anything but pride in ourselves. That said, it's not "gross" at all. Thanks for sharing it.

Oh ok it looks like the port might have just flipped or turned ,so HOPEFULLY it won't be to bad & you can begin your journey again & move further along ,the one I was talking about was oozing out stuff & they had to pack it & it still looked infected & the belly button was inverted deep down, so HOPEFULLY it goes good , good luck keep us updated & informed.

If not for the hair everywhere I think I remember seeing that same shot on my first girlfriend :P :rolleyes:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
