SMH. At least they're on top of it now. Praying that you are given the correct antibiotics now so that you can heal, resume your meds, and pool activities. Best wishes, friend.
Best wishes, friend. You'll do great!
I'm giggling that "penis badge" is hyperlinked. Tee hee.
I can't make your incisions heal any quicker, but I can try to distract you. I had a female patient today whose mouth looked like a piranha. She had itty bitty little spike-y teeth. Meth is a...
When my sister was pregnant she developed hemorrhoids. She used to keep Tucks Pads in the freezer (.....gross....) and swore that the chilly temperature of the pads helped tremendously to calm down...
Jessica, it sounds like you are definitely well prepared. I had my plastics in the summertime, so my husband had less obligations. The freezer meals are a great idea and all of the other nesting...
You can lead a horse to water......
Be supportive by stepping back and concentrating on your own journey. You can be a great example and role model for her, and sometimes that's better than any...
Brook, I'm so happy to see this wonderful update from you. 115 lbs is awesome, with a side of awesome; congratulations!! =)
Little Verbena just went through the surgery you're facing, although her VSG was quite some time ago. Perhaps you can message her and get some feedback and inspiration regarding your complications...
We learn something new every day. Sometimes infections tunnel and abscess instead of looking like your beautifully stated analogy!

I don't have any advice about MX but I have had plastics (tt and breast lift without implants). I was in surgery near 6 hours and it was done under general anesthesia; I spent one night at the...
Hey, Terrora (Terrie) on here has 20+ years as a wound care RN. Perhaps she can give you some great feedback about this. I'm already irritated that the wounds were just now cultured, especially with...
Welcome to our little family. I hope you find this place inspirational and informative. Read as many posts as you can and the search feature is also available. Please ask for any help you may need...
Good luck to all the ladies with upcoming plastics! I'm so excited for all of you.
@Char, I'll post them if you let me add some chest hair. =)
Popcorn on deck.
@Leanng, send me your email address and I'll send you my boobs! I had an auto-augmentation breast lift. Plastic surgery is all about trading one set of flaws (loose skin, stretch marks and cellulite)...
@Scoobie61, you are absolutely right and that rule does apply for most people; however, Kristen started with a lower BMI and that makes a huge difference. Loose skin will be quite different for...
Amazing! Congratulations and thank you for sharing! Your pics are definitely an inspiration!
Sounds like good ole' fashioned reflux / GERD.
Welcome! Which branch of the military and where are y'all stationed currently? My husband just retired after 23 years of active duty in the Army. It's nice to meet you. =)
Wendy, what an amazing adventure. Y'all (you, Ann and a couple of others) have made me put New Zealand on my bucket list! I wanna go (in my whiny voice).
Btw, we want to see those bikini pics!
Oh, ok! My bad.
I have no advice; I just wanted to say that.
Please don't be offended by this question because that is not my intent. I looked at your ticker goal of 108 lbs and I'm wondering how you realistically expected to look at such a low weight? If you...
