Flabby Skin, and 24 lbs to go.
Is anyone else who has had the gastric bypass, with the sagging arms or bat wings? I am finding knots all over under the skin. They feel like fat deposits, but when I touch one, it will move, and there are times it's like the pressure of a boil. I just know that the insides of my arms and on the top of my thighs, several have popped up in the last 2-3 months. They cause my skin to bruise really bad. They look like I have been beaten up, kind of hard to do since I live alone, and there's no one in my life now. You can see the knots, I even have one on my shin bone that popped up 2 days ago.
With my having cancer, I didn't know if they were small cysts, small tumor, fat deposits.
I'm going to show them to my surgeon on Monday when he gets the biopsy reports back. Maybe he can do a needle aspiration and see what they are.
Much love to you, Kathy
Thank you Kym. That's very sweet of you. I plan on talking to my surgeon who is doing the biopsies. I see my PCP on Monday morning, then the surgeon in the afternoon. Just got home from seeing my GI Dr. don't have to go back unless needed. One down and multi more Dr.'s to go. I won't be home again until Sunday evening. I'll be heading towards Nashville either later this afternoon or first thing in the morning. Need to get the laundry going so I can pack a few things. I'll let you know about these knots when I know something, I figured they were fat cell deposits from the lose skin, but where some are it's not even flabby. OH Well, just need to get thru the next couple of weeks and I should be feeling better about a lot of things. This weekend is for my two sons, and grandson. My daughter-n-love is throwing both my sons and grandson surprise birthday parties. Scott turned 28 on the 21st. Phillip my oldest and married to my daughter-n-love turned 30 yesterday and their son turned 2 yesterday. Even the parents are coming down from West Virginia for the party. Hopefully I can manage to get thru the next couple of days without crying. The love of my life gave me a dear John letter yesterday. He thru my love and trust right back at me. Once you abuse my trust there is no going back. He lost, but I feel the battered one. That will teach me to not love or trust someone again for a long time to come.
May God travel with you on this journey, Love Kathy
Kathy, after everything else, I can't believe that John did that to you. He just doesn't know what he gave up. There is someone out there for everyone, I'm sure of it.
I haven't found the right guy yet, but I'm not giving up. I spent almost 20 years alone and I'm determined not to spend the rest of my life that way so I'll keep looking. And I know there is a possiblity that I could get hurt again but it's a chance I'm willing to take to find the love of my life.
What are your plans for tonight? Want to get dinner when you get into town?
Hi Toni, I would love to regarding tonight, but I'm in so much pain in my back with this weather, that I'm thinking of leaving early in the morning. Maybe tomorrow evening, or Sunday at lunch time. Let me know which would be better, my cell phone isn't working right now. I think it has something to do with they didn't like the amount I sent for my payment. Right now I am washing my clothes, and getting ready for a nap. Haven't been sleeping much over the past couple of days. All I've done is cried. But I would rather not discuss it at this time. I'm going to take a pain pill, go to bed, then once I get some rest, and my back isn't killing me, I may go ahead and leave tonight, but most likely it will be early in the morning. Do you want to meet for lunch tomorrow? Let me know where, I have to be at my sons home at 4pm for the surprise birthday party for both my sons and 2 yr grandson. Get back with me and let me know. Thank you, Toni, love ya, Kathy
Lets try and do lunch tomorrow. Will you be in Portland? I'm sorry I can't remember where you said the boys live. Anyway, I have to work tomorrow evening at 4pm so lunch would be perfect. I already have a full day planned for Sunday, I met a new guy and we've got the day pretty much booked. He's going to pick me up for breakfast then we're going to the flea market at the fairgrounds in Nashville. After that, he wants to take a road trip to the Jack Daniels distillary. I've never been there so I think it will be fun. It's just going to be a long day.
I hope you feel physically better soon. I know that can go a long way to helping you feel emotionally better. Please let me know if there is anything you need.
