Hi,
Where do you live in MA? I am a leader of a face to face Northshore WLS support group in Beverly at the Herrick House near Beverly Hospital on Sat 10am to 11am. This meeting is every other week. The next meeting is March 5th.
Just thought I would let you know.

Hi everyone, I've been searching this site quite a bit when trying to make my decision into this great big world of WLS and all of your posts have been so honest and helpful that I decided to jump in and say hello.
I'm Susan and I'm from the South Shore. I'm currently waiting for my first appointment at Tufts in March to get the ball rolling. I'm both excited and nervous but overjoyed that I'm taking control to get healthy and feeling better about myself.
Thank you all for sharing your stories and experiences, its been a great help. I look forward to chatting with you all here!

Topic: I want the surgery more than ever!
So I went to the doctors today because my ankle has been killing me since Sunday morning. I dealt with it all day Sunday but Monday i have had enough. So I get to my doctors get xrays and waiting in the room for my results. I overhear my doctor and someone discussing my injury. The next thing I hear "is she large?" "yes she is large" I know I am a big girl but cmon can't you discuss it somewhere else I already feel physically hurt now I have to feel emotionally hurt as well. All I could think was next year who will you be calling large!..... BTW it was a stress fracture
Topic: RE: UH OH!
Unfortunately, if the medicine is not clearing things up, then yes you should get the wounds/sutures checked out ASAP. You do not want to risk an infection by any means and make things worse. ER co-pays suck the big one! :( So sorry!! Also, if your wounds are getting pussie and start to have odor to them please get them looked at! Hang in there Lee

Topic: UH OH!
Okay so Saturday I called my surgeon who happened to be on call and he calls back and we duke it out because I have a terrible rash growing on my wounds! redness, puffiness, itchiness, and its just gross to look at. He says try benedryl or go to the ER but he doesnt think its that serious. I try benedryl and nada..goes down a bit but then sunday I wake up and its all under every wound and is painful..sorta feels like its stretching the stitches. ugh. So today Im going to try calamine lotion and hydrocortizone cream. I DO NOT want to go to the ER because of a few reasons..I dont want to risk getting sick by others if in fact i am okay and 2 my co pay is 100 bucks and I am not working. If this doesnt work I think Im going to ask him to take a look. Is this reasonable or should I suck it up and ...go to the ER :/
