A Quick Question

Hi everyone: It's been 8 months since my operation and I am down about 175 lb. A few days ago I saw discoloring in my upper thighs and  lower abdomen, just above the privates. (every place where the extra skin is covering.) The skin became very dark. Later I noticed that my skin is peeling off. Is this normal or shall I be seeing my doctor or surgeon. Thank you a lot. George, the Canadian EH?

Sounds like a fungal issue and no it's not normal I'm sure.  It's never normal when you have skin discoloration with peeling. Definitely alert your physician and in the meantime get some goldbond or something to put there. I'm sure some of the other guys will have better advice, sorry!

Thank you very much. In the Am I will go and see my doctor. have a good evening, George.

Defintley not the norm...time to go see your doctor.....is it a rash type dark or a bruise type dark? Scott

Looks like a bruise. I will be going to the Dr's tomorrow am. thank you scott.

large brusing can be a sign of anemia (iron def. kind) or even in rare cases a lack of vit. K.  At 8 months out you can might be difficient.  or it could just be a rash. Scott

hey George.. Also this type of skin issue, if you keep going to the doc for it, it will help with the insurance to get plastics...keep going...every month...and make the doc document it... congrats on the lose

Have you and the ol' lady done any experimenting lately? Maybe a little "reverse cowgirl" action? That might explain a discoloration above the privates. Possibly a shower might solve all your problems.  Just kidding. I'd get my ass to the doc asap.

A big THANK YOU to all of my net friends that gave me suggestions, I'll be seeing my doc. later on today. THANK YOU, George
