I am using ice @MrsN to numb area. I put injection in 45degree as sub/c I wait couple seconds and injection tiny bit then stop otherwise it stings. I don't rub it after as was told it bruises. But my stomach now is from purple to yellow in them. i do it stomach as it absorbs better their than anywhere else. I pinch inch of the fat, if you slightly lean forward stomach muscles go in. But I am getting close to hip area and will swap sides when the one side has no space. I have now more lose skin as post op swelling going down so I won't run out of places one time I am glad of fat on my tum!Question to anyone having injections after their wls:
Where is the best place to stick it? My first was done by the nurse in my gut, then the second was done by me. I asked where and was told stomach or thigh, so I picked thigh. I've since read you shouldn't do it into a muscle, but the body is covered in muscles?
The dressings were called mepore, just like a gauze with waterproof clear label over but theyre off now and the incision sights look better than I thought.@JakkiD what sort of dressing did you have?
I have this waterproof stuff on it's like a purple colour and not a traditional dressin as such.

Hi @MrsN im doing ok, just fed up being a patient now, im not suffering with much pain now apart from around the area of the biggest wound, especially when I do too much, thinking im back to normal, I soon realise otherwise!! Fluids going down no problem, i manage about 1500mls I think, hope you are well![]()
