Heidi's Journey to Weight Loss

July 26, 2017

As of today I am eight (8) weeks post-op.  In these short eight (8) weeks I have to say that my emotions regarding this surgery have been up and down.  There are days that I can honestly say that this was the best decision I have ever made.  Then there are days like this past week including today, where I sit and ponder the idea, "Was this worth the frustration that I am faced with right now"?  See, when I was released from the hospital on June 1, 2017, I knew something wasn't quite right.  But they insisted I would be fine once I got home.  Well, they were wrong,  I ended up back in the hospital that night due to severe  dehydration.  But once I was able to come home after another night stay I never felt better in my life.  Now I am having issues of lower right abdominal pain and not able to move my bowels, and it is literally making me physically sick.  No matter what I do, take, nothing is helping and as of today I am not able to eat without vomiting (sorry for being so graphic), but I need to tell my story.  I mentally do know that this decision was the right decision for me, but physically and emotionally I am not quite sure.  I have a follow-up with my PCP on Thursday, July 27, 2017.  I honestly could not have ask for better PCP, she is so caring and concerned that she has her staff call me just see how I am felling.  I just hope that between herself and me as well as my surgeon we will be able to figure this all out.  So that I may continue on the right path of healthy weight loss, as well as enjoying this new journey that I have bark upon.   Weight Loss Pictures.docx
