Heidi's Story
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
