It has been about 3.5 months since I had my surgery. It has not been easy been an easy path at all but I still don't regret it, just kinda wish I had done it sooner. I have been sick a lot, turns out that developing ulcers after surgery did not aid in recovery and I did suffer. Thankfully another scope, some medication and the ability to get a bit more food in me (and keep it in me) means that I finally have hope and believe it will lead to a full recovery. Even with the challenges I have had no real complications, I am losing weight, my knees are starting to feel better and I know in the long run this is the best thing I could have done for myself.
