Heftynetty checking in after difficult surgery

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well I have been home since October 6th. I am on TPN and have a stent that will not come out for about 6 more months. I still have a drain, but the hole in my stomach is getting smaller and I am hoping that in another month or two it will be completely closed and then I at least get the drain out and can slowly start eating. I have not had a bite of food since before surgery in August!! I just got off of my atibiotics on Sunday and I am finally feeling like myself. I hate being hooked up to this drain and my central line, but I am home with my kids and starting to feel better! I appreciate everyone's thoughts and concerns. I have such a negative attitude about doing this, I regret this everyday of my life, I wish that I would of just taken the band out and called it a day. The GI doctor said my stomach was too weak to perform a sleeve surgery and it should not have been done, but apparently my surgeon felt okay with it and now here I am!! I am finally coming out of my depression mode, but I will always regret doing this!

I really hope that she keeps us posted on a regular basis. I hope she gets to feeling better, and becomes really happy that she did have the sleeve after all the problems that she had before with the band. She is at 180 pounds on 11/18/09 when she posted, so I hope that later after she recovers, the pounds start coming off and her happiness will return in her life. May God bless her with good health!!

I can sympathize and would be glad to share horror stories. I know sometimes it helps to know you are not alone in your misery. I just recently began to stop regretting although every time I have to go in for an esophagus stretching or I throw up because once again my stomach is not accepting anything but liquids I still ask myself why I did it. Then I remember that I wanted to get healthy and being obese and gaining on a regular basis was not going to get me there. I am still trying to convince my boss that I am ready to be back at work even though I have been back for over a month and I work all day and then some. Sometimes I do too much just trying to prove that all is well. I come home exhausted and veg in my recliner. Hubby will be so happy when I can get back in our bed. 6 months of no sleeping companion after 30 years of having one is hard to get used to. Anyway, I wish her well and my prayers are surrounding her. 1% seems like such a low number until YOU are that 1%!
