Wow angel. when was this? are you feeling better now?

Iggychic I am much better now. This happened 8-14 this year. I didn't have rapid weight loss at the beginning like most, I actually gained 5lbs at my first visit after surgery. I was so full of Fluid from the IV's. I'm on the right track now. As of today I am down 43 lbs!

Just the idea of Sharting myself is a serious complication to Me....

Lol...I agree

I thank God I have not had a "major" complication, but at almost 4 weeks out I'm still having pain issues, which my surgeon cannot figure out. It is interfering with my quality of life and basic activities of daily living. I pray time will heal me and I will look back at this as a "bump in the road". I've had follow up blood work twice and an abdominal CT scan. Everything appears "mostly" normal. Complications take on different meanings when you're living them.

Amen to that! When you are the 1 in 400 your perspective on the odds changes significantly.

I hope they either figure your issue out or it dissipates soon. Thats a long time to feel ill.

But Angel you probably missed the dreaded 3 week stall (look on the good side LOL). My surgery was 8/23 and I was up 40lbs once when they did the morning weights in hospital. I looked like the stay puff marshmallow boy with exterior wiring (lots of tubes and lines). But you're rocking good health now Great job and I'm glad your "bump in the road" is over!
