The worst is over...hopefully!

So I had bypass on 8/17

Normal surgery, no complications.

On 9/23 I was admitted to the hospital and had to go into the OR to check for an ulcer- which they found.

Yesterday 9/30 I had to have surgery to have my gallbladder removed.

I haven't been able to eat in weeks...and I'm excited to move on. I've put my life on hold for 2 months and I'm ready to get back to life.

On the plus side- I've lost 50 pounds in 6 weeks:)

Hopefully you are at the end of these complications and feel better soon.

Do they think you developed an ulcer in one months time? Or was it there before they did your surgery.

Just curious...

I know had I still had my gallbladder my surgeon planned to take it out when he did the bypass. Back in 93 I ended up having to have an open gallbladder surgery after losing 80lbs rapidly on a very low fat diet. By the time they figured out it was my gallbladder the only thing I could eat was dry cheerios and boiled potatoes with nothing on them.

My gallbladder was so loaded with stones at that time they had to do an open procedure instead of a laparoscopic procedure.

Now of course I am about to have an Abdominalplasty and one of the risks i have is from that large scar. Apparently it puts you at risk for infection and tissue death but I am doing it anyway. I cannot stand the loose skin i have on my belly.

Thank you so much!

I developed an ulcer because I stupidly took a couple NSAIDs after surgery.../:

Congrats on your weight loss and I hope everything goes well with your surgery!
