Last weekend I ended up in the hospital with a gi bleed. This morning the pain woke me up and I was bleeding from both ends again. Monday is my fourth week and its been nuts. Today I had all the ulcers around my anastomosis cauterized and tonight I'm gettig 3 units of blood. I jumped through a million hoops for this surgery and I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse! Not much to be done about this now but please tell me I did the right thing....

Hi Karen,

Unfortunately some people get off to a rough start, and it sounds like you've had more then your share of challenges. It's completely understandable that right now you're wondering if you did the right thing. Just to add a better perspective, these things are much easier solved than if you remained obese, and had to recover from a stroke or heart attack. I think once things smooth out and you lose weight, you'll be able to see the benefits, and be happy you made this decision.

Hang in there and best wishes!

Kat
