Good morning friends. Just wanted to update everyone on how my surgery went and where I am at. I had my surgery on Monday 8/31 and experienced a minor complication, an Ileus, that kept me in the hospital until Friday. I must say that I had some awesome nurses and 1 tech that was a god send, but the rest of the techs really need to spend a week in the hospital with someone like themselves caring for them and see if they don't change their ways. Anyway, me personally, I have experienced more pain and discomfort than I anticipated and even remember when I woke up in recovery with my chest hurting terribly that something must have went wrong even though the nurse assured me it hadn't and I was fine. I remember thinking, "What the hell have I done?" I then made the mistake of asking to be weighed on Thursday thinking I had been in there for 4 days with only clear liquids, surely I had lost some weight already...............WRONG..........in fact, I had gained 11 lbs and nearly had a hear attack. My nurse assured me it was from all the IV fluids and gases they pump in you for the surgery and that it would literally just fall off. I am happy to report it has plus another 9 lbs. So as of my follow up appointment yesterday, I have lost a total of 62 lbs!!!!!! It is really surreal and I don't know why. I mean I know that is why we do this, but I have never lost 62 lbs before and I just came to the realization that this is going to happen. I am taking back control of my life and never looking back. I am so thankful for all the wonderful friends that I have who sent up prayers and well wishes for me while I was in the hospital. I hope each of you are finding success in your journeys and look forward to hearing from you soon. Take care and be blessed.
