Hi AMOS family. Well I am now seven days post op. I had open VBG RNY on Oct 31st. I am now home and and so far everything is going well. Nine pounds lost. The first two days were pretty bad. I'm not sleeping to well at night, I just can't get comfortable. My surgeon does not believe in sending pain meds home with you, so it has been a little tough, but each day seems to be getting a little easier. Today I started pureered food and so far everything has sat well. I'm on my way. I especially thank God for bringing me safely through the surgery. My family for their support and everyone who has prayed and wished me well. It was a long battle for me to have this, and I can hardly believe that I am now on the losing side. So everyone fighting insurances don't give up. Keep fighting it will happen when the time is right. I know the feeling of dissapointment, but you must never give up. Be persistant, I was. My prayers to all no matter where you are on your wls journey.
