I've had my revision surgery!

Nov 30, 2009

A lot has happened since I posted back in June. I started out seeing a surgeon in Charlotte, NC, but he wanted to put a lap band over my bypass, and since I didn't want that, I found Dr. Sudan in Durham, NC. I went to my first consultation with Dr. Sudan on 09-28-09, and I had my revision surgery on 11-20-09. I didn't have the revision to the DS; I was revised to a distal bypass or also known as the ERNY. I came home from the hospital on 11-23-09. I'm doing pretty good. I've already lost 10 pounds- not a lot, but a small start. I'm having trouble getting all my protein in especially with the protein shakes; I just don't like them. I've already started my vitamin regimen. My bowel movements are different now than before my revision; they are loose, but I think that is one side effect of the distal bypass. I want to suceed this time; my heart and brain are really in it for me to succeed!
More to come.....
