Have had Surgery......it isn't the EASY way out
on August 23, 2009 6:50 pm

I had laproscopic gastric bypass surgery on July 29th, 2009.    I have not had an EASY way so far as a few people have declared I was taking.  I am nauseous and finding it hard to get in all of my liquids and protein.   I wonder if my stoma (the MM sized hole) has healed smaller than the size of an MM.  Dr.Poplawski stated that this happens with every one out of thirty patients.  (1/30)

My Story

My story.  I am 33 years old turning 34 in October.  I am a proud Mother of two beautiful boys ages 22 mths and 3 yrs 4mths.  I have been married for 7 years on April 19th but my husband and I have been together for a total of 15 years.   I am 5'3" and weigh 251 lbs.  I have always had a problem with sweating but since I have been heavy my sweating has become much more severe.  I change my clothes at least once a day and have to sleep on towels because I literally soak the bed with sweat.  The sweat rolls off the end of my nose, down my back, arms and legs and pools in the tips of my gloves when I wear them at work - I am a nurse.   I will have to continue this writing later, both my kids have a cold and are miserable.  To be continued......
