I can't believe its been over 3 weeks since my RNY surgery....where has the time gone???!!
First of all..thanks to all my OH friends who have messaged me, called me, prayed for me, or just thought of me.
You all have a special place in my heart and will be my friends forever!
My family has also been outstanding! I don't know what I would do without my mum. As you all know, I am separated and had to move back home...its been a blessing in disguise as my mum has been my saviour!! I LOVE YOU MUM!!
After some debate we decided to go to Livonia the day before surgery...I was worried about traffic!
The bowel prep was horrendous...but necessary. Enough said.
I arrived the morning of surgery at 10:15am. Blood taken, pregnancy test done, and sent to wait. I was called back to get the gown on, IV put in, and the botties put on. The IV was a nightmare...I actually felt bad for my nurse, but she gave me locals each time and it wasn't so bad..third time was the charm!!
My surgery was postponed 2 hours due to complications of the fellow before my surgery. Poor guy had a rough road.
My surgery went well...Dr Zeni fixed to hernias I didn't know I had, and dealt with some scar tissue from a previous surgery.
All in all things went well and now is the hard part...recovery.
I've been dealing with nerve pain...which is finally relieving...after alot of praying!!
I've lost 29lbs so far since surgery and 44lbs since July!! I am so proud of myself for this!!!
I feel great, although tired. But I am resting and doing everything I can to heal and improve.
I am so excited about life these days and what is waiting for me out there!!
I LOVE MY WLS!!!
Much love and God bless,
Tova
