Ok, no more tube! Shew...was that a nightmare!  My incision is almost completely healed, still have 2 places that seem to keep leaking and fluid seems to still collect in one main area.
But, hopefully, soon I will be completely healed!
I am down to 221, wow-37 pounds!!  It is funny, I don't really think I look that much different yet, but..2 people have come up and asked me if I am new at work and introduced themselves to me?! What in the world? lol, I have been here for a year.
But...it actually makes me feel good.

One more appointment to get this G-Tube out!  Wed 1-4-12.  I really hope it comes out this time!!

What a huge disapointment.  I was told that staples and g-tube would come out at the 6 week after surgery mark.  They only had an opening for an appt, yesterday-4 days early to hit 6 wks.
The surgeon wouldn't do it! He took out the staples-----which was extremely painful, but wouldn't take out the flippin g-tube!

OMG!!  I was sooo upset!

Ok, so I am doing better, hole in my incision is getting smaller, drainage is getting less and pain is handled by 2-tylenol extra strength a day.
But...this stupid G-tube is driving me crazy!!  My skin keeps sticking to it and makes it very sore!

Why...why are the ladies in the surgeons office sooooo rude!!  OMG!  They act like it is them personally that have to do anything for me.
I just want a freaking doc appoint to get my staples out and my g-tube out - all in one appointment!  Is this too much to ask?

So...maybe I am feeling better physically, but this whole thing has taken a HUGE toll on me emotionally.  I am sooo done with this and need to have everything back to normal.  NOW!

Wow, so my esophagus developed a 'leak' before connecting to my pouch and everything I was drinking was collecting in my abdomen!!
Soooooooo much pain!
Back to the ER/ admitted for a full week - and the entire time could not eat a thing - even ice chips!!  It has been horrible.

I am praying this gets better soon.
