How is my ob family doing today? hopefully all is well, anyhoo for the past month an a half ive spent my time in 3 different hospitals and 1 nursing home I know at this point your like what the hell well me too lol in the tragic time for me I have to find some humour in this kaotic situation im gonna explain and stress certain things to ones having weight loss surgery and I need help from ones that allready had surgery well here I go It's been 4months since I had my surgery an I have lost 119lbs (378lbs) with my 5ft statue and my body my bones rejected the weight loss i could say thats the real reason but its not the truth is that I meaning me I didnt take care of myself not taking proper vitamins and eating cost me my freedom of being independent is it temporary doctors dont know but with faith in the lord Im telling you and myself it is I suffered from malnutrition and a sever vitamin deficency and naropathy in my feet I cannot feel my feet I have no feeling when touching my stomach last but not least I cannot walk without a walker short distances but most of my time is in a wheelchair because of my careless ways and me just being happy and living my life with the constant weight loss I was blind to the abvious I need vitamins so on a lighter note I stress to people how important it is to follow directions following this surgery just because you didnt have any complications in the begining doesnt mean you wont if you do not do as told but as for me im blessed through all this dont get me wrong ive broke and loss faith numrous times but with the strength of friends and family im getting it  together with rehab an faith in the lord  and taking my vitamins I will over come this thanks for taking the time to read this lata for now
