3 months status post reversal

Dec 07, 2010

Me thinking with my picc line placement tomorrow and being exactly 3 months to the day post op open reversal today, spending last Thursday, my 41st birthday waiting all day to have an endoscopy and not being able to have one because 3 people tried 5 different times to get an iv in me and couldn't ,kinda sucks...
Me laughed my butt off yesterday(yesterday being the 6th, had my sx 12-5-01) when getting a Happy 9th Anniversary email from OH that was semi personalized to know I was a senior graduate post op, and that I participate on here, and thank you for sharing and being supportive of other people's journies was hilarious. Actually I am supportive of those as an anti-wls advocate who I encounter, share my story with and still elect to have the surgery anyways.....
    If you elect to have wls, please read all different types of opinions and do a lot of research. I still did that, knew from friends experiences and working for a health insurance company what to expect but you never know what it's going to be like for YOU, until you are on the other side. If I had a crystal ball I would never ever have done this to myself, EVER. But at least because I did, and I have a brilliant kind nationally recognized surgeon is the reason why I am still here. But both of us have lost all patience with each other, my non compliance is part to blame so is the nature of the surgery. I know way too many people who have been far more non compliant and have had no complications, and I know people who were completely compliant from day 1 and had their lives ruined if they were able to keep them.
