9 Months Post-op

May 12, 2009

Well as this trip been hell or what! So I finally broke down after 5 EGDs and 4 trips to the ER plus one ulcer, to go and get a second opinion and what I assumed was right...
Apparently my body is not liking the new order of things and keeps healing the stomach opening closed. If I do not have a revision I am looking at having to go in every 2 months for an EGD to dialate the opening wider. Has this done multiple times can cause scar tissue which could lead to fibrosis or tumors...So I was told...I just had an EGD done yesterday and now tomorrow I go in for an upper GI..Then on the 20th I meet the new nutrionist...Still working on that quitting smoking! Once that is accomplished I can have the revision....I have cut back hugely but still smoke like 2-4 cigs a day....That will change tomorrow though...Starting at midnight I flush the cigs and I am done....Hubby is wanting to enlist in the navy as soon as he can so he isn't here during the "bear" phase...

However I am now at 148 so have lost 155 lbs so far...
