Almost a Year

Jul 08, 2009

Wow here it is July 8 2009....That is 8 days short of my year anniversary for my first surgery and my what a year it has been. I won't go into the boring details of everything I have indured this year but I will tell you how the last 3 weeks have been.

So I had my revision done which started out laproscopticly but there were complications so it turned into open. The stomach pouch that was made the first time around was made pretty strange according to the second surgeon and the pouch was fused to my liver and old stomach, so that was cut out and removed completely and a new stomach pouch was made...which means bye-bye ulcer...
I also had my gallbladder removed due to stones as well as my appendix though that was removed only as a pricautionary measure.  I was in the hospital for four days and then came home. Since then I have been eating sooo much better and actually ate really good on the 4th of July.  The staples were removed last week and stitches get removed this Thursday. I am hoping I can get the doctor to remove the feeding tube as well but we will see...

All I can say is thank god for Dr. Weiland and his crew at Surgical Associates! Without them I would still be hopeless and miserable.. I look forward to my birthday at the end of August because I am hoping that by then I will be eating normal food for the first time in a whole year....

Oh I am currently weighing in at 130lbs. and wearing a size 8/10....I seriously can not even remember ever wearing those sizes....I have been asking for clothes for my birthday so hopefully I get that...I also asked for a gym membership and the Wii Fit.
