Slowly healing

Jan 22, 2012

well after going thru a horrendous 2011, I am slowly on the mend. I have lost a total of 150 lbs from my original weightloss surgery but 60 lbs of it was due to a life threatening  result of the lap-band. The band eroded causing stomach necropsy. I was in a coma for 3 weeks from blood poisoning that lasted a good 8 months. Doctors finally cleared me of that in October 2011. The blood poisoning and side effects of the stomach necropsy also caused spinal menginitis and a double herniation of the L5, L4, and S1 in August 2011 of which had to be repaired. My back is still in alot of pain and was told last week more than likely within the year I will have to have a 3 level spinal fusion.

All in all, I am glad I've lost alot of weight and can spend more time with my kids and family although I can't do much.

Thanks to a wonderful set of doctors in Ft Myers, Florida especially Dr. Moses Shieh. He literally saved my life!!! I would recommend him to anyone that is within reach of Ft Myers. Here is his website---
