4 Years today!!!
Today I am 4 years post op! I was 450 lbs and wore a size 36! Today, I am 176 lbs and wear a size 10!
Last Tuesday I had my first complication.. A small bowell obstruction. I was in the hospital 1 week, had open surgery to fix the obstruction and repair my 2 hernias. I was at work and it happened really fast. The pain started about 7 pm and that night, i was being admitted in the hospital.
Now, everyone is asking me if I regret having WLS because of the obstruction. HECK NO! I researched WLS very well so i know that things can happen... even years later.
All my complications from WLS...
Severely Anemic .. have to have iron transfusions
2 Abdominal hernias
Bowell Obstruction
Even after all that, i would do it again!!!
Happy 4 years to me!!

Hi Kay - you look fabulous! I can feel your positive energy and enthusiasm for life.
My only complication is having moved from health insurance as a group policy to an individual and dealing with it as a pre-existing condition. That has been ugly, even with the company who processed the procedure in the first place.
I wish you and all continued success knowing there will be high and low points.
