You rock Roxi! Congratulations on meeting this goal! Isn't this the Bomb!!! Melanie

Hey Marchers....I finally made it! Got so excited when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw 199 that I did the happy dance. It was 3 a.m. and my DH thought something was seriously wrong the way I was carrying on When I told him the great news he calmly said that he knew it would happen today and was thrilled for me that it did. I have been reading about you all finding your knee's, shoulders and hips having bones that none of us have seen in along time and I am just thrilled for all of us. It amazes me what this surgery has done for my life and my outlook on life. I have my 6 month visit with the surgeon on Wednesday and am looking forward to that so we can reset my goal weight to something more reasonable than 126!!!!! Congrats to all of us Marchers...even tho I don't post often I always read what is going on. Your support is always there with me and I so appreciate you all! Big Smiles!! Roxi 285/199/?

That is a good feeling Keep up the good work. Janice 231/157/130ish one day

Listen to your doctor. If it gets strangled in the weak point of your incision and the blood supply gets cut off, you could have that part of your intestine die. I could happen while you are sleeping and not even aware of it. If the "strangled" gut slips back in the body, it can cause gangrene or an infection. If that part of the intestine dies, you'd probably have to have a colostomy till the repaired intestine heals after the "dead" area is cut out. HAVE IT FIXED ASAP. I'm a nurse. Having the hernia repaired is a far cry from the infection, pain and life threatening catastrophe of putting off a simple hernia repair.
