surgery again!

Well I was right and I do have an incisional hernia. And due to the extreme pain I have Debbie and Dr Valin agree that it must be repaired right away. So just to let u all know on Tuesday(Oct 4th) I am going in for surgery to have it repaired. Wish me luck all as I am extremely nervous! Don't have a clue why I am more scared of this than I ever was of the bypass! Anyway I will update when I get home and am able to! hugssssssss to all Krista 327/232 -95 and no longer Morbidly Obese!!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Krista! You look FABULOUS! Mickey

Good luck with your surgery. I'm sure it will be much easier than your bypass. I felt the same way when I had to have my gall bladder out after my bypass and was surprised at how much easier it was. I hope it goes the same for you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I know you're in great hands with Dr. Valin. Maggie

Best of luck to you Krista, Your in my thoughts and prayers. I hope all goes well with your surgery. Your in good hands with Dr. Valin and Debbie. Take care and stay strong sweetie, we are all here for you. Hugs KimC

Krista: Good luck with your surgery on Tuesday. I don't know your doctor, but from what I have heard from others...You will be in good hads with Dr. Valin. I am thinking one possible reason you are more nervous is that you are not using food as your coping mechanism to deal with the stresses of life anymore. I do find that things bother me much more now. ... meaning... I feel my feelings now! So I will say to you what my support group leader says to us and is an AA phrase. "This too shall pass." Meaning... you will get throught the surgery being in the capable hands of Dr. Valin and be pain free again. Your feelings are very valid and understandable. Know we all will be praying for you. Be well...heal well. Will keep you in my thoughts on Tuesday. Towanda

Krista, Good luck with your surgery! You will be fine and back to normal in no time! Many thoughts and prayers are coming your way for a easy surgery and a speedy recovery! God bless! Kelly

Hi Krista, You look great - keep up the good work! You will be in my thoughts and prayers on Tuesday. I am sure you will breeze through the surgery! I will be waiting to hear how you are. Hugs and Prayers, Nancy K

Hi Krista, I just wanted to wish you a speedy recovery. I just finished reading your profile and boy do we have alot in common. I feel like I could have written alot of that! Especially about the hair loss! People keep asking me, "why oh why did you cut that beautiful hair?" I want to scream "I DIDN'T CUT IT-IT FELL OUT!" It has been hard. I am 6 months post op and my doctor keeps telling me that it will all come back in time. But when!? I want it all back now. Anyway, I am ranting here so best of luck to you. I will be thinking of you! I will write again when I have more time to talk. We can compare notes! Haha... Nicki

Best of Luck Krista..I hope you are out of pain soon! Joanie
