long time no see!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello everyone!!!!!!!! I am about ten years post op RNY. I haven't signed on for a few years andd am unable to find anyone that I know. The past few years have been very rocky for me. I have been very ill several times with bleeding ulcers in my pouch bringing me near death more than once but I am a survivor. Good luck to you all and I hope someone remembers me.
Not really. So much has happened to me and I have had to have so many repeat surgery prodecures. I had a lot of scar tissue and severe pain. Probably the ulcers were from the pain med but I had four or five GI Bleeds before the ulcer. They say I am predisposed to ulcers. Anyway, the day after Thanksgiving I went in for a 'simple" prodecure to remove the scar tissue and nearly bled out. had to stay in ICU for a few days. I nearlt died the first day but amazingly, I came out of it. I am starting to feel human again just barely, LOL. I have tried to find some other friends but it seems they are all gone. I wonder a lot about CharlieC, leilana and a few others. Thank you for replying to me and jane, it was so good to see you also.
Leilani has been gone for a long time, which I find so sad since she was my inspiration when I was first getting surgery. Charlie posted for a long time but shes been gone now too for awhile, I remember her posting she was taking a break and then I don't recall her ever coming back. I have lists of friends who were here years ago who haven't been back in forever, its really sad because I would love to know if they are okay and doing well. I try to read these boards everyday and post where I can.
