sorry, I'm here

Thank you all for all your concerns I just checked my e-mail and recieved email from some of you wonderful people...... ok here is my update....I had my extended tummy tuck and it went well.....they repaired a hernia I was in very much discomfort afterwards.....my husband was there and all he could do was cry cause he has never seen me in such distress and belive me it was lots of disstress.....when I went home I didn't do to bad....I did get and infection from one of the four drains.....they gave me anti-biotics to clear that up......which in turn cause a bacteria in the bowel and now that the bacteria is gone and I still have a problem with control of the bowels I have seen my wls surgeon who sent me for a catscan....I'm waiting for the results of this they think my intestins(sp?) have gotten twisted since surgery.....this has been the hardest part of my jounery.....I can't eat anything or go anywhere cause I can't make it to the bathroom.....I know to much info.....but this has become a real problem for me....I have lost 158 lbs since wls and 35lbs since PS, I am gaining some of my energy back and I am taking it one day at a time.....I wish I could give you better news but this is where I am.... I still have no regrets for having either one of these surgeries and I would still do it again even knowing what I know.....it was the best thing that has happened to me... I did go from a size 26 to a great size 12 and I am very thankful....never in my life would I have expected to be this size...I am only 3 lbs away from my personal goal and 13 lbs from my doctors goal... I have had a hard time getting here with my new position and my husband will be having surgery next week.....but he is more worried about me and my intestinal problem than he is about himself.... I want to thank you all so much for thinking about me and believe me I think about you guys all the time.....Lisa Fiske thanks for the e-mail and getting me here to post and lisa Marie for posting and looking for me. You are all so special and I hold you all close to my heart....I haope you are all doing well and keeping on track with your journey's Christine 346/246/188

OMG... Hi Sweetie Pie........... I've been MIA for awhile I know. I also lost all of my information on everyone. My phone broke... Oh well. So how you doing? Let me tell you when everyone was NOT lying when they said this is the best thing we can do for ourselves. Girl I am down 128 pds and loving it. Went down from 339 to 212, from size 28 to a 14 loose fit and can fit into a strech 12. I am only out 9 months and have a long way from going to 170 but I know I will before 2007, pds seem to just shed off like nothing. Hey I'm not complaining. Also, I have not had any complications and I am thankful to God. If you can email me. Hope you are doing good. Mercedes
