Revision gastric bypass

Aug 17, 2015

Well I had my surgery on Monday August the 10th I came home from the hospital on Thursday so far a lot of uncomfortable gas as usual a little sore not much but my surgeon did run into a complication once he started my surgery I had a lot of scar tissue around my old pouch So he had to go in and clean all that up and then he did my gastric bypass over from scratch so I'm starting fresh as of right now  My two week check up will be August the 27th Finishing up with my. Full liquids Now I'm headed for pureed food which we all know sucks  Well just a quick check in Wish me luck

Happy New Years

Jan 10, 2013

It's truly been a minute and I had been waiting on the new year to get here because as you know last year was kinda rough for me I had so much going on just not a good year at all. I finally made it to onederland at 198lbs. it took a minute but I got here I had a very long stall but it was due to all the stress and the 3 three surgeries I had last year they had me out the gym for about 6 months total so that was really hard because I love going to the gym and working out, it's really how I block out the rest of the world and gets me motivated for the day. I have currently bought some items to workout at home when I cant get out the gym. I have also been enjoying alot of things I thought I would never do. Well thats all for now just a short update

HAPPY 1 YEAR SURGERVERSIARY TO ME

Apr 02, 2012

Hello every one I am a few days past my 1 year anniverary and it has been bitter sweet for me as you know I lost my sister Febuary 8th and as if that wasnt enough my mother passed away on March 12th so it has really been alot to deal with . I had my full tummy tuck on March 22nd and it is really something different but my surgeon removed 9lbs of fat and skin I was really suprised at the amount because I really hid it well most ppl asked why I was having a tummy tuck, but that was because I wore some really good girddles lol. but anyway just a quick drop in all is well and I hope the same for everyone else.

Losing my drive

Feb 17, 2012

the last time i posted my sister had had her gastric bypass.....but she was sick about two weeks out and continued to be sick in and out the hospital they ran test but kept saying they couldnt find anything then she went back to our surgeon and he told her she needed her galledbladder remove bt before she could shcedule the test to see she ended back in the hospital which she spent christmad and new years there and they finally removed her galledbladder she was back at home finally and feeling better and two weeks later she had a massive stroke and brain bleed that left her in a coma after 3 weeks she was finally a little better but over the first hump and the doctors felt she could now be moved to a rehab place well she was moved on Tues feb. 7th and died feb. 8th we my whole family are at a lost right now because we just knew she would be alright.........I have looked in the mirror so many times lately and asked if it was worth it al though my sister didnt have surgery because I did, her own dr, suggested her to have it but I cant help to think that she looked at me a saw how well I did and how much better I felt that it made her fell confident enough to go thru with hers a part of my heart is gone now.
