Revision Again

Jul 30, 2010

I had a revision of a revision July 27, 2010.  Unbelievable!!  I still can't believe it.  I went to my surgeon with severe gas pains in the back and side after every meal.  I was very gassy.  I said it sounded like intestinal blockage. I also discussed my 41lb weight gain in a year and a half of being post op from my revision done December 17, 2007. He said he would go in and find the blockages and reduce my pouch size.  When I woke up from surgery I was in excrusiating pain.  They found lots of scar tissue as usual in my upper abdomen and reduced my pouch to half the size it was according to the docs.  They reminded me in the hosiptal that this was like me starting all over again.  Liquid diet week 1, add protein on day 5 and so on.  I admit I wasnt mentally ready for this but I guess that's a good thing.  All I have in my mind is wearing the 12s and 14s in my closet that I could no longer fit. That was half of my closet filled with clothes that were just sitting there because I had gotten back into 18w/20w. I have jumped right into this because I truthfully have no choice. God is a God of second and third chances.  I am too blessed and it's unbelieveable that I have yet another chance at this fight.  Thank you God and Thank you Dr. Lavin and Dr. Reddmann.
