Post op from ankle surgery

Jul 01, 2008

Well, I am 2 days post of from my 4th ankle surgery, and I am doing O.K., considering I fell on the floor when I got home from the Hospital.  My leg was totally numb from the nerve block, and I tried to get up, and down I went.  I don't think I hurt anything, but only time will tell.  

I don't know if my Weight loss is going O.K. or not, because I have this darned cast on my leg.  

Have a great day everyone!!!

Hmm, not as much weightloss as I anticipated?

Jun 26, 2008

Well, I am 2 1/2 months post op, and I have only lost 35 pounds.  Ughhh!!  I knew I would lose slowly, considering this is my second wls.  but darn it, I wanted to at least lose 45 pounds by July 10th, well, we will see.  

I am having my 4th, yes I said 4th surgery Monday on my ankle, this year has been crazy!  Seems I have a Screw Loose!  Who'd a thunk it?  Hopefully they get it right this time.

One Week Post Op

Apr 17, 2008

Well, I went back to the doc today for my one week checkup.  I have officially lost 13.5 lbs in one week.  WoW!!!  My pain has subsided some, still there, but way more tolerable than before.

I got my Drainage tube removed, and he wants to wait another week to remove the staples.  Fine with me.  

So, if you get anything out of this from me, just know that even though you go through a lot of pain at first, it does get better.  Plus, I feel so much better. 

Home from Hospital

Apr 15, 2008

Well, I got out of the Hospital yesterday.  I am hurting so bad.  I was in the ICU in the hospital because of being a higher risk.  The nurses there are Fantabulous!  Even though I was the only patient in that area.  LOL...

I am having trouble moving  around.  I have pain on my left side where my drain tube is, and also on my right side.  I have been able to keep everything down.  Good Thing, cause I couldn't bend to throw up if I had to.


1 day to go!!!

Apr 09, 2008

Well I just got a call from my doc's office, and they want me in at 5:30 A.M.  wow that's early, not that I will be able to sleep anyway....  They still want to do a Chest 
X-Ray and EKG before surgery.  

I plan on having a great meal today, even though, it is 1:00 P.M.  I haven't eaten a thing.  LOL...

I am not as scared as I was, but My hubby was reading the info from the Doc's office, you know the one that says You could Die from this Surgery?  He is worried worse than me.  

I trust my surgeon, and I am not ready to die yet, That is why I am having the surgery, I want to LIVE AGAIN without the bad health, I want to walk up a flight of stairs, cross my legs, wear my wedding band, etc...

I know that God will Guide the surgeon's hands with precision so that I can lead  a healthy happy life.

Two Days to Go!!!

Apr 08, 2008

Well, I have two days to go.  I have been reading other people's posts, and they all have to do a preop diet, My doc doesn't have me doing anything.  I am starting to get nervous.  I have been crying at the drop of a hat.  I know I am doing the right thing, just have those darn Butterflies.  

My hubby has been so supportive.  I love him so much.

Good Luck to everyone else having their surgeries soon.


Exactly one Week till my Big Day!

Apr 03, 2008

Well, exactly one week from Today, I will be lying in my Hospital bed recovering from the Bypass.  I have not got scared at all.  I'm sure I will soon.  I ordered my Bariatric Edge Mulit Vitamins, and the Protein Tubes, forgot the name.  

I had more consults today, and saw the Physical Therapist, and Respertory Therapist,   They gave me a bag of Samples to try, a pedometer, a measuring tape, etc....  

I have about 3 booklets (Lol) to read they gave me.

The Center For Comprehensive Weightloss has been very Sweet, prompt, and efficient.

I also talked to Dr. Shina for a second today, and asked about the options of open versus Lap, he said he is starting Lap, and if need be, will do open.
