I'm Finally Back

Mar 31, 2009

Sorry that it has been a while since my last post but I was out of work for 7 weeks and I don't have Internet axcess at home.  I had my lap. gastric bypass on 2/2/09 and everything went fine as far as the surgery but when I went back for my 3 week check up I had an infection at one of the incision sites.  The doctor cut me back open and let it drain in the office but because I live 2 hours from his office he thought it best to put me back in the hospital for a round of antibiotics.  I stayed in the hospital another 3 days.  But it's better to be safe than sorry, right!  He sent me home with a hole in my stomach about 3 inches long and 6 inches deep that I had to pack full of gauze 3 times a day.  What fun that was or is rather because I am still doing it.  But the hole is almost completely well now and I have lost a total of 38 lbs.  My surgeon is an angel and has taken such good care of me.  And his staff is pretty awesome too.  I couldn't ask for anything better.  I can't wait to see myself 6-8 months from now. 

Thanks to my OH fam for all of the support!
