I am looking forward to my second crack at bariatric surgery. The first one, supposed to be an rny, failed in 2010 because my liver was too large. So I woke up after they cut me open and told me to lose 25 to 30 lbs.
I have since lost about 25

Still in a bit of a quandary - The pain has improved to the point where I might not need medication. I am just coming out of my "surgery daze" and am trying to put things into perspective. I'm not sure what if...

The bad news is... - They did the surgery but they didn't do the surgery. They opened me up but realized my liver was too large so they closed me up. I am in pain but not too terrible. I have a mixtur...
