Well two months out and i feel like a different person. My husband asked me the other day if i didnt lose anymore weight would i be happy where i was and  would  i say  this surgery was a success and my answer was:
Yes yes Yes I AM TRULY HAPPY (not anggry just so happy!!)
I am now 185 pounds and if i didnt lose any more i would be ok but.........my goal is 175 by christmas and 150 by March 13 my dear daughters wedding date.
now for the not so good news........... i had been checked out by my drs thouroughly good heart,lungs, kidney and liver
but they never expected me to end up with my back hurt after surgery or myleft arm being in pain or my left fingers being numb so now i am not only dealing with being post op but possibly facing surgery number 2
I dont think i was hurt during surgery i think it was one of those things i got a call from having a spinal mri and i have some significant changes to my left side of spine. so now i am going through pt 3 times a week. needless to say my month being out of work has changed and so far i have been out of work ten weeks  thank the lord my husband has a good job not to say things arent tough but  With theLords help we will make it.
Take care friends let me know how you are doing oh my bmi is now34.6 yyeah!!!!!!!!

hi i am one week post op today............Well the revision was supposed to be done in two steps to narrow the stoma and then to tighten the extremely large pouch when  i woke up i found  that the md had to take apart my  old rny  and due the rny again. dont know what ive lost but i feel better then a week ago. hang in there terri

Hi 3 more weeks and revision surgery what a frightening thought and exciting htought i remember 7 years ago  when i had my first rny and the pain afterwards thats the scary
part the exciting part is that i have one  last chance to lose weight gain energy and be healthy i am so pleased my insurance is going to help pay for this i just hope i can get back
to my fighting weight haha 138 would be high school size we  will see:)
