Hi all

          Im just a little weirded out today im 6 and 1/2 weeks post op. And i just happened to be scratching my left midsection (where i had huge bruise after surgery) and it started giving me shocking type pains through to my back. It doesnt hurt otherwise just when i ty ouch or scratch a certain spot. I was also put on carafate last friday week and half ago. For a possible healing ulcer. But my surgeon is closed bow and was a little scared figured id call him in morning if it still there. But in meantime anyone know what this could be?? I also have had bm today and farting a bit. (To say it blunt)...would like any info anyone could have..thanks

My husband bought me a scale because he said i deserved it with how good ive been doing WELL it has been 12 days post op and ive lost 26 lbs, I knew i would lose alot of weight but was totally shocked (i put my kids on it to make sure scales right..lol) i cant believe it! 

Hi everyone

             I figured i would give an update because some people asked on my blog but i cannot seem to respond cant figure it out..maybe because ive been using my phone not my computer due to the pain of having laptop on stomach.

       So yes thanks for those that have asked I am doing ok,im still in pain when i walk and cant seem to get much water down at a time without the full sick feeling but feeling better than day 1.I do admit I have thought to myself "i would never do this again" if time went back..this was insane!! But then i remember what is at the end ..and have talked to some people on here and feel alot better about the choice.

      Im not gonna sugar coat it the pain is horrid..and the inability to keep not even a couple sips down at once without feeling like it wants to come back outi is uncomfortable..but Things will get better im told and yes ive been feeling a little better each day soooo...im 50/50 right now about my feelings to if i would do this again...

         Thanks again everyone ive had contact with since surgery and that have helped me from this site.and have asked on how im doing..

Surgery nearing fast!

                     well my pre surgery testing is in 2 days and my surgery is in 4 days,Im excited yet a little scared. Honestly my surgeon is totaly awesome and very confident but with the luck ive had in life im still a little scared about the risks (I am almost 400lbs) But ive lived with this extra weight too long now and if I dont get it done my knees will never feel better,I will never have my knee surgery and I will be unhealthy and 400 pounds if not more if I continue. No knee surgery or weightloss would mean another couple years MISERABLE my kids already have had a somewhat crappy life unable to do much as a family because im too embarrassed to go anywhere or because I wont fit into the seats or booths :-( And thats the best case scenerio other case IM DEAD and kids have no mom! 

I thought I had this conquered already once when I lost 100+ pounds like 5 years ago but was unfortunetly hit by a drunk driver twice,yes I said that TWICE,like I stated above my luck is not the best..lol and well after that I ended up with some messed up discs in my neck and back and was unable to walk anuymore or do much of anything without unbearable pain,so I gave up like a moron! and then well my knees got so arthritic they began to deteariorate and now are bone on bone (both).and am really pretty immobile and was told by my pcp and ortho drs that I needed weightloss surgery or I wouldnt be able to lose enough very quick because they didnt want me to walk and try NO stairs and I needed my knees done so my pain would go away,Also so I could walk again. Who knows once I lose weight my knees will get better and hopdefully wont need surgery ,Well thats kinda unlikely But im sure they will at least get better and I will be able to move more until I can get them fixed too. SO with all that said this is why I need this weightloss surgery! please wish me luck everyone.
