I am almost recovered from surgery

Mar 17, 2007

Hello,
  I am here to say that I have made it. The wait, and work seemed like a life time, but as of Feb 26th I had the gastric bypass surgery, and am doing pretty good, still tire easy, but must add exercise to my days, haven't really had the strength to do so until now.
I had my gallbladder out at the same time as the WLS and had some unusual complications due to it. But am doing ok now. I did have to come home with a drain tube in me, but it isn't drianing out into a bag or anything, just hanging there on my side. Dr. Bright was great dealing with this problem, he really did his best to take care of the matter. It caused me to stay A Scracred Heart Center in Spokane longer then I thought I would be staying, but it was cos of the problem that accured.
   I am on Medicare and Medicaid, and nothing was paid by me, Both paid for the surgery. Took me time to help the Clinic and hospital to understand that Medicaid would pay the 20% and once that happened I was in for surgery extremely fast, it was awesome, I would not change a thing. Not even a month after surgery and I am at least 30 lbs lighter. yay.
