Well Next week will be my six month mark. I saw the surgeron today (I know a week early), he was very happy with my results. I am down 85lbs I am so happy. Now its time to schedule my next edg. They will call me sometime next week with the date. We all talked about my excess skin around my middle. He said that is where I am carry my excess weight and that will need to come off.... I am so happy he said that, because I have been thinking the same thing.

6 weeks out
Sep 01, 2009
I am now about 6 weeks out. I am not sure about how much I have loss yet. I have had some problems.
Last week I was rushed to the hospital, because I had shortness of breath and what the called a wet lung. Come to find out I had blood clots in my lungs. I was in the hospital for 5 days, I am doing a better but have to take it easy.
The ER doctor said it was a roller coaster effect. It started with the gout, and me not being able to exercise as I should.
Even with these complications I would not change a thing.

Uric acid build up after surgery
Aug 09, 2009
I have been to the ER twice twice this week, because I haven't been able to put any pressure to first my left foot now my right foot. The dr's aren't sure what is doing on. They told me it could be a stress fracture, nuropority (sp), some shark thing or gout. After talking to my cousin (who is a nurse) and doing some research of my own we have come to the conclusion that it is gout. I wonder how many people have had this to happen to them. I am calling Dr. Duncan office tomorrow plus my podiatrist to get a handle on this. No one should have to go thru this pain.

Did it really happen?
Jul 31, 2009
It is still hard to believe that I had surgery on July 21, 2009. I havent had any of the issues that most people have talked about. Which I know that everyone is different, but still I wonder in my mind did I really just have a major surgery?
One thing like everyone else I am having a hard time getting in my liquids in. But it is getting easier every day.
Monday will be my first post-op appt. I cant wait as I do have some questions on how to handle going back to work.
I am thankful for all I have gone thru to get to where I am today, and this time next month and the month after and so on how much healthier I will be and feel.
