well its been a month since wls an it has been a ruff one.the operation was  easy compared to the last few weeks.i had bad chest pains .I drove to the dr office only to be sent by ambulance to the hospital.They found three blood clots in my lungs two on the right an one on the left.the pain was worst than the surgry.I thought i was having a hearth attack..I am home again after a week in the hospital.the clots are still there an i have to give myself shots twice a day in the belly fat an have to take blood thinners daily.the pain has eased up a little but i will see next week with the new cat scan if the clots are getting any smaller. the weight however seems to be going away ok i guess i will see the surgon  tomarrow.nothing is going to keep me down.i refuse to get anything but good news here on out...I am praying so very hard for the blessing of a healthy future.peace an love friends..Ruth
