hello all sorry that i havent been on in a while.. i have been busy and me and my fiances computer crapped out on us a while ago, and now we just got our computer back today.  well the updates are that i am down to 210. i have plateaued on losing weight and havent lost any for a while.  so we went with going to try and get the skin removals surgeries with my insurance. went through 4-5 months of monitoring for skin rashes and supprise that i didnt have rashes, so they did the next thing that they can think of, took pictures of all of the excess skin that i had.  about a month latter i went to my surgeon to get an update on where we were on with the insurance.  they have denied it, but the amazing surgeon that he was he appealed their decision and got back to me a week ago and told me that my insurace had finaly approve all of the surgeries that im gona be having done..  last month on the 23rd i had panniculectomy done... surgery went great... until the 2nd day after surgery, they were gona send me home the 2nd day but they gave me the option to stay another night and go home the next day.. well i told him that i wanted to be on the safe side and that i wanted to stay another night to be on the safe side.. and a good thing that i did.. that night i got up to go to the restroom got part way to the toilet, started to get light headed i tryed to make it to the bed but didnt make it back in time, i blacked out and woke up on the floor. i was able to crawl back to the bed and call for help.  they came down to my room and was able to get me back to the bed and called the surgeon and told them to order blood work and check my hemaglobin they told me that they wanted to see it at least at 10 or above. my hemaglobin was down to 3.  so they got to working on geting me started on blood transfusions.  i had 2 drains in and between the both of them they put out 1500 of blood out before the bleeding started to slow down.  they checked it a couple of hours latter and it was up to 10, the next day they checked it again it went back down to 5, so they had ordered more transfusions, this time besides the blood they had ordered that they give me f.f.p- fresh frozen plasma so that it can help stop the bleeding. well it did the trick they checked it about 2 hours it was up to 11 and the next day they checked it the next morning and it only went down to 8.. i was so thankfull.. after all that was said and done i had 4 blood transfusions and 2 f.fp's.  i was in the hospital for 6 days, but im glad that i didnt go home early or it could of been bad.  and now here i amtoday gona be 1 month post op friday doing good and loving my new tummy.no drains got those out a week latter after i got out of the hospital. though now once a week i have to go get the blood drained off but i dont mind.. well anyways looks like i have to go through 3 more surgeries when its all said and done.. im not sure what they are wanting to do for the next surgery, i guess i will find out in july he is wanting me to heal before the next one.. well that is all sorry that this is long over due..
