This has been an experience I will never forget
Nov 13, 2010
Let me tell you that this has been an experience I will never forget. Surgery was Oct 25th and everything went well as we thought. Got home Oct 29th. The weekend went ok but found that I was running a low grade fever and eating was not going so well. Had pain everytime I tried to eat. On Tuesday Nov 2 , I was in the ER at Baptist. Xray showed Pneumonia in my left lung and after drinking contrast for a CT scan showed..1. the contrast was in my old stomach...REALLY! and 2. Apparently the doctor missed a stapleline. I was so angry!!!! I spend the next 7 days back in the hosptial with a drain tube in my lung. I had a EDG scope done to verify yes that there is an opening in my old stomach..GREAT! I got home this past Monday and still breathing is difficult but getting better. Now I just sitting here thinking what in the world has happened to me. What is going on... Doctor Lynch does not want to operate again to fix the mistake until I lose more weight....But will I..with things going to my old stomach..Very frustrated..pissed off and not sure what to do.

This seems like it will be the hardest month for me. Already had my last consult with the nutrionist and exercise consultant. My last seminar will be on the 7th and then my last appointment with Dr. Lynch on the 30th. I have not lost any weight for about 3 weeks and not sure why. My knees are hurting, dont know if its because of the weather change or just the weight. Praying for a healthier me!!

So I went to my first seminar. It was very informative and scared me a bit in a good way. So glad that I went and happy about my decision with having Dr. Lynch as my surgeon.
I have my office visit with Dr. Lynch on July 15th. Also meet with the nutrionist and excerise specialist. Lost 17lbs since June 25th WOOT!! Everyone was impressed with my weight loss so far and gave me incouragement to push myself more. Just can't wait until I get a date.
