  HELLO MY FRIENDS.I HAD MY REVISION WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY ON 12/5 AND ALL WENT WELL.. THE NAME OF THE SURGERY WAS ACTUALLY CALLED A "GASTRECTOMY" I HAD A FISTULA THAT IS A COMPLICATION FROM MY GASTRIC BYPASS AND I HAD TO HAVE THE 3/4 OF MY STOMACH THAT WAS BYPASSED TAKEN OUT..SO ALL WENT WEL; AND I WAS ONLY IN THE HOSPITAL 3 1/2 DAYS--NO CPMPLICATIONS..I AM VERY WEAK AND IN ALOT OF PAIN--I HAD TONS OF ADHESIONS ONCE AGAIN ON MY INTESTINES THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED BEFORE THE SURGERY SO I AM BLACK AND BLUE ON THE OUTSIDE AND IN AND IN ALOT OF PAIN AND SUPER TIRED..I HAVE LOST 1 LBS SO FAR IN THE PAST 9 DAYS SINCE I HAVE BEEN HOME AS AT FIRST AFTER THE SURGERY I WAS SO BLOADED WITH FLUID AND GAS.. I HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF MY INSULIN AND OTHER MEDS FOR NOW SO I DO NOT GET DEHYDRATED--AS I HAVE DIABETIC COMPLICATIONS LIKE KIDNEY DISEASE--I HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS AS TIME GOES BY IF I NEED TO BE PUT BACK ON INSULIN--I MAY NOT  AND MY BP IS GOOD ALSO.. SO TIME WILL TELL AND I SHOULD KEEP DROPPING MORE WEIGHT--THE WEIGHT I GAINED LIKE 30 LBS AND HOPEFULLY I WILL MAKE IT TO MY GOAL FINALLY--THE DIABETES EDUCATOR TOLD ME THAT HIS FISTULA WAS MESSING WITH MY PANCREAS AND MY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS SO NOT THAT IT IS OUT I SHOULD BE DOING GOOD WITH MY SUGARS..
