HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY BROTHERS & SISTERS! i saw my pcp today. he took a culture of the ooze from my incision but he thinks its not infected. he thinks my incision broke down from my adhesive allergy! grrrrr of all my allergies thats the one i hate the most cause believe it or not, its the one that causes me the most problems. i cant even wear a bandaid! anyway...he gave me an antibiotic 'just in case' & told me to keep it clean & use neosporin on it. so now i am sitting around like a buddah with my belly hanging out of my housedress so nothing rubs the sore area. lol. hes not sure what is wrong with my liver so he is referring me to a liver specialist. hope i can get to the bottom of this real soon. 3 more weeks i become 'grandma' & as of right now i am isolated from all children & babies. :-(

I'm sorry to see you have an infection in your incision. I hope it clears up soon so you can continue to heal.

I AM HOME!!! and very very thankful to god & the good friends here at AMOS, that i have made over the past year. i am so overwhelmed with thankfulness i dont know where to begin. i guess i will start with my 3 angels. yes 3. irene WAS one of my angels but i didnt list her as an official angel because she is a very busy lady who travels alot & i didnt want to burden her with the responsibility of being an angel. my thoughts were, irene will be there for me, far or near. well i was right & irene, now u know, u were one of my angels! i love u girl & hope we can cement our friendship for a long time to come. our visit was short but so sweet & we have spoken by phone a few times now. i hope we will see more of each other. georgia, as an angel, u r an angel! lol. not only did georgia come visit me, but, she has been a tremendous boost to my confidence as a 'loser.' she & irene both answered my questions honestly & directly & were so concerned about my having a 'sick' liver. i look forward to having a valuable friendship with georgia as well. & they both gave me such thoughtful & wonderful gifts! annie, too, visited with me by phone & gave me a great gift too. she advised me to have my honey shave my legs when i got home & into my first at home shower. lolol. well i laffed long & hard (ouch) but, she was sooo right about how good it would feel. god bless these 3 women for they truly r angels & i love them dearly. annie & i already have a phone relationship/friendship because i was her angel & i look forward to meeting her sometime in the future. next i want to thank all my AMOS brothers & sisters for the wonderful posts to my surgery page & emails they sent me. please forgive me for not replying to u all one on one but i had a total of 30 messages when i got home & back on line. u r all so wonderful!!! thank u all so very very much. thanks to eric for starting this wonderful site. there would be many more unhappy, misguided ppl living in the morbid obesity world than there is, because of this site. i came thru the surgery with flying colors, as i knew i would. i never had a doubt that this was the right thing for me to do. i am 5 days post op open rny & feel pretty terrific considering its only been 5 days. my liver biopsy came back & its not as bad as we feared, altho my honey is worried sick. there r 2 diagnosis attached to the biopsy. the first is a very fatty liver (gee...no kidding?) which dr newhoff says will heal & get better & better as i lose weight. the second is chronic hepatitis. now that came as a shock. i have never been diagnosed with any form of hepatitis nor do i remember ever having any symptoms of hepatitis. dr newhoff is having a report sent asap to my pcp with recommendations as to how to diagnose, treat & care for me. honey & i r thinking that maybe of all the meds ive been on these past 6 years, one of them has caused some liver damage. i can name one in particular (but wont...) that i am sure could be the culprit. when i woke up from surgery my first thought was ... omg!! this BETTER be worth it! lol. anyway, i have a new birthday & a new life & am very happy. happier than i have been in many many years. so i have to say it IS worth it. god bless dr newhoff & his 'magic' hands. god bless all of us. good luck to all my AMOS brothers & sisters no matter what step of the journey u r on.

I spoke to Sheryl today and she sounded good! She is quite tired and sore, off the pump and pain meds. The nurse gave her Liquid Tylenol, but it tasted too sweet to her so she didn't want to chance it until she spoke with her doctor. She still hasn't heard about her biopsy of her liver, but we all are keeping our fingers crossed. Other then that, she is expecting to leave the hospital tomorrow morning! Bless her heart for all that she has endured this year. Again Sheryl, my love goes out to you and your family. -- Annie

I visited Sheryl briefly this morning and she is doing great. It was nice to meet her and her husband, Paul. I would have stayed longer but they brought her first "meal" - broth and jello and I remember what a treat that was so I didn't want to interupt. Sheryl expects to be released from the hospital on Friday and return to Las Vegas on Saturday.

My sweet sweet Sheryl. I am so damn proud of you girl! You have come such a long way. Look at what you and your hubby have gone through in the past year. Wow, what a ride life has given you. And now you are here, on the other side. WwwHHOOOOO!! I can't wait to talk to Paul and hear everything. You've got my full support, along with several other WLS buddies of yours. You are in good hands, and will do fabulously! What a Holiday gift to you and your family. And not to mention you have a grand baby on the way! (you are too young to be a grandma!) My love to you always, Annie :)

Although I am not Sheryl's angel, I snuck up to the hospital tonight to see her and had hoped to see Georgia too, but I see from her post she is going tomorrow....BUT...Sheryl, was good to meet you. Whooohooo, you are finally on the other side. You looked good, had good coloring, and was great that you were sitting up. It was nice to meet Paul (her hubby). It was also nice to listen to that great "eastern accent" that I miss so much!! LOL. Catch ya before you leave PHX~~Love and Peace~~Irene
